[QUOTE="MtPockets, post: 2858775, member: 39651"] Being that you mentioned packing it in a trailer or pickup bed, I'll mention what some friends of mine used for many many years. It's all homemade. You take 4x8 sheets of plywood, lay them on the long side, and put hinges on the short ends to pin them together. Two sheets would stay pinned together and were set up as the corners, then pinned in the middle. On the ends, a second row of plywood cut for a roof pitch was stacked on the bottom row. A long 2x6 was used for the roof peak with 2x4 "rafters" that set into place to support the roof. The plywood was also insulated with pink styrofoam. They were incredibly warm and durable and the configuration could be changed to meet your needs. Let me know if you want more info. I could maybe draw something up to better show how they were built. Obviously not something you'd pack in but if you're base camping out of the pickup they cant be beat! [/QUOTE]
