Small ventilator openings have flaps which can be lowered to dose the openings when a blackout condition exists or to keep dust, rain, and snow from inside the tent. A small ventilator screen in the front wall of the service section remains open when the tent is dosed for a blackout to provide a draft for proper ventilation of the interior. Each side wall and the front wall can be guyed out to form awnings. A screen wall, which snaps to the tent body, provides an insect proof enclosure when the walls are raised. The screen wall has a serving window screen in the front of the tent which can be opened and rolled up so that food can be transferred from a serving table to individual servings. 1-2
