They hold up really well. We've had them in 50+ mph winds, staked down and no issues. Also, it comes with a rain fly to use in the rain. Again, no issues as long as you let it dry completely before tearing it down. Our favorite is the medium as it's a great size.
@@HoneymoonersOffroadAdventures I guess what I'm wondering is - if one seals up the shelter, either on a cold day or to use air conditioning, is there enough light coming through to see and get around or are you in total darkness? Just about all of my camping is in the desert, and I'd like to run a/c and take a break during the hottest part of the day, but would prefer it not to be in pitch darkness.
@@FrancisBecka no it’s not complete darkness when completely sealed up. We would recommend getting a strand of lights to put up in there to help, but it won’t be completely dark in the daylight. Some light will still come through the walls.
Yet people will easily spend $15-30,000, or more on a trailer/RV when most of the time they are using it, it is spent crammed into tiny campsites with dozens of other 'campers'. Only to enjoy the gridlock of camping in a campground for a couple of weeks, then they park it for the rest of the year. Yes, it is on the spendy side for "Just a tent popup", but much stouter and quieter than most tents as well. I have spent time in those other tents, and it is an entirely different experience in a Shiftpod. At least try and experience one prior to judging. They do have issues, mostly with condensation, but also, completely setting one up, with stakes, zipping in floors, and putting on the blast shield (highly recommend), takes about 30 minutes for this crippled up old man. I wish they would quit saying it takes 2 minutes to set up, that is BS. I have the Shiftpod 3, and it is a real plus to be able to hang out and fully stand up in when needed, and quite comfy.

Dan that looked like you had 3 body bags in front of you lol. I hope to get the lil one in time but they are real pricy.
This was great, thank you so much for the comparison.
good demo. Keep em coming!!!!
The link to the Shiftpod XL setup & tear down has been fixed.
For new campers like me that is great advice!
Our pull out t handlea broke as well, just contact shift pod and they replace them.
So the point is insulation? No natural light?
How do they handle in rain 🌧 storms...any leaks❓️Thanks for the video 😊
When it rains there aren't "leaks" but kind of like a regular tent, if you're inside and touch the sides your hands will be wet.
Make a truck bed shiftpod
Great review thanks!
Im considering the medium(III)..How do these hold up in rain and strong winds?
They hold up really well. We've had them in 50+ mph winds, staked down and no issues. Also, it comes with a rain fly to use in the rain. Again, no issues as long as you let it dry completely before tearing it down. Our favorite is the medium as it's a great size.
Why are people referring to these as shit pods instead of shift pods ?
I haven’t heard that on these. Usually in reference to the actual tents use for toilet and shower
Are the windows translucent, or is it totally dark inside when the windows are closed?
Not transparent. There is a black screen on the windows and doors, then you can zip the windows up and yes it gets very dark by doing that.
@@HoneymoonersOffroadAdventures thanks

No, just ports for a heater or AC
The link to the setup and teardown of the Shiftpod XL appears to be broken, it takes you to a completely unexpected video.
