Frequently Asked Questions

Q:

Does my Kamp-Rite™ Tent Cot come with a warranty?

A:

Yes. We offer a 1-year manufacturer's warranty. So keep your proof of purchase receipt, and if you run into any faults, please see the manager at your place of purchase.

Q:

Will my Tent Cot blow away in high winds?

A:

Not while you're in it! But if you're concerned about it while you're away from camp, simply fold it up where it stands and it won't go anywhere.

Q:

Can I use my Tent Cot without a sleeping pad inside?

A:

Yes you can. All of Kamp-Rite's aluminum framed Tent Cots come standard with a 3/8" foam pad inserted between the tent and the cot. However, for added comfort, a self-inflating sleeping pad can be added and usually can be left inside the Tent Cot when folded for storage.

Q:

How much weight will a Tent Cot support?

A:

"The Original" Tent Cot will support up to 300lbs. Our "Oversize" Tent Cot is built with our larger framed customers in mind and will support up to 350lbs. And our two person Tent Cot, "The Double", will support up to 550lbs.

Q:

How easy are Tent Cots to set-up and break-down?

A:

Very easy! Every Tent Cot comes ready-to-use, right out of the box, and takes no more than a minute or two to set-up. Once you've done it a couple of times, they're even faster to take down. And except for the 2 poles used for the dome-topped versions, there's no assembly or disassembly required!

Q:

How easily do they convert into a chair or lounge?

A:

Quite easily. With the flick of your thumb, you release the 6 clips that hold the tent portion upright, give some slack to the support straps underneath the cot and you're there!

Q:

Will the Tent Cot fold-up if I leave my sleeping bag inside?

A:

Some will, some won't. It all depends on how well your bag compresses. Thinner "down" bags work really well, while some poly-fill bags might be too thick. It's definitely worth researching.

Q:

How waterproof are the Tent Cots?

A:

Straight out of it's carry-bag, the Tent Cot won't be bothered by a quick shower or two. But add the seal-taped rainfly, and you're ready for almost anything nature has in store.

Q:

"The Double" Tent Cot is a great idea, but what's to keep my wife and I from rolling into each other in the middle?

A:

Well hopefully nothing keeps the two of you from each other! But where a good night's sleep is concerned, we designed "The Double" with a padded center bar that separates each person's sleep area to assure a restful sleep without the worry of rolling into one another.

Q:

What should I use to clean my Tent Cot?

A:

A soft cloth with a light soap and water mixture will do fine.

Q:

Can my Tent Cot be attached to my car's roof rack?

A:

We don't currently offer adaptations to mount Tent Cots to a roof rack, but we have heard rumor that a few of our "off-roading" friends in Africa and Australia have done just that. *We don't currently recommend mounting your Tent Cot to a vehicle roof, but if you live near lions and elephants, we suppose it's okay...
