Shelter system

A shelter system, comprising:

• a collapsible shelter comprising:
• a number of vertical support legs extending substantially perpendicular to a collapsible truss section interconnecting the number of vertical support legs;
• a foot plate at a distal end of a first vertical support leg from the collapsible truss section;
• a canopy secured at a first end of each of the number of vertical support legs distal to the collapsible truss section by an integrated retention plate portion of the canopy that is configured to releasably engage between the foot plate and a ground surface, wherein the canopy includes:
• an arcuate interface substantially parallel to the number of vertical support legs and spanning continuously along the entire length of the number of vertical support legs;
• and
• a first plurality of releasable engagement mechanisms collectively spanning continuously along the entire length of the arcuate interface;
• and
• a connection member, releasably engageable, via a second plurality of releasable engagement mechanisms complementary to the first plurality of releasable engagement mechanisms, continuously along the arcuate interface of the canopy substantially parallel to the number of vertical support legs, providing a connection to a separate self-supporting tent structure, wherein the connection member includes a tent flysheet that is distinct from and outside of a fabric shell of the self-supporting tent structure, and wherein the tent flysheet is configured to fully cover a top of the self-supporting tent structure and to encompass a plurality of sides of the self-supporting tent structure.

A shelter system comprising:

• a canopy comprising:
• a base portion configured to be supported by a collapsible frame including a number of vertical support legs extending substantially perpendicular to a collapsible truss interconnecting the number of vertical support legs,
• a foot plate at a distal end of a first vertical support;
• an interface configured to releasably engage a connection member, wherein the interface spans within a vertical plane substantially parallel to the number of vertical support legs;
• and
• an integrated retention plate portion of the canopy that is configured to releasably engage between the foot plate at a distal end of a first vertical support leg and a ground surface;
• and
• the connection member comprising:
• a flysheet portion, distinct from and outside of a fabric shell of a self-supporting tent structure separate from the shelter, configured to fully cover a top of the self-supporting tent structure and to encompass a portion of each of a plurality of sides of the self-supporting tent structure, and
• an extension portion configured to releasably engage the interface by engaging with the entire interface within the vertical plane substantially parallel to an entire length of the number of vertical support legs.
