This tent looks like one of those floppy things with flexible rods that
coil for storage and then spring out when released from the bag.  So the
whole thing might be flexible enough to maneuver into an elongated shape
and stow through a hatch opening.  
	Maybe more importantly, it doesn't look like it would be very sturdy in
wind.  You might wake up with the tent wall being blown down on your face.
