Eureka Tetragon 1210 Tent: 8-Person 3-Season - 2008 BCS

we are very big campers looking for the reasonably priced ultimate family tent for 3 tried 5 different tents before this one. went on our first camp out with it on the beach. assembly is a breeze (2 people recommended). stands up well to wind and keeps it warmer inside, my guess by as much as 8-10 deg, i was inside putting on a sweater and all the windows were up so i unzipped a little of one side and the temp from outside was very obvious. love the hanging storage pockets (can be used as hanging or top storage net). great big windows on every side makes it almost like a screen house if hot out and zips up on all sides except for vent on top (rain fly covers that one). the material on the floor at first seemed very thin but when we used it on dirt (had a trap under as recommended by Eureka)held up to my wife my son and i twisting and stepping on it with shoes so far very durable and somewhat stretches. the only down sides i see is the zippers on the windows next to the door come together at the bottom right and looks like if it were to rain hard would funnel the rain right in ( if the rain comes in sideways) hasn't happened on us yet so good luck. so we love this tent so far and just remember if this is to much for you, you do get what you pay for. hope this helps and happy camping.

for the price, this is an excellent 8 man tent. It may be a family tent but it stands up to the worst of conditions. Little did we know there'd be thunderstorms, heavy rain and 30mph winds at times. This tent stood up to it and kept us dry.

Had an experience with a sudeen extreme downdraft wind that knocked over most everything else at the campsite but this held on. Nice to stay dry...
