    I have a portable clear windshield I strap up if very cold or rainy, otherwise no windshield. Visibility is decreeased but it breaks the wind and keeps the rain off. Think I paid $40 on amazon. Only use it a couple times a year if that. Carry it in a trunk in the bed. I built my own roof with enough front over hang that it works as a visor 90% of the time.

    3 is not horrible. Just put the cots in a u shape. Works fine for me with 1 XL and 2 reg sized cots. I have one set of disco bunk bed cots now and am contemplating another set so that 4 people would be possible and still keep a lot of floor space.

     

    I recommend the awning enclosure for the 12x9. I dont put the awning up every trip but it comes in handy if the bugs are bad, as a cook area, gear/mud room, or additional sleeping space if needed.

    Ive had the 12x9 kodiak cabin for 5 years now I think. A little more time consuming to put up (20-25 mins solo) but u get the awning and if u get the enclosure u have a bonus room. A couple minor issues with poles that with replacements sent immediately free. Not selling but recommend kodiak.

    So I called Toyo directly to see what advice they could give. One of the first questions asked by the was what psi I was running my current tires. I told her and she did some math and stated I was running too high psi for what my axels are load rated for. She gave me the proper psi based on my veh specs. Ill admit she was getting above my pay grade on the explanation... She admitted that it might not effect towing but my numbers were definitely off. And she gave a couple alternatives for slightly lighter/narrower tires but not lots of options because my rims are 9.5 wide.

    Glad the question was productive with some jokes mixed in. Ive taken note of all the things thrown out there and will look into. Ill get regearing priced but not sure thats gonna be possible $ wise right away. Also looking at lighter weight tire options in the mean time. I have the Toyo ATs and like them so will likely stick with what they offer. Not sure I like the idea of the look of a 33ish tire on my setup but will consider.

    In need of new tires this summer and wondering if a change in tire would make any difference towing? Ive done the 35s the last 2 sets and willing to consider something else if it would help. Certain hills up north it bogs down to barely 40 mph and really struggles just towing my ranger, has over heated my transmission twice before getting tranny cooler. Its been suggested to me that is what to expect with big heavy tires.
