    I have a Hilleberg Akto tent for sale. It has been used only one night. The only problem that I have had and the reason to sell it is that I am a little over 6 feet tall and when I sit up to read my head brushes up against the roof. Maybe it is just a personal thing but I need a little more headroom.

    The tent come with a new fitted groundsheet and a Fibraplex carbonfiber pole in addition to the regular one.

    Tent $345 + $45 for the pole and $36 for floorsheet and last but not least Aircore Pro Dyneema Guyline Cord set $18
    = $300 including shipping

    The Akto tent is red. The inner tent is a darker yellow, almost gold color. The weights with the carbonfiber pole and guyline kite makes it about 4 ounces lighter than listed Hilleberg weights.

    thanks for the interest, Randy
