Goose camping system: reviews?

[OldMcClelland]

Has anyone used the Goose or Toucan camping system from Wingman of the Road?

Looks to be an all-in-one one person tent that has a big awning flap to cover the motorcycle as well. Canvas material, so it doesn’t look light.

too expensive and no room , not for me

I'm skeptical of camping gear made of canvas. Perhaps if you are going around the world, using it daily in sunny locals that material makes more sense than nylon, which is subject to UV degradation.

I just looked at them. I will take my two person backpacking tent and a bike cover any day. Less weight and probably the same amount of space. If you are staying in an established campground with a designated site, or a National Park Campground, they will not let you park the bike next to your tent. They must stay on the parking pad.

yeah.... the all in one thing is kinda cool but you get what you get... very little modifications whereas if you pick a tent you want and pad and misc stuff you can modify as you camp and perfect your camping approach... the canvas stuff I don't have any experience with.

My all-in-one camping set ups these days begins with "Hello, this is Comfort Inn, how can we help you?" All-in one includes a bed, shower, toilet, heat/air conditioning, TV, electricity and usually a free breakfast.

Canvas tents are still around heavy and work great. That being said my concern would be my bike falling on me while I slept. LOL It does have merit.

Check with @Nashcat - I know he has a tent that you stand up in and IIRC park your bike in it.

I've seen several variations of the Lone Rider one (~$400 or so?) that includes what they call a "bike garage." And I've seen bunches of riders who would fear sleeping in the tent, for the possibility of a few-hundred-pounds bike falling on them as they slumber. Lots of room for your riding gear, though.

Oops! Try $600!

Yep, 2 of them. Here’s the large one. The smaller one has the same “garage”, but smaller sleeping area.

Pfffttt.
The GSA won't even know it's there.
(Still, I doubt that I will buy one.)

If the USMC has moved on, canvas tents are primitive, prehistoric, moldy antiques...

What is cooler is the bike appears to be floating above the floor. Let's see your bike do that!

WHY does that tent weigh 8.5 lbs??? No way.....

No big deal........

It’s getting warmer, so I need get my tents set up in the yard to check everything out, before I get to a campground.

The best feature, for me, on either Redverse is having my folding chair in the garage. When I get up, I can stand up to move around or sit in the chair to put on boots, without ever going outside the tent. I also sit in the garage and make coffee with the jetboil stove.

The bigger Redverse does weigh 15 lbs, the equivalent of 3 six-packs. But, I’ve also lost 15 lbs in the last year, so there’s the trade off.

That centerstand sure does hang low, doesn't it?
