7-inch solar panel on top of the tent, rope lights inside for your viewing pleasure.

4 or 6 person; also a solar-powered screen house.

Big Deal! I've got a solar-heated CAR. (Of course, it only worked during the day....)

The tent in that picture has a vented ceiling and an inadequate rain fly. Dust will blow right into it.

Wow! It looks _totally_ unuseable, but totally geeky.

Look at the photo of the guy standing beside it and tell me how you get anything in the tent! Sheesh! Room for one skinny d00d.
