Hard to shop without physically seeing it...so here's a 2-part question. I want to sleep minimum 2 twin air bed, so would Flying Diamond 8 been an overkill in terms of size versus the FD6? Number of people would be from 2 to 4 plus a dog -- most often just 2 + dog. Would most campsite like state park be able to accomodate the size? I ask cuz I saw a pic of this guy with FD 8 and it looked like it was too much for the defined area. Thanks! Photos anyone?

Lin...how do you like the FD 6? I am deciding between the 6 and the 8. I'm afraid the 8 might be TOO big.

I looked at the 6 but the 8 is just that much better with added room.

I found a fantastic deal on FD 6. Should be getting it this weekend. Hope it's everything I think it is.
