Canvas vs Synthetic fabric tents
Honestly, the days of the traditional canvas tent are pretty much over
Really military style cotton canvas is significantly heavier and water-retentive than synthetic fabric (the Gobi tent is made of polyester)
While canvas may last longer (with appropriate care) than synthetic fabric, polyester is much lighter in weight - which you will come to appreciate with CEC tents as we only supply LARGE family camping tents
However with appropriate care, synthetic fabric can last for years and provide you with a lot of quality use
Synthetic fabric is naturally water repellent and CEC rain fly's (the outer most layer of our tents) also include a polyurethane coating (PU) in addition to PU seam taping for added water proofness
If you have other questions about canvas versus synthetic fabric tents, please let me know

My wife and I are looking into a new tent, and I'm leaning towards this Gobi 6 man tent I see on your site. I'm a bit of a tent snob and I only want a canvas tent because I've always had MUCH better luck in bad weather with canvas. However, I'm not sure the Gobi tent I'm looking at is canvas. Is it? If not, whats the material? I REALLY want canvas, but I also love the deisgn of that Gobi tent, so I guess what I'm saying is that if you can lower my own snobbery level and convince me that the material will work just as well as canvas, I'll still get it. thanks!

Overseas Shipping
Hi Rein, thanks for your email
We can ship anywhere from the USA but please note that shipping is likely to be quite expensive - probably more than the cost of the tent itself!
However, if you are still interested, then please forward your email address and I'll try to get the most economical shipping quote for you
Best Regards,
Best Regards,
Andrew

I live in Stockholm in Sweden and am looking for Icarus 9 tent, but with no luck. So do you have a dealer in europe or a US dealer that ships outside of US? Maybe from you? If you can help me out then that would B great, and I'll be probably the first one in Sweden with this kind of tent and that would B really awesome!! ..Thanx..//RLThe Camping Equipment Company: USA

Why have a removable floor in your tent?

To prevent water ingress, ensure that the floor is properly staked down, fitted to the floor area and snug against the rain fly
If this is of concern, there are other models such as the Gobi, Icarus or Mars that have a fully sewn in tub style floor that resolves this issue
The reason people choose the Como style (BIG Family Tents) is because they can easily disassemble the tent and clean it - below is a customer review taken from our site:
Equinox 8 Man Family Camping TentHello,I just received your Equinox tent via UPS yesterday...and I have a COMPLAINT! Why don't you folks have a customer review section on your website?! Hell, I would've bought this tent months ago if I had any idea that these are such great tents.I set up the tent as soon as it showed up, by myself. I was amazed at how easy it was to put up. As I was doing this, I was checking the stitching and the seam taping; top notch. The layout of the tent has to be one of the best on the market. Bathtub floor on the sleeping rooms. Main tent "floorless", which allows me to stake down a tarp for a floor which makes getting the dirt out a heck of a lot easier than a "floored" tent.Guys, get a "review" section going and you will sell a lo! t more tents... I work in a sporting goods store and sell Columbia, Coleman, Eureka!, Mountain Hardware, North Face, and Wenzel tents. You guys aren't up to Mountain Hardware standards (thank God, the price would be a KILLER), but my Equinox looks like it is made much better than a Columbia tent.Thanks,Jim S.Moscow, ID

Andrew
