ABSTRACT:
A portable tent arrangement comprises a duffle-type pouch having an axial zipper within which rayon tenting material is packed and affixed at one end to the back of the pouch. The pouch is mounted on the rear of a motorcycle or bicycle which supports the rear of the assembled tent. A smaller zippered pouch extends axially along the side of the larger pouch to accommodate various mounting elements such as tent pegs, adjustable tent rods and a pole and folded plastic battens which are used to provide side support. To assemble the tent, the tenting material is pulled out horizontally from the larger pouch, the rods are inserted into four sewn-in corner pockets at each end of the tent and the hinged battens are unfolded and inserted into four diagonal pouches sewn into the sides of the tenting material to provide side support and shape for the tent. Four small plastic tenting pegs are also supplied within the smaller pouch to provide the final shape and support for the tent. The tenting material also includes a sewn-in back panel and floor, as well as a sewn-in front panel with a nylon zipper. The front of the tent is arranged slightly lower than the back with the adjustable pole to prevent rain from running down into the pouch. The tent is easy to assemble and is taken down by merely removing the pegs, folding the battens, collapsing the rods and pole and then placing the mounting elements into the smaller pouch and stuffing the material back into the main pouch.
