I'm not familiar with the concept of "tube tent". Are they self supporting like auto windshield reflecters? Do they have to be tied off to stay up?

It has no supporting frame. I have not used it yet but it comes folded in a small plastic bag. The top looks like a rope needs to be placed.

Yes, it has to be held up by a cord (included). Just get the cord through the tube and tie the ends to surrounding trees. Or just get your sleeping bag inside the tube. Be aware, though, this is an "emergency" shelter... something you'll pack with you for a "just in case" situation.

yes it will stay up on its own. i do not reccomend not staking the tent if you plan on keeping it up for any period of time as it can blow away and be damaged.

They work great on the 2 tents I have. Just be sure to angle them, push them back towards the tent.

Indeed! We have a van and it would have been nice. But we couldn't figure out a good way to do it. Maybe you should just have 2 tents and put them together! Someone said it works great. We did attach a tarp from the tent to the van for a rain fly type of connection. It didn't rain so I don't know how it would work.

That is the beauty of this tent! There is a zipper to close off that section. I have used the tent on its own without having it attached to a vehicle.

Elizabeth-with this one, I guess you would have to detach the bottom suction cups. This shade is more for the window on a hatchback. They do have shades for the side windows that attach so that they go up and down with the window without detaching.Hope my answer helps.

The shade/screen tent works great. It has tie downs that are optional depending on the wind. Since the tie downs are twine/rope, you can drill or put stakes between your pavers. For more shade, you can get shade panels. The only negative I have found, is the very fine mesh blocks slow breezes as well as gnats. If you only need shade, find another solution. If you want to keep bugs out, this will do it.

It does have a nice "tub" and I have used it without a tarp. But you will have to pitch the tent where you can put in the stakes. It is heavy. So to solve the problem, for me. I leave the poles out of the bag (as they have there own bag); then I can carry them separately to the camp site.

We appreciate your inquiry of our product. These lights are meant to be a permanent attachment to the awning roller tube or the outer sidewall of the coach. The LED light strips will not come off during travel. Please let us know if you have any further questions. We look forward to your order.Thank You Sun-Wave Enterprises

Not really...It doesnt extend very far away from the car so I would be careful if the tent is outside for example...

I do around 20 outdoor shows a year and I have no problem setting it up by myself. Trick is to push from the middle of the tent and push up so the canopy extends out then it makes it easier to snap the top part in.

This tent is not free standing, it has only one pole the goes right down the center. This tent has to be staked down to set up. But if you are using it for backpacking it is great I love mine. It has to be one of the lighted tents I have ever used. Hope I have helped!

There are no suction cups-- they just rest behind the rear view mirror and the sun visors (they slightly overlap in the center in my car). With the flexible wire in the seams, I've never had to fight them to stay up at all.

You have to use the stakes. this is not a free standing tent with fiberglass poles.

Yes, a tent makes sense. I rigged up a frame made out of 3/4" pvc pipe . . . did not glue it, so I could take it down for storage . . . and just loosely draped some cheap plastic over the frame, then clipped the plastic to the tray edge. When the danger of frost passed the plants were "hardened" and ready to go to the garden.

The tent that I have is different form the one pictured. It look like the tent that one person can put up and it stands on its own. I do not know if it can be anchored or how sturdy it is. I considered buying this tent because I now work alone and needed something that I could put up by myself. The company has a demo on line

Not really because the whole front needs to be anchored down to hold the rest of the tent tight. I might also mentioned that a gust of wind tore mine in half the first night I ever used it.
