FANTASTIC TENT FOR FAMILIES
I'M A REGULAR CAMPER (30 YEARS AND MORE) AND WE BOUGHT THIS TENT LAST YEAR FOR THE FAMILY. IT WORKS GREAT...WE HAVE 4 KIDS AND ITS BIG ENOUGH FOR ALL OF US WITH SOME ROOM TO SPARE. WE PUT AIR MATTRESSES IN EACH OF THE SIDE ROOMS AND THE KIDS DOUBLE UP 2 TO A SIDE. WE PUT A SLEEPING BAG INSIDE - UP ON THE FLOOR IN THE MIDDLE ROOM LIKE A CARPET (IN CASE SOMEONE CRAWLS OUT OF THE SLEEPING BAG DURING THE NIGHT). YES, IF IT RAINS YOU GET SOME WATER, BUT ONLY WHERE SOMETHING TOUCHES THE SIDES - THAT'S TYPICAL ON ANY TENT. OUR ONLY COMPLAINT WOULD BE THE ZIPPERS..THEY RUN TOP TO BOTTOM,THEY SHOULD GO BOTTOM TO TOP . THE SET UP IS NOT THAT COMPLICATED - IT DOES GET EASIER WHEN YOU'VE DONE IT A FEW TIMES.SO IS THE PACKING UP. WE CAMP SPRING, SUMMER AND FALL - WE'RE ON OUR SECOND SEASON WITH IT AND SO FAR VERY HAPPY. ITS A GREAT TENT. A LITTLE PRICY - BUT WORTH IT.
Soaked in Big Sur!
I have purchased many Eddie Bauer products in the past and I have been pleased until now. I am very disappointed with this product and will never stray from Coleman again. Some of the reasons I picked this item was because of the price and features, such as the gear lofts. However after putting just one item within it, it broke. The zippers, mainly on the front door were continously getting stuck in several spots all the way around which was pretty aggravating. Although the forecast for our camping weekend was supposed to be dry until after we left we did put on the rain flaps just in case, but to no avail because it suddenly started raining and did so for the next eight hours straight and it leaked like a siv almost the entire time! There wasn't one dry spot to be found inside this tent just four hours into the rain. It made for a cold, wet and miserable camping trip. Another very important point, and just to note that this was not an isolated incident, is that we were camping with three families between two campsites and one of the families had a tent identical to ours as well as using it for the first time, they experinced IDENTICAL problems! They threw theirs out the next day, I just wish I could get my money back.
Dependable Tent!
This tent did the trick! We took a couple of trips this summer and the tent is easy to set-up, and did not leak in (light) rain. I'm not a die-hard camper, so I wouldn't know how this tent compares to more expensive ones. With all of our gear, it fit 2 adults and 2 kids pretty comfortably--any more gear or people would have been too crowded. Good value for the $.
Strudy Tent
An incredibly sturdy tent! The first time we used this tent, it survived a severe thunderstorm and tornado. Where other tents could have blown over or the have the poles bent, this tent stayed intact throughout an entire night of violent storms. The only drawback was that the seams leaked a little from the horizontal rain, but during a lighter rain, it kept us dry. This tent is easy to put together and roomy, we slept 3 adults plus all our provisions. The tent gets great ventilation and has lots of storage space. It is a great deal for the price.
Great Times, Great Tent
My husband bought this tent for our first camping trip. While he started the fire, I set up the tent. It was soo easy. It is large enough for three adults, but two adults and a kiddo allows for breathing room. It was well worth our money and I am looking forward to future trips.
