Redverz Tents

They look good, be it a bit big. You need a good few square meters to pitch one, which is not everywhere to be found. But is is nice to have your bike inside the tent.
I prefer smaller tents, ones that I also use for hiking and wildcamping. When motocamping I bring a bike cover or a tarp and some bungees to cover the bike and the space between the tent and the bike.
This being a forum with lots of, ehm, slightly older members, most will probably like a bigger tent like the Redverz. Can't blame them.

I don’t have one but a couple friends do, we were discussing it just last weekend. And yes it is a bit large but that’s good for two people. They like being able to stand up inside to dress. They don’t store their bikes in the “garage” area, instead it’s a sheltered area to sit out of lousy weather or store their riding gear.

With two of them they split up camping gear between them, so one person/bike doesn’t carry a large load.

I’ve seen the Redverz for sale used on various M/C marketplaces.

There is one for sale over on ADVRider. With a two week trip over the NEBDR coming up in June I thought about it for a hot minute, and then considered the weight and size, and opted for a Marmot Tungsten 1-Person tent, a fraction of the weight and size, and under $200. I'm hoping it works well for my purposes.

Yeah, I'm also looking at the Kelty Late Start II 2-person to have extra room for gear. Under $200 and lighter by far, but up here the NW, rain can happen all year long, and having no place to retreat to is a bitch. The vestibule of the Redverz would be a welcome place to hang and cook in bad weather (and you can stand up!). Still haven't decided tho'...

Not in the market for one but was just curious and saw this site with a few different brands that have space for parking the bike inside the tent.


one of the tents has what looks like a himalayan in it :)

Good read, thanks! I decided to go with a more traditional design - the Lone Rider ADV tent. A bit more $ than most backpacking tents, but well made, fits in RE panniers and plenty of room without having an enormous footprint. Has a large enough vestibule/awning to get out of the weather, too. As for the bike, one can always bring a tarp, paracord and stakes to create an emergency garage.

I know I’m old guy here but I really don’t need tent big and fancy. I bought a simple light weight good qwaulty two man tent from REI at one of their 50% off sales, “yes I’m a cheap date“ and the tent has served me well for twenty years and still going. I like to keep things on the light weight and simple side. I always keep my tent, sleeping bag, and Term-a-Rest LuxuryLite Mesh Cot all in a duffel bag ready to Rok-Strap on the back of the bike at anytime I feel the need. Yes I said Term-a-Rest LuxuryLite Mesh Cot, here is where I don’t skimp in my camping gear.
