I have used this tent twice now with my Dog camping in State Parks. The weather was 79 High and 55 Low. I had a heater in the tent to keep me warm as the sides are not windows but mesh. I did tie the Rain shield closely to the tent to reduce airflow moving across the tent and that helped a lot and kept the breeze down/air movement in the tent. The heater was only on low and came on intermittently and worked great for first thing in the morning when the day is it's coldest (usually). There was plenty of room for a queen size mattress, 2 small foot stools used as side tables for the bed and clothing in the bags. I did buy a 4X6 rug for $10 to sit off the bed and it was nice to sit on the floor, on the rug and be warm and change (the air mattress was uncomfortable to bounce around on too much). The tent is very easy to put up by your self. Just stake down the tent, put the poles in their "stirrup/holder" and it goes up easy with one person. It takes about 10 minutes total including a tarp underneath to set up and about 15 minutes to put away (need to be patient to get the air out of the tent so you can roll it up to fit in the bag. You need to wipe away any leaves and dirt as you roll up so you don't have to deal with that the next trip. Did well in rain, in wind at 20 mph. I would tent camp again with this tent. With a canopy, the folding table and the RV mat, you have one heck of a set up. Yes, I stay in Electric but I'm a girl and it's just safer in the electric area.TENT UPDATE: I took the tent out again this fall and had one of the poles break on me PRIOR to settting it up. I'm not sure how it split as I didn't notice the split when I took the tent down last fall. However, it could be how I packed the poles in the bag (which I keep the poles packed seperate from the actual fabric tent as I don't want tears in the material of the tent). I am keeping this tent despite looking at newer, larger tents. This one worked so why change it? The replacement pole was $10.00 at walmart and I have three more sections for emergency now. Love this tent!!

I needed a larger tent this year since my brother was coming with me on this years family camping trip. He is 6'4 and I am 5'9 so we both needed a nice large tent. This tent was great. Plenty of laying room for us and our bags. I had a little folding chair to lay on and that still left plenty of room. It had the divider flap in between so we could get some privacy on our own side when needed. I could almost stand up in it, not all the way but enough to pull my pants up without trouble. This tent could sleep I say three people with bags perfectly. Four people could fit but not as cozy. Easy to setup and the neat little light reflector does work if you have a good lamp. As for the zipper thing that people mentioned in the reviews, that is tactfully normal for most tents. You do need to take time unzipping but to be honest I had no trouble with that on this tent. The bottom is lined in case of rain too. I didn't get any rain on the camping trip but I am sure it will hold up fine.

First tent. Love it. I seem sealed it top to bottom before first used and it stood up to 2 hour pounding of massive T-storm with small hail in Shenandoah National Park on its maiden voyage. Takes about 15 minutes to setup yourself including the rainfly. I had no issues with the zippers even with two young kids. You just have to ensure you take your time and hold the flap back. The two-room curtain is a joke. I couldn't see ever using it unless you felt the need to change in the tent with kids or something, but most people would just ask the other person to step outside. The rainfly itself could be larger so that it covers more of the front door and rear window as it would be nice to leave these partially open for ventilation throughout the day; however, I found that we got some water in the door of the tent when unzipping -- of course we had one heck of a storm. For $100 it fully meets my expectations and I've used it now 4 times with no problems.

Nice looking tent and seems good quality for the under $80. I have only used in 60-80 degrees w/ no rain just morning dew and ventilation was good. The rain fly has a shinny back side that looks like sealed nylon and covers the side windows - I wish the side windows had a zip up cover to retain more heat on cold nights. The double front door may be good for splitting sides but each side seems more narrow and I as an adult I found it difficult sometimes to enter and exit - especially just as others have noted that the zipper frequently gets caught on the rain flap if not holding it away when zipping up or down.I slept in this w/ 2 sons and we had just enough space for a duffle bag at their heads and my side - I would not recommend for more than 3 people comfortably.

This tent is a good size for two people with lots of stuff - you could definitely fit one more adult or maybe two kids comfortably, depending on whether you're leaving your clothes and stuff in the car, or keeping it in the tent. It fits a queen air mattress with plenty of room to spare. It also did well in the rain for us (we used waterproofing spray on the exposed seams, so that might help). The only thing I will say is that the door can be a little awkward because it only opens in half on both sides - i.e. you can't open the whole thing, and sometimes the middle portion is a little annoying. It also helps to step on the bottom when you go to unzip, otherwise it doesn't unzip smoothly.

Only problem was the zipper catching on the sewn piece other wise plenty of room for 2. Cots and another adult but with a full and mid sized dogs it was perfect we still had room to move around. Easy to put up and take down we liked the open top and sides for air flow at night we have only used it 3 times I like to food it up and put it In the truck. When we get home set it back up clean and debris out and off let it air out and make sure it's dry then fold it and put it back in its bag. It fits our need

Camped for four days in this tent this summer. The tent is really very roomy, thought just too low for me to stand up in (5" 6') but does provide a great base camp. Rained heavily on one day and the tent did leak a little, but applying some seal seamer sorted that out. The tent took less than 15 minutes to erect the first time, so no complaints there. My only complaint is that the Middle pegs do stress the base of the tent a great deal and this seems to have been the cause of the leak (pre sealant application); that said, for the money I can't really fault it and will certainly be using it again over the summer months.

Used it 3 nights. 1st no rain, roomy and airey.2nd Night it rained and rained. Leaked around the seams so bought a seam sealer from Go Outdoors - Guess its an issue with all tents with seams. I reckon the cover that goes over the main tent isn't quite large enough to cover the vented areas so it it was windy and raining you might get wet!

Only a summer tent but good in size.

fantastic plenty of room and very easy to erect i would recommmend

Das Zelt haben wir für einen Roadtrip-Campingurlaub gekauft und ich muss sagen, dass unsere Erwartungen mehr als übertroffen wurden. Vor allem in Bezug auf die Wetterfestigkeit hatten wir am Anfang Skepsis. Aber nach mehreren Stunden Starkregen mit Wind/Sturm und Gewitter war das Innere des Zelts immer noch trocken. Man muss natürlich darauf aufpassen, dass nichts die Zeltwände berührt, da sonst das Wasser durchsickern kann.Auch sonst war das Zelt top. Aufgebaut und abgebaut war es innerhalb von wenigen Minuten, was für uns super war, da wir eine Rundreise gemacht haben und es deswegen 7-mal innerhalb von zwei Wochen auf- und abbauen mussten. Der einzige Nachteil waren die Heringe, da die sich sehr schnell verbogen haben, wenn der Boden mal etwas härter war. Beim Aufbauen ist darauf zu achten, dass die Reißverschlüsse ganz zu sind, da sonst ein zu großer Zug auf den Reißverschlüssen ist und dann kann man das Zelt nur schwer schließen. Auch beim Abbauen des Zelts muss man das Zelt richtig zusammenlegen, damit es wieder in die Tasche passt. Wenn man darauf achtet, dann hat man kein Problem mit dem Zusammenpacken und alles passt locker in die Tasche.Von der Größer her würde ich sagen, dass das Zelt perfekt für 4 Erwachsene geeignet ist, wenn man noch ein Teil des Gepäcks im Auto lagern kann. Angeblich sollen auch 5 Menschen Platz finden, aber das funktioniert glaube ich nur, wenn nicht jeder eine eigene Isomatte hat und man etwas Tetris spielt. Wir sind zu dritt gereist und haben auch Gebrauch von der Mittelwand gemacht. Die Mittelwand kann man mit Hilfe von vier Hacken im Zelt aufhängen, muss man aber nicht unbedingt tun. Auf der Seite wo zwei Leute geschlafen haben, war nicht mehr sehr viel Platz übrig und durch den Regen mussten wir dann auch darauf achten, dass nichts die Wände berührt. Große Rucksäcke oder Taschen hätten dort keinen Platz mehr gefunden. Auf der anderen Seite war natürlich noch mehr Platz und da konnte dann auch Gepäck gelagert werden. Zu der Größe ist noch zu sagen, dass das Zelt auch relativ hoch ist, wodurch das rein- und rausgehen sehr komfortabel ist.Ein Pluspunkt des Zeltes ist auch, dass es sehr luftig ist, da das Unterzelt aus großen Teilen aus Fliegengitter besteht. Dadurch wird es auch in der Mittagshitze nicht sehr stickig im Inneren und man hat nicht das Gefühl als wäre man in der Sauna. Trotzdem muss man keine Angst haben, dass es rein regnet.Auch sehr praktisch war das kleine Netz, welches man direkt unter das Zeltdach hängen kann, da man so einen Ort für z.B. Taschenlampen und Autoschlüssel hat, an dem die Sachen, auch in der Nacht, ohne Probleme wiedergefunden werden können.Würde ich noch einmal ein Zelt für eine Autotour mit 3-4 Personen kaufen müssen, würde ich es immer wieder kaufen.
