Help! Our crew of 5 and a Great Dane are searching for a decent warm weather tent. While we drool over this tent, we need something a bit more economical. I was looking at the Eureka Tetragon and the Blue Mesa? Are these good ones? If not, any suggestions? Thanks so much for taking the time to read this! The Parkers

I have this Mntn Hardware Casa6 and LOVE it. But more than 2 persons and I'd have to stay in the car I think.
You might try the N Face trailhead 6. Consider the piddly warranty with, say Coleman, then buy a tent from Backcountry as I did and not like it, and have no problems other than shipping returning it. Good luck with your quest, but look no further than Backcountry for your geer needs. Warranty vs satisfaction and cost. I'd not let a hundred bucks stand between a competitor and Backcountry. Backcountry will price match when they can to a point or at least offer a % off. Good luck!

Just going to add a little more to Pems Review. The Casa 6 dimensions are comparable to most other brands 4 person tents. That said, the Casa is indeed more portable as it is about half the weight of a lot of other brands 4 person tents. It is not meant as a 6 person tent with queen airmatress's etc...It is meant as a 6 person tent with mats, bags and equipment in the vestible. If you want a lounge...go with the NorthFace Trailhead 6 or Kelty Pavilion 6. Much more room, not as much weather resistance and twice the weight.
