Great Tent Tons of Space 
Posted by Chris on 11th Aug 2012
My family just gave this tent a test drive for 5 days in Rhode Island and we love it! It has sooo much space. The sleeping area can easily hold our 2 Coleman 4-1 blow up mattresses! Kids on one side parents on the other. The "sleeping tent" attaches inside the big tent. So, it is a tent within another tent. This helps with dirt and bugs not getting into your sleeping area. The sleeping area could easliy hold 6 adults and the living area could hold at least another 6 adults.
The "living area" is a great concept. Most people go out and buy two tents, one for sleeping and one for eating this is no longer necessary. We used it to store our gear, toys included, change, you name it. No more moving around the mattresses. The air circulation is great.I will bring a small card table for inside next time.
The front porch is a great addition. It's nice to keep the rain out of the tent when you are trying to go in and out during a storm.
The floor construction is like an extremely strong, rip-stop, tarp material. It comes up a good 6" all around the inner sleeping tent and outer "Fly" or living area. If you do setup and a flash flood comes your way, this thing will protect you.
We did experience a pretty good rain one night. I was concerned about the top vents and water entering.(Image 10 above) But in the morning, there was no water at all. The "cover" over each vent seemed to collect some water and help seal the vents from rain. In the morning, we just pushed them up and got the water off the top of the vent cover.
This tent turns heads! We had people stopping by and asking questions, even taking pictures! This is not your typical tent in the United States. It is big approx 13'x20" so make sure your camp site can handle a tent of this size. The reason why I gave it a 4 out of 5 is because there were a few sewing errors, nothing that I couldn't live with and nothing that would effect the integrity of the actual tent. Also, I have not giving it an "extreme weather test" yet. You know the type where your tent is the only one standing after a big storm and everyone else is sleeping in their cars. I will keep you posted. I have one more big trip coming up. Thank you CEC! I am extremely pleased in your product.
