Going camping and would like to buy a new tent. Does anyone here know much about tents and recommends any ? I am not getting a cheap one at like walmart or anything. I want a high quality tent. I guess nothing more than $300 to $350. Maybe less. Its going to be used for all kind of weather. Snow, rain, sleet, hail, wind, etc. What would last a lifetime? I am not expecting it to though.
Would a canvas tent be better to get then a normal fabic tent ? Would it last any longer? I have been researching for a while and I believe The UV Light from the sun damages the normal fabic tents. Though I know there are rainflys you can put over them to protect them from that but how long would a rain fly even last to protect the tent? I know canvas tents are very heavy.
Where would be a good place to buy a tent ? (You can recommend online retailers as well incase I have to buy it online) I do really want to buy it locally fhat way I can look at it before buying it but I can't find any place with the real life size tents set up.
