I like the hand brake for the trailer - Thats a neat touch...

The "FAN" tilt over sure looks like it does the trick for fast setup... My 20-30-foot tarp over the whole camper does not go up that easy for sure...

I have to fully setup my off-road POPUP first then throw the special tarp I have made up that has two large holes cut out in it to go around the roof mounted air conditioner and fantastic fan setup. I also have two additional smaller holes cut out to go over a couple of radio antenna mounts on the trailer roof. Once the holes are aligned up with the roof mounted items then I can drop the rear of the 20-30 tarp to the ground at an angle of about 45 degrees. This makes for a nice storage area for fire wood...

The front part of the tarp will extend out over my extended awning and is supported by the awning tent poles as well as two additional tent poles I have put up. This gives me a full 20-foot tarp over my popup roof and front awning. I use 1/2-inch ratchet straps to the ground in the front. These 1/2-inch ratchet straps go to the two front earth screw in ground anchors. I also have two ground anchors on the back side of the popup. I have four 1/2-inch ratchet web straps connected from eyelets in the four corners of the popup roof to the earth ground anchors. The back tarp end goes straight to the ground anchors and tent stakes making a good storage area for firewood.

I have been setup in 40MPH wind without any issues... Having the front area under a full length Tarp over both tent beds ends and the extended front awning is neat to have...

I have only done this a couple of of times for a longer stay setup...
