Although not optimal for motorcycle travel, one of the best features of these tents is being able to leave half of each pole in each sleeve. Best way is to tape the sections that stay in the sleeve to prevent them from inadvertently separating. The rolled up tent will be as long as half a pole but it makes setting it up in blizzards much easier. Typically carried on a pulk (sled) so the extra length isn’t an issue.
Great review! Just got this myself, also have the allak 3. Going to bring keron to Hardangervidda in Norway next week. Excited to test it out. Hilleberg is pure quality, although very pricey.
Hi, good video. I have a red Keron 4 also. I sling the inner tent backwards when solo, so I can keep my ‘bedroom’ neat. I’d be able to get a Harley in there overnight, I think. You definitely would in the GT version. Mine was a Road King with a 1600 engine conversion. Sweet. You mentioned a “casement fan”, I’ve not seen one of those before. Can you provide me with the product details so I can investigate if they are available in the UK ?
Thanks for the comment! It is a pretty awesome tent! As to the fan... Maybe you were refering to my camping fan. It really is just a small fan you can find on Amazon. The actual brand and name is: "dizauL Portable Fan". Thanks for watching!
WiscoRider thanks for responding. Your fan was no longer available on Amazon UK, but I was able to order a similar one for deliver tomorrow. Previously, I bought a 12volt shower room extractor fan for a boat, extended the lead and fitted a switched cigar connector. Trapped it in the inner tent zip and exhausted to the outer. Was brilliant until I bought my Range Rover Sport and that disconnects the power on shutdown. 😥
CQDX CQDX .. Cool review man.. I love the attention to detail. Also a Ham radio lover ... But I live in S.E. Asia So The language barrier is a problem on VHF and UHF. I tend to DX on 11m call sign 153TM001..A heads up for folks on A budget . The Naturehike Brand do a 3 to 4 man tunnel tent at around 160USD. Obviously not the hand build quality of this tent . However adequate for 3 seasons... Not a lot of snow in Thailand... God bless Bro. Awesome content...Got some Antique radios if you interested In A1 top condition.. Subbed,,,
Siam... Thanks for the comment! Great to hear another Ham Radio operator out there. I did take this tent out during field day the states. However, I spent more time relaxing than actually on the radio. Thanks for the comment! Thanks for subscribing!
Yeah, the not standing up has been a struggle at times, but I am use to it now. For me, it packs up as light and small as my requirements need to be. I know for others, it will be too large.
Great review.Thanks a lot !!!!
Thanks!

I know the video is old, but quick question, does the small vestibule door have mesh netting on it?
No, it does not.

Only 2 problems for me. It pack up quite big and you can't stand up straight.
Yeah, the not standing up has been a struggle at times, but I am use to it now. For me, it packs up as light and small as my requirements need to be. I know for others, it will be too large.
...and it is insanely expensive.
Just curious, what tent has a small pack size and allows you to stand up straight?
what are those gloves worn for?
I was doing yard work earlier, and just did not take the off.
How did you go on field day? This is why I am looking at the same tent. Frank VK4FEM
Complete waste of time to do a video with no price monitor how much is it
jim wortham Have you heard of “google.com”? Pretty cool website you may want to look into...
