Thule Tepui Weatherhood for Ayer

Nice item. I combined this with the Tepui insulator for a great 4-season upgrade for my "vintage" (about 10 years now, I think)3 person Autana. I have used this thing in some pretty severe weather already, mostly spring (late winter, really) camping on Alaskan beaches. This cover makes for a really great extra layer of insulation on cold, windy nights.The best suggestion I have is that you set this up at home before you take it out. Match it up with some decent bungee cords that are the right length and tension to keep the cover taught but not so tight they do damage to the grommets. Also, be aware that you will probably need to bring a ladder so you can get this thing up and over, especially if bad weather (i.e. high winds) sneaks up on you. I carry one anyway, a collapsible one similar to the one that comes with the tent. Very handy.Oh... and as with almost any tent fly, it's a good idea to go over any stitched seams with seam sealer BEFORE you take it out the first time and get it all wet/sandy/muddy.All in all, I am very pleased with my purchase.

Worked well, kept me dry all weekend, cover did eventually get saturated but it only transferred the water to the bottom edge of the tent. The rest of the tent remained dry. I left the rain fly on and just put this right over top like an air conditioner cover.
