Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

We are occasional (1-2x per year) car-campers with a decades-long history of doing this. As such, we've gone through a number of tents. What we are looking for in a tent is pretty specific. - It needs to fit at least 4 people (2 adults, 2 kids in the range of 8-13 years) comfortably. In reality, this means that a tent needs to be rated for 6 adults - Ideally. the tent can be set up and broken down by 1 adult or 1 adult + 1 child in no more than 15-20 minutes - The tent (including frame) must be sturdy and not deteriorate when in storage So after pitching it in my backyard, leaving it overnight, and breaking it up again, here's my assessment. POSITIVES: - After the first struggles of "which pole goes where", setting it up was easy and could be done by 1 adult if needed. Total first-time setup time was about 25 minutes. This means that next time, I can probably do it in about 15-20 minutes. - The design is good. It provides a separation of a "living"/"storage" space from the "sleeping" space. This is important if you want to keep your sleeping space relatively clean / dirt free. - The quality and assembly appeared to be good as well. The seams were waterproofed and the sown-in tarp goes up a few inches onto the wall, which will prevent rainwater entering the tent - Plenty of instructions. Sawn-in instructions in the storage bag on how to pitch the tent. Paper inserts on how to fold it. How to avoid moisture. Et cetera. - The window covered were well designed and can be stored in a pocket at the bottom of the window - It was easy to get the tent with all accessories back into the storage bag afterwards. No problems at all. - The rear (sleeping) space was large enough to fit 2 queen air mattresses. NEUTRAL: - It was hard to get the walls of the tent to be wrinkle-free. This is a cosmetic issue more than anything else. - It's definely a "car camping" tent. It's too heavy for backpacking. NEGATIVES: - The thick, yellow plastic tent pins came loose overnight. There was some wind (variable, less than 15 mph) overnight but nothing that would merit special caution. - The dark colored rain fly made it extremely hot in the tent during the day, in the sun, even with all windows opened. - Minor item - it lacks a hole to pull an electric cable through. Less important with the abundance of cheap portable chargers for our electronics, but still something we have used once in a while.
