have had this tent for summer now and love it, more space that you know what too do with. Needed to find a little space for two adults and a 5 year old plus the two 65 pound dogs. there is lots of space good hieght and stoage. The only thing with this tent that has given any trouble was ending up in small sites that lack room between the trees for set-up, also wouldn't want too be cought in a early snow as the top has a large very low pitch area.
Overall very pleased, even after passing along the 3 man MSR Mutha Hubha, which was great as well.
I love your reviews.
But the ads are annoying. The ad is playing away, while the person reviewing said product is talking away in the background. Please fix this. Have the ad play, then start the video review once it has ended. Thanks!
