Personaly I use white because thats the way it came when I bought it from Sam's Club. I am looking at getting a new lettered tent and that will be Royal Blue. :)

Picked mine upt at SportsAuthority during their going-out-of-business sale. Spent around $70.00 for a green 10x10. Even when/if I use my tent for WSR, I still use my nady UV blockers. I like Delta's with the suction cups on the four corners.

Hey dgarza, I got my Caravan at Costco For Two Bills. The thing comes with walls in white only :( . If you go online to their web site the price is 250.00 if my memory serves correctly and more for colored tops, graphics, Etc... Take a look at the post on pics tents and canopies a few pages back. (I really like the Opti Kleer set up!!) Generator, lights, and displayed repairs etc, very professional looking!
I don't like setting and waiting for business to come in when I set up a ws clinic so I usually try to have a ws or two ready to repair shortly after setting up to kinda break the ice. Nobody wants to be first it seems but when I have one under the tent they can seem to flock in at times!! :D$ I say under because I do try to use the thing to shade my work when the sun or rain is a problem!! I am doing the Coitster method also the folks in the UK, Opti Kleer, has a signature on his posts "Dont stand there waiting for your boat to come in. Swim out and meet the bloody thing!" Another way of describing the now renouned Coitster method of sales!! No offense Dave 8) happy repairing Scott:~)
My best mentor one said " be fair with your priceing but never too low, be honest with your customer/competition, when the day is done be sure you have done "good works", and always leave something of value on the barganing table!!

While my friend and trainer/ mentor Ray has moved on, his words live.
