so i worked on the wagotent tonight lol
i honestly had no idea what i was doing...just saw in my head how i wanted it and started cutting and what do you know it came out pretty good...still nowhere close to being finished but its looking somewhat like a tent...still have alot of sewing to do and need to make the legs. also need to get some foam and cloth to make the mattress but that will come after i finish making the tent.. i had wanted to get some thick wire to bend and make the tent bend outwards but i couldnt find any so its not as much room as i thought but still enough to stretch out.
the supplies:
old trampoline cloth-free(girlfriends daughters old broken trampoline)
dora the explorer tent-free(baby cousins broken tent)
sweing supplies-free(moms )
50 strong magnets-5.00 +3.00 shipping(ebay)
plywood-free(leftovers from my grandpas house)
so all in all ive spent 8.00 ill end up spending more cuz i need foam and other small things but its a rather cheap build
on to the pics
trying to figure out how to cut the cloth
my helper
got the front on and one side of it sewed down..also got the bottom of each side nailed to the plywood
there wont be so many magnets on each side when im done..ive already got the magnets sewed to the inside of the pink piece at the top to hold it in place..this tent deff wont be waterproof but it will keep bugs out
well thats where i ended tonight..still need to sew in some filler cloth and finish a few other spots but the outside is almost done
thanks everyone!
small update. Im in the process of moving me and my GF got a house together so the wagotent is put on hold. We have everything moved in the house but we still need to unpack so i will work on the tent as soon as i can.

you need wagon specific axles, the spline count is different in the wagon hubs compared to sedan/hatchbacks
You 100% sure on that one? o_O
Ive used 5 or 6 different ef ones .. from hatches to sedans
