How Well Does CVT Timber Creek Annex Hold Up In Wintery Conditions

Hi Robert! The CVT Timber Creek Annex # RG35ZV can be used in winter but it is not a four-season tent. It could handle light snow, but any heavy or wet snow would need to be cleared frequently to keep it from collapsing.

Also, it doesn't really offer much in the way of insulation, and with the way it connects to the vehicle you will likely end up with the cold making it's way in. I expect this to be true with pretty much any tent that has this kind of design, and as far as I know all of them have a three-season rating with winter excluded.

What kind of winter camping are you you planning on doing?

I'm planning on sleeping in my truck bed for hunting in mid-November. I've seen many ways to extend my truck bed, and like the idea of the annex. I'll have to figure something else out for hunting.

@RobertK if you're already planning on sleeping in the truck bed, I think the annex could work well as additional covered space for changing clothes, storing gear, or keeping muddy boots out of the weather during a hunting trip. Where it falls short is as a practical extension of the truck bed for sleeping/living space in colder November temperatures.

@RobinH thank you for your time. Your answer is kind of my thoughts too. I'm still mulling over getting an annex, this one seems to be in the lead though.
