Practice makes perfect

I thought this tent was pretty good. definetly airy for those warm nights and looks pretty good I thought, not that that matters. We just car camped with it but it had plenty of room for 3. I did like the more vertical walls, made it feel roomier. The set up however is kinda tricky. Do not try to set this tent up for the first time in the dark when your tired or it's rainy. It will only frustrate you more. Once you have it set up though it's pretty nice. Thought the doors were kinda small. Especially the back door. The rain fly gives nice full coverage and was pretty easy to put on although we had it backwards first. All in all it's a nice tent that takes some practice first but should do nicely for most occassions.
