hahah thanks for watching random user. Happy new year

Hey Steve would love to see your videos of the tent experience.. I mean my vid is actually us camping in it there was no hotel for me.. Just did the Connie Sue Track that was only 4,000km round trip but i had to go back to work in my Gov job so cant go for too long :P

Love it thanks for taking the time to write such nice things :P

Glad im not the only person with one! Has all your velcro come off as well? Did you swap out your mattress? What did you use? There are a few upgraded to do once they are done I wil post the update,

⁠@@poordirk2710hi mate I’m curious about what upgrades you are referring to as I went and viewed a demo model today and I’m considering buying

There are not many tent not made in china or "asia" I asked Canyon for you where they make their gear.. let you know soon

@@poordirk2710 agree most of them are made in China as with Canyon, but look at the reviews on Canyon against kings... no comparison!

I asked the Canyon crew nice bunch down there.. none of their tents are made in Australia. FYI. The canyon version could be made in the same place as kings just different spec. And probably better warranty support im sure. They do have a 50mm matress which is a huge upgrade from the 30mm in the kings ..

yeh man go for gold !!

No it goes from the center cross bar to the back / lid there is a pole loop and its a safety feature incase the tent struts wear out or strong wind conditions

Yeh saw that. Im also adding some improvements like pinch weld aroudn the edging and bungee cord to pull the tent inwards like the expensive brands! Stay tuned

Its not easy it weight about 60KG... What ive done is hung some ratchetts from my carport and i connect each corner then setadily lift of the roof as required.

The roof pole clip thing is way to small for the pole it clips into.. design oversight

Im gald! I hope the little mods are good to. Im ugrading matress again... self inflatable 10cm thick somethings will post when its done

Have a look at part 2... I have part 3 coming out next week with some mods that Ive done to the tent to make it easier to close down and more comfy. The sales guy at Kings said they are a nightmare to close lol.. But knowing that I could see issues for the closing like the plastic flexing and getting cause on its rivets.. the tent material flowing outside of the lid and ppl using spatulas to tuck it in.. I went the 4x4 show got some cool tips to be added to mine,. Stay tuned

Im guessing you mean iKamper made in South Korea ? Kings are china the same shape / designs are all made OS asia somewhere so youve paid thru the nose for an Ikamper. The only Aussie made tent i think at the momenet is A247 otherwise I agreee Kings is one of the lowest cost versions for sure. Waterproofability thoough it was storming and side rain it did well.

No transparent cover..

Dunno Mate ive got some improvements up me sleeve in the next series

no its comes with nothing! lol just the crappy matress. You have to add lights, shoe bags, better matress etc

Camping isnt for you then I guess.

@@poordirk2710 you might have to look in the mirror with that answer 🤣😂🤣

For the price its a good buy just have to do some mods to make it better. You will never sleep on that 30mm matress kings know that however its hard to add any other matress that makes sense becuase of the design. Sadly its the same design as alot of these side open tents. Some have been smart and changed out the brackt so it will close 20mm higher then you have a better chance of at the least 40-50mm mattress

Setup is quick-ish if you dont want the "Moon Roof" but the shutdown is tedious. I have some tricks there coming in the next few videos..

Nah they dont car about the reviews man !

no mate there is no room.. Its super strange there seems to be 75mm space between the two platforms when you fold it so you should be able to squeez in 75mm... the 30mm OEM matress become 60mm on the fold and add the anticondensation mat is 12mm become 24mm s othats 72 mm and its tight! you cnat add a sleeping bag at all.. maybe squeeze something in at the back where there should be room like the 23zero offering. But I have successfully added 75mm self inflateable matress that vacuums down to about 35mm thick and its is still tight if you dont vacuum properly but its the best option for decent confort.

It 68kg but you cant store anythign in it they are actaullya wesome but rubbish at the same time. If you are going to spedn $1500 or more then get something you can store gear inside of. This one is not it ! and you haev to upgrade yoru mattress immediately too. This one is only 30mm thin and not comfortable at all

You can sort of in the very back if you use the 30mm oem matress but i havnt been able to stow anything in it with my inflatable one

I have 2 matresses im trialing. The Dune 100mm self inflatable (this one you can vacuum down to be 35mm thin and it folds into the tent.) and I have a medium density foam 65mm I will be trialing this weekend and see if it closes.

@@poordirk2710 hey did the 65mm foam fold down? I'm looking to buy this tent but want to be sure of a matress solution before pulling the trigger

Nope its a horrizontal pole that goes from the "roof" which becomes the back wall.. there is a loop for it and extendts tp the mi d rib but the collar isnt wide enough so dosnt quite fit

Im sending it in for repairs around the second last month of its warranty life. That way i can capture everythign and you never know if alot is broken they might just repalce it.
