Looking for a springbar tent

[Augie Dog]

I just found this forum and it is very informative. Any way I am looking for a Springbar tent that sleeps 4 to 8 people. I am familiar with the different models so let me know what you have. I live in Apex,NC so some one close would be great but will entertain any sale from outside NC if shipping is not too costly. Let me know what you have. You can also e-mail me at goncampn@hotmail.com I am a seasoned tent,rv camper but occasionally like to rough it getting back to basics. I want a good quality American made tent and not CHINESE JUNK!! Let me know what you have.
Thanks
Augie Dog

you can check spring bars website, but most of us are partial to Kodiak Canvas Bow Flex Tents. I don't know of to many people who have springbar's. They do make a lot of accessories for them though....

Thanks for the replies. I recently found a 10 x 14 Springbar tent in Beaufort,South Carolina.
It is an older model but in very good condition. I am going to take time and go to the Blue Ridge Mtns. soon so I can test it out.

Be interested in some pics and a report after first use.

Uh, Chinese Junk? If you mean big-box imports for under $50, so be it. May I show you a half-dozen 1/2-Grand high-end models from the People's Republik that excel in state-of-the-art features for half the weight of any old-school canvas tents you can shake a stick at? Thought so - Just sayin'!

I'm not getting into a pissing match about tent manufacturers. I did my research and the Springbar meets my requirements. Now if you will go to their website and watch a video a customer posted of his Springbar 10 x 14 standing up to a tornado and the tent wins. If any of your state-of-the-art features can do that then we may have a discussion,until then I have a Springbar and I'm stickin to it!!

He already found the tent he was looking for and bought it. I would still like to see some pics when it is put up and a trip report.
