jeeper50... that's even better. You can hardly buy a camping tent for that price!
Notice in the pictures I have added two horizontal pipes on the front and rear for more rigidity. They are just 1-1/4" emt conduit.  Also the side horizontal pipes normally are run through a sleeve in the tent to tension the fabric. I used them slightly higher, again for framework rigidity. I am using more emt pipe in the tent sleeves to tighten the fabric after it is pulled over the frame. It will be self evident when you start putting it together.

Has anyone ever stopped you on the road to tell you your cover blew off?

That's a good one Lee. Not yet but people don't seem to realize we unload the Jeep then put the cover on and reverse the process when we are ready to leave.
Reminds me of when my wife got her Prius when they first came out. People would ask how the batteries got charged and she would reply.. I just look for the nearest power line to drive under.
