Trailer Tent Guide

1 & 2 Season Tents (Spring / Summer Tents)

A one or two season tent, often referred to as a summer tent, is designed with lightweight packing in mind. A summer tent would be used for warm weather camping as it is not constructed with the necessities for cold weather protection. The tent body is constructed of a mesh window material for proper ventilation and often includes a rainfly cover.
