Incredibly HUGE
I got this tent yesterday and went stir crazy until I gave in and set it up. It was a bit of a challenge getting the base staked down, but didn't take too long. When it was up my brother-in-law came out and was blown away at the look and the size of it. I'll be towing the tent in a trailer behind my bicycle and needed a tent big enough to stow all my gear, trailer and bicycle with plenty of sack space. This tent is spacious to the extreme for my needs.
During the night we had a thunderstorm move in. In the high desert when it does rain it seems like it's trying to make up for the lack of rain in as little time as possible. It was raining so hard it woke me up, that is a feat in and of itself... At first I thought the floor was wet, but it turned out to be the reflection of the slightly shiny floor. It was bone dry and the walls showed absolutely no signs of condensation or moisture. The rain was so hard that a flash flood warning was issued. The seams are well sealed as is the body and floor. The people that said their tents were not waterproofed must have got a bad one, most reviews on other sites state the quality of the tent and rarely complain about waterproofing.
Would I recommend this tent? In a heartbeat! It's huge inside, enough for at least 4 adult cots with gear easily. The lack of attachments for attic space can be remedied by hanging rods off the center pole, when I get mine made I'll post pics. In a jam, like an emergency you could probably fit 8 adults, but 3-4 comfortably.
I'll update after my 110 mile ride to Rachel Nevada to see Area 51 on the 20th.
