The North Face Minibus 3 Tent 3-Person 3-Season

Item #TNF6047 | 14 in Stock
4 Star Rating

Roomy & straightforward

By Backcountry.com Sponsored Athlete Ranked #660 - 3-Season Tents February 18, 2009

This tent is super cool as a backpacking/car-camping tent--it has straight walls on each side making it incredibly roomy, and the mesh sides and top are awesome on a clear night--it feels like you are sleeping outside. It is easy to set up after you do it one time, with some very ingenius snap-in fasteners. The only drawback is due to its height vs. footprint, if it's pretty windy out, the top blows back and forth a bit. This can be solved pretty well by putting on the rain fly and really staking it down tight.
