<< Page 3 lists The Litehouse tent. 32.4 CUBIC feet with fly. Boy, do
they ever need a proofreader. ;-) The erroneous data is written thrice. >>
On the other hand, I believe they are probably correct. The tent is a semi-
pyramidical dome tent, measuring 57" x 93" x 36" x 93" x a height of 38". If
this were a pyramid, the volume would be 1/3 the base x height. The base is a
little less that 4,320 square inches or 30 square feet. The heigth is about 3
feet in the center.
30 x 3 x 1/3 = 30 cubic feet. If we allow for the roundess of the dome like
shape it comes out to about what they say: 32.4 cubic feet.
