We thought about the plus, but did not want the even bigger size and weight, also we have a Big Angnes 4 person dome tent that has what they call a garage as part of the rain fly, and we have had trouble finding room for the 8x16 footprint in some campgrounds. I have to admit its nice to have the extra dry space to sit under or stash gear in bad weather, I just wish they made them so you could unzip and remove the extra portion when not needed. For now we are going to install a 8x8 ARB awning on the Jeep and huddle under that for rainy dinners, may even splurge on a couple of walls for sideways rain..lol Currently trying to figure out what we would get for a different overland vehicle as the old WJ just isn't suited for long distance driving, has limited space for gear and we don't want to pinstripe the Ram or Commander. Once a different rig has been selected, we will evaluate and decide what type of sleeping accommodations will work best (inside, ground tent, roof tent or trailer) .. always compromises@OTH Overland, your fowl weather comment is why we opted for the T4 Plus. We put a Liftime table along one interior wall of the Screen Room, and we plan on putting a cot or two for a sitting bench along the walls for those late night dinners, or fowl weather camp days.
