    it,s all a matter of personal preference. since i,m driving from the island to the interior or the north,i like my wall tent. it doesn,t take up much room and i,m not burning fuel hauling a lot of weight. i also like having a large roomy toasty warm space. also don,t have to worry about blowing a tire or a wheel bearing on my tent.

    To me the wall tent wins by a mile if you don't need to be mobile. Its much larger in usable space, its warmer, no condensation, you can dry clothes after a rainy day and its more comfortable. I've stayed in them all and prefer the wall tent anyday for more than 3 days stay.

    Wall tent by a mile. Best hunting trips EVER have been in a wall tent.

    10 ft camper, with a bathroom, forced air heat, large refridgerator, comfy queen sized bed, running hot and cold water. Lights sat. tv, and a lovely awning to BBQ under. Hard ridgid construction so it is a little thicker barrier to bear entry, so the wife will come hunting too! Weather proof, and it is portable, so a guy can move if it gets too busy in my hunting area. Moosin

    It depends on where & when you want to hunt. A wall tent is quite versatile but if you hunt the early season the bugs will eat you alive. A camper is very comphy but you have to take it off to go anywhere. We hunt in the later season & we use a wall tent. Cheaper & easier .

    I was at the Hunting show at the Tradex a couple of years ago and saw this thing.

    It seemed like it would be spacious and warm......don't know.....don't own one.

    I bought the 12 x 12 ALAKANAK with a stove from Cabelas. It's fantastic.
