I have 2 pages on this topic in my web site,
http://www.geocities.com/beverly-m/ . They are the
second and third ones in the e-mail/stories box. 

I use a Kelty V2, now slightly modified and
renamed the Vortex 2. It's available through Campmor,
on-line, but the price on the last years version is
much better in the store. It is close enough to free
standing that a few cords can hold the fly out away
from the tent even if you are on solid rock. The dual
vestibules are just big enough to be usefull and it's
held up to everything nature has thrown at it so far.

I use a Kelty Noah's Tarp 12 for living space outside
the tent. It has some extra ties in handy places for
those campsites with awkwardly placed trees. It's
thinner and lighter than most and the light grey color
lets some light in on those dark rainy days.

I'm not a big Kelty fan but those items fit my needs
exactly and at a good price.
