this is my second tent, my first was a Hilary 3 room tent lasted almost 10 years of camping. this is a great second tent, very spacious, id say 4adults would fit with 4 air-mattresses, 8 without the mattresses just sleeping bags. perfect for three people or three couples who want there privacy. bigger than one might think, i am 5'7 and i hardly need to bend to get in. will take some time to set-up, and dis-assemble, but the out come is well worth it.

I love this tent

This is also my second tent - and we love it. I'll start with my only negative comment: It took us a few tries to get it really set up right. I blame this on very poor directions and our inexperience. However, my husband and I have it down to about 30 minutes to unpack and set up now. It's very spacious - although I bet some people may be upset that a queen size air mattress will NOT fit in either of the side "rooms" although it does fit nicely in the middle room and twin size fits with extra space in the side rooms. My husband is 6'9" tall and he feels like the tent is roomy - and can even stand in the center of the tent. And do not discount the screen porch! That space is wonderful for a couple of chairs, providing shade on a hot summers day. We typically camp in high wind beach areas and the tent is sturdy and has never failed us. With the window shades rolled up the screens provide plenty of ventilation as well. We love this tent - well worth 5 stars.

Big tent - nice features

Reviewer: D. Hommes,

This is our first tent, and I am pleased with the purchase. We set it up and took it down twice today, just to learn how to do it. The tent is very large, but as a previous reviewer mentioned it is not 17x12. I'd say it's about 17x7 or 17x8, and then the screen room makes the additional width. Nevertheless, it's still very large, easily accomodating my family of 9 (2 adults, 7 children). The screen room will be a very handy place to leave our shoes as we enter the tent and will provide some additional shade or keep us (and the tent) dry as we go in or out in the rain.

It was easy to set up even though the instructions were a bit vague. Using some common sense we got it up the first time in 40 minutes, and the second time it took us only 25 minutes. It took us two trys to fold it up so that it fit in the bag again, but we got it!

There are some nice features. The tent is very tall inside, which is good since I'm 6'4". I do not have to duck in the tent. Also, in the middle of the center room ceiling is a hook to hang a light or a fan. There are three mesh pockets, one in each room.

The tent is attractive and appears well constructed. We'll review again after the first time we actually camp in it.

Reviewer: Steve Armstrong,

Love the tent! It was pouring the first day we used it and it held up soooooo well! We were dry! The only bad thing was that the carrying bag for the tent, fell apart on us. I guess it didn't have good stitching on it or something. So we are left without a bag for our tent :(

nice tent, holds up in weather

I set this tent up to seal the seams, and as soon as it was dry I was going to take it down. As soon as it was set up, it began to rain before I could put the sealer on. It rained for the next 5 days. After 5 straight days of high wind and heavy rain, the tent was still dry inside. It's great, roomy, love the porch, and would recommend this tent. Set up was relatively easy (I am an experienced camper), but I instructions on how to fold it back up to get in the bag!!

Great tent.
