It's still going to be winter here in WI for a while but I'm itching to go camping. Can someone please tell me what the low temp limit is to safely set up and take down the canvas/window material of my QS 8.0? I have no problem being out below freezing but I'm not willing to ruin the camper to do it.

Hi Deb,
I actually fired off an email to our current tent manufacturer to get that answer. I will let you know as soon as I hear back.

Any news on this yet?

Deb,
I got the following reply from our supplier:
"We received a response from our supplier. The material passed a cold impact test. The test was done at -20 for fifteen minutes. I would say that common sense would need to come in to play when attempting to camp in these type of conditions."

I'm pretty sure I'm not going camping at -20 degrees but this doesn't really help me to know if it's safe for my canvas and window materials to be set up and folded down in 40+ degree temps.

I have camped numerous times in my QS6.0 at temperatures around 30. I have never noticed any problems with tent or cover. Cover is slightly stiffer and difficult to snap but could be my cold fingers.

40+ is not what I would consider that cold. I am sure that is fairly common. You mentioned Winter in Wisconsin to me that meant well below freezing.
It is has been tested to -20 I would think 40+ is not a problem.
