Let me give you another word of advice.

Get a cheaper tent to start, until you figure out if you actually like it or not.

I picked up several hundred dollars worth of camping gear in 2005, in preparation for my trip to MotoGP at Laguna Seca and Alaska. I used the camping gear ONCE, on the north rim of the Grand Canyon. One thing the brochure doesn't tell you is this. The ROMANCE of motorcycling camping is way better than actually doing it.

I'm fine with camping, but not when I'm on a motorcycle trip. After riding 500-600 miles in a day, I want a cold beer, a hot shower, and a warm bed. Lesson learned. I highly doubt I'll ever camp again on a moto-trip.
