A couple of questions here. I have been doing some extensive research on my next tent purchase, and this one is near the top of my list (I need to fit 2 comfortably and 1-2 labs). Does anyone know if Nemo has descontinued this model or is ready to come out with an updated version, because it is out-of-stock on their site? More importantly, one hesitation I have is the lack of a full coverage fly -- in severe wheather or heavy humidity, does the ends of the tent not covered by the fly get wet or damp?

This is the tent for you. Nemo sells a paw print liner for the dogs you mentioned. And the walls do get a little damp in extended rain but it is really not a big deal. One thing most people do not know about this tent is how great the materials are. The coating on this tent is not silnylon instead it is polyurathane. Slicone acts as a solvent for nylon and overtime will cause it to break down. The polyurathane is more expensive and better for the longevity of the tent. Nemo was one of the first companies to make this switch. Also if you look at the waterproofing rating for the fly and the floor you will find that it is substantially better than other 3 season tents on the market. I am pretty sure I misspelled polyurathane but the rest of the info should be accurate.

My Losi 3P got a tiny, tiny bit wet once (well, more like damp) on the non-door sides during a heavy rain and wind storm. But for the most part it's stayed bone dry inside -- only during that once crazy storm did it show signs of getting wet, and as soon as the wind subsided a bit it dried right out. I was never worried.

I can't speak to the issue of Nemo coming out with a new version but I'll try and help you on the other two. First, as far as space goes, with 50sq feet you'll plenty of room for 2 people and 2 dogs in a Losi 3P. As for the tent not being covered by the fly, I don't know what you mean. The fly completely covers the tent although on the sides it does cut it close. But, the fly does dip below the mesh even if only a couple inches. It provides more than adequate protection in a total downpour and plenty of ventilation for nights that are humid. I can't recommend this tent enough especially with the space to weight ratio. Hope this helps.
