Great Tent!

By Scott Smith Ranked #47 - 3-Season Tents February 24, 2009

I have taken the Roadrunner 33 on several trips- and have packed my entire family into it a couple of times (that is 2 adults and 2 kids)... it worked, but I wouldn't recommend doing that again. The point is that we fit in and all slept fine. Set up takes a few minutes. It is very easy, my 10 year old can set this tent up, no problem. I love the lightweight poles, the full coverage the fly provides and how well the fly fits over the tent snugly. There are several points you can tie the fly out tightly, which is fantastic during a rain storm. I've camped in Oklahoma during some huge thunderstorms where may other campers were soaked...while my son and I stayed dry as a bone in this tent. We've also used this in Colorado mountains where the tent got covered in ice and some snow...we were also protected well. The vestibules are great to leave gear in, while not huge, they are sufficient for a pack in each. I have not tried putting 2 packs in one. I'd recommend the footprint and the gear loft as well. With TNF footprint and the fly, you can set up a really lightweight shelter without the actual tent if you want. Gear loft, especially with 3 people gives you a sturdy place to put your headlamps, wallets, knives etc. I'm 6'1" and fit the tent well. After growing up sleeping in crappy tents on Boy Scout trips, the Roadrunner 33 has been a dream.
