Wouldn't dream of swapping the polycotton to polyester!
What about getting a poly day tent/utility for the extra space?

Me neither....
There are some great Utility tents out there. When we take our smaller tent we use a tarp and keep all the kitchen stuff outside

Swapping a Bear Lake for a Florida?? That would have to be a big fat no from me. Why not buy the side extension for the Bear?? I have walked aroung the Florida, and you would be taking a huge step backwards IMO. Bit like swapping an Audi for a Lada!!!

Don't do it, the heat and noise will drive you mad, you have been spoiled with your cotton but your decision of course.------------- Always make the effort, life is too short.
