Tent

[ericcoleman]

I just set up the new tent in the front yard ... it's big ...

I just need a good air mattress, and I am ready to go.

Get an AeroBed. It sounds extravagent, but they really work if you're tent is big enough. T and I have been using one for camping at Oshkosh for a number of years now, inflating it with a little Rat Shack inverter off the car battery. Works great.

I really can't afford it

I'm probably going for a Coleman (fittingly) double twin air mattress, so I don't have to spend TOO much time getting off the floor.

Actually, you may want to check into a camp cot :) A bit taller, so easier to get off of the floor from; surprisingly comfy too. Friend lent me one when i went to summer camp last month as my air mattress had died recently...wasn't a deluxe model, but still did fine for an entire week :) Depending on just how big the tent is, you may be able to fit in a deluxe one too, and overall cots are about the same price as a decent-quality mattress. Just some thoughts :)

They're a little pricier generally. I'm shopping again on the way home tonight, but I think I know what I want.
