Product Description

Sleep 5 to 6 people comfortably in this 100 sq. ft. tent and still have room to spare! This cabin style tent provides much more usable interior space than typical dome style tents. Straight walls offer more head room and allow campers to push cots and gear closer to the walls and out of the way. Large, side-opening, twin-track D-style door features #8 zippers for durability and zipper covers for added water protection. 4 large zippered windows open for excellent visibility and air flow and close for privacy. Extra weatherproof design features a 75D polyester taffeta bathtub floor that wraps up the sides of the tent, keeping seams high above the ground and water out. Additional features include steel and fiberglass poles for durability and pole sleeves, frame clips and ring and pin assemblies make set up a snap. Nickel sliders and self-healing zippers will provide years of trouble-free use and factory-taped major seams help to seal out the weather. Special touches like the E! Power Port for an extension cord (not included) and a handy sweep-out point make this tent extra friendly for those campers who want some of the conveniences of home.

Great tent!

Review Date: February 12, 2008

Reviewer: L. Shell,

This tent exceeded every expectation I had. I was skeptical of only having a stake at each corner, but when properly set up the tent is extremely stable. The steel and fiberglass poles are all heavy duty and the set up is easy with 2 people (only took 10-15 min. without instructions). The rainfly is easily assembled and appears to cover all the mesh. It did not rain on our trip. The nylon seems to be of good quality and the stitching is heavy duty and taped.

The interior is very efficient thanks to the near vertical walls. I would expect to be comfortable with up to 4 people (we were only 2). We really liked the all mesh roof which is great for stargazing and ventilation. We also liked the large mesh windows that can be zipped for privacy. There are large windows on each wall. Everyone else in our group seemed to admire this tent and a few expressed interest in getting one.

The weather was dry and windy the first day. We had gusts up to about 30 mph. and the tent never budged. I suspect the rainfly had a lot to do for the stability as the guy wires anchor close to the support poles.

Overall I love this tent and find it hard to believe that anyone would dislike it. This tent is not designed to handle extreme wind, but anyone with common sense knows you shouldn't use a cabin tent if you expect violent weather.

Tips: 1)Always place a waterproof tarp under your tent.
2)The stakes that come with this tent are subpar. Get some inexpensive steel stakes.

Great family tent

Reviewer: Joe Camper,

I like this tent so much, I'm actually taking the time to write this review (which I never do for anything). I'd call this the Toyota of tents (well built, reliable, inexpensive). First the setup was incredibly easy. I did it myself, and it took me about 10 minutes for the tent itself, maybe another 5 for the fly, and 5 more for the guyout lines. We set up the inside with a queen air mattress and two single air mattresses and there was still about a 6 x 6 foot area for our gear. It was windy, and rained a bit on our trip, but the tent held up quite well. It stayed completely dry. The winds were about 20-30 mph, and the walls did move in and out maybe about 6 inches each way, which is pretty darn good for a straight wall tent. Here's a few pros and cons:

Pros: Easy setup, easy takedown (fits easily back into the bag), good ventilation (completely mesh screened roof and 4 huge closeable windows), all vital seams are taped. The metal poles are steel cable corded (not chain like the tent description says) which I think is good.

Cons: The bag it comes in is made of the same material as the tent. I wish they had used something a little thicker and stronger because I'm not sure how long the bag will hold up. There are no side pockets inside the tent, only the gear loft that hangs up top. As most other reviews have said, the door zipper gets stuck on the waterproofing flap. This makes it almost impossible to open with just one hand. The stakes that come with the tent are pretty much useless.

Tips: When setting up and taking down the tent, the stakes should be the first and last thing installed and removed. I learned the hard way taking it down, I took the stakes out before the poles, and wound up chasing the tent through the forest when I light breeze picked it up and tossed it. Also buy some real stakes for the tent and ALWAYS use the guyout lines, they are a necessity with this tent even in light winds.

Conclusion: Buy it! You can't do any better for this size in this price range.

Awesome tent for its intended purpose.

This tent is easy to assemble, has quality components and won't break your bank. This is not a backpacking tent. It is heavy and comes in a large/roomy bag. The tent's features are adequate. We use it in the Adirondack mountains where it is woodsy and remote. We enjoy sleeping on a cot instead of the ground and this is the perfect tent for that. We put silicon on it and seam sealer on the seams (we do with all our tents). we are dry and warm. It is large enough for 4 or so, but if you're cot campers, stick with three people and your gear, you'll be more comfortable.
Some comments suggest a flimsy tent...they did something wrong. Yes, the semi-straight walls will catch the wind, so be thoughtful. This tent is perfect for the three season tenter.
Use caution when using a cot on soft ground. You could damage the floor.
Happy camping!

Seen em all This is the Best!

This Tent is the perfect size,shape,weight for a great camping experience. I've put it up and taken down many times by myself with no problems. The square style adds to the easy setup and provides nice room for plenty of gear and a big bed. Windows are big allowing plenty of light. A sales person(kid) tried to talk me out this type by indicating it's only perceived fault which is that rain could get in due to the small overhang over the windows. My experience in an actually downpour was to...close the windows! No problem. I anally reviewed many tents and companies and am 100% satisfied I have the ultimate tent!! The Eureka Designer who came up with this should be promoted. It was well thought out for assembly, strength, room and portability.

High Marks for Copper Canyon

A great tent! Used a queen size, double decker, blowup, mattress and had plenty of room on either side to walk, etc. Loved the height of the tent! Super, quick, setup! Sturdy construction ... withstood a thunderstorm! A quality product! Very pleased with the decision to purchase this tent!
