I have not been able to find a tent made by playmobil that fits a western theme. Odd as it may be considering that when new towns would pop up or during the gold rush a lot of people called tents their home.
If someone has made a custom tent, I am thinking canvas with two poles, one at either end. But would like to use actual playmobil parts if possible.
Thank you in advance.

I think I know the style you mean but there really hasn't been one. The oldest harder plastic tents were somewhat like that but in a style more from the 1950s to 1970s.
The only one currently available would be the pup tent type, but you would need to paint or remove the zipper print to make it period appropriate. Playmodb set list (http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/your_set_list.pl?setlist=5438%2C9153%2C6888)

Tim,
Thank you for that, I will look into it. I know that the western theme has seem to gone again to the way side for Playmobil, but maybe with all the new western movies (the hateful eight) and tv series (Hell of Wheels) there may be a revived interest. I would love to see a revised version of 3747 with a canvas tent ( same fabric they use for the sails of playmobil ships would be nice, plus they would have to make it a replacement part and oh how I would purchase so many of them).

OT: I didn't see the movie, but the series went past boring. Quit watching last year. And that is a very rare thing. But I endured over one season hoping it would be good again and... nothing.
As to the tents... I know there are spanish members that make nice "military" tents...

A non-klicky version of 3747 is being released as a direct-service add-on in 2017.
