After a quite weighty and great friend has a compact deck of similar design, I wanted to have one too. However, I am only 1,70m tall. The lying surface is top, the bed is reasonably comfortable to assemble and disassemble again and everything makes a very soild impression. But how the hell do you want to take this thing anywhere?!?! Thats just huge and heavy! My backpack is just a bit bigger. For's Camping is more than too much! I know that much more compact and I will look for another model that can be driven not only by car to the camping site ...
