Yep, that is the way my truck tent
and other ground tents are made. Practice at home and you can even color
code the rods with colored electrical tape( big 12 person ground tent, makes it
quicker since I don't use much). The practice make it quicker when you arrive at
camp after dark and still need to set up, and directions are good and always
keep with the tent. Some tent rods come color coded to match which
place they go on the tent, this is a big help. Practice, practice,
practice.

camping
Okay, all you tent campers, what type of tent is
the easiest to put up for a "tent challenged" person like me. I camp with my
daughter usually, and it's like a Lucille Ball show when we try to put up
& take down the tent. We have a dome with fiberglass (?) rods (held
together by some stretchy stuff) that are pushed through the rod pockets of
the tent. It's actually easier to put up than take down due to it being nearly
impossible to pull the rods without them breaking apart and the stretchy
stuff just stretching too much. The one time my hubby came to help, he
got frustrated as well, so it's not just me & my 13 yr old that have
trouble with it. Any tent suggestions?
