I bought this Timberline 4 from a fellow member several years ago, really didn't need it, just wanted it and the price was quite fair. It's about 30 years old, still a good tent but rarely ever gets used. I said most of that to qualify the fact that I don't know a lot about it, so the question is, what is that thing on the vestibule that looks sorta like a short jacket sleeve? Might be handy to know some day.

Maxx,
You purchased that tent from me. I have missed the tent ever since. Let me know if you ever want to sell it. That was the second tent I ever owned. I have went through about a dozen since. Just can't find one that rugged, spacious and easy to set up. I hope that you have enjoyed it.

Silly question I'm sure, but why don't you just buy another one?"
I'm obviously not an expert but the word among people who are is that the newer models suffer greatly as to overall quality. People who are "Timberline guys" treasure the older ones.

I have a recent vintage (4-5 yrs old) TL4 outfitter that seems to be good quality. I've had two of the standard versions over the last 20 years and the outfitter is quite a step above or more.
