My personal preference is a tent. There are a number of points that I believe the tent must meet based on some personal trial and error experiences.
- Calculate with the number of people you are camping with a +1 extra. Why? For the space to store all your luggage (for example, your helmet and suit). So if you are alone? Choose a 2-person tent. If you are together? Then take a 3-person tent;
- Choose the tent that is most comfortable for you physically. Both in terms of setting up and sleeping. For example, a spacious tunnel tent or a self-supporting dome tent.
- Pay attention to the weight of the tent. The heavier the tent, the more it affects the total weight of your luggage, and the more it affects the handling of the motorcycle.
Solo
My personal preference when I go camping alone ultimately fell on a tunnel tent from Nordisk (Halland 2 PU). The reason is a combination of weight (only 3 kilograms), quality, comfort for me as a small person, and the fact that the outer tent is set up first and then the inner tent. So if I have to set up the tent in the rain, the inner tent stays almost completely dry. Most tents have the system where you first set up the inner then and then the waterproof outer tent over it. When you set up in the rain, this often means that the floor of the inner tent gets wet. As a result, you often have to sleep in damp conditions.
Together
When my husband and I go on a trip together, we use a 3-person dome tent from Coleman. This offers a bit more comfort for my husband. This tent also has a dark inner tent, which is beneficial for my husband’s sleep. He can’t sleep well when it starts to get light. In terms of weight, this one is actually too heavy. Therefore, this tent will be replaced with an alternative in the future. But which one exactly we haven’t decided yet.
