I bought this tent last year after being disappointed that the Tahoe Gear Glacier was unavailable. I really enjoyed this tent although I have to say there were a couple of things that I wished the manufacturer could add/change. First, in the big main room, there are no windows to the back so the ventilation isn't the greatest. As the sun was getting higher it just kept getting hotter and hotter because there was no large window like the front and sides to get air moving in and out. Secondly, for a "12" person tent, there could have been a removable room divider for the main room so it could provide a little more privacy. Initially when I bought it, the description claimed that this tent was a three room tent and had a removable room divider for the main room but upon receiving the tent I didn't get anything. Even the layout picture of the tent showed some separation...So I contacted VM Innovations and they said that they would send one out to me right away but it never showed up and then when I contacted them again they said that they would find out what happened but nothing else was done and then later I went back to look at their description of the tent and they took out the part of having a removable room divider for the main room. Disappointing...On the other hand, a couple cool things that I really liked about this tent were that it really is big and spacious. Setup wasn't difficult at all. I was able to have my 10 year old brother help me. It took the longest the first time just figuring out which poles go where but otherwise, the following times setting up was a breeze. The most difficult part I'd have to say about setting up the tent would have to be putting on the rain fly. I'm 5'2" and that was hard but I finally got it. The smaller room to the side has a zippered door separating it from the main room so that there is complete privacy should it be needed. Also, with each room having its own door it was nice so that if people were leaving, no one would be bothering people in the other room. I had my kids sleep in the smaller room and just twist-tied their door closed from the inside for safety so that no one could open from the outside or they couldn't leave through their door. I left this tent out for almost a week in which it stood and held up under the beating sun and heavy rain with no leaks. The only thing I noticed was that upon taking this tent down, which was a breeze by the way, the poles were slightly bent or curved at the ends where they connected with each other. I don't know if this is normal wear and tear or not but I used it two more times camping and they were fine. I just kind of worried if they were going to start cracking and breaking soon.Overall, I think this is a pretty nice tent. Even with our queen sized air bed at one end of the tent we still had A LOT of space at the other end to stash all of our bags and stuff. I think it would've made a nice "living room" for us had there been a room divider. But, still happy with the tent, although I think I'm still gonna buy the Glacier though just because I had my heart set on it and will try it out. We've got a big family so the other guys can use this one while I try out the Glacier! :D

This tent has to be the easiest to set up. It is large and a 6 ft man can stand up in the tent. It rained when we were camping and there were no leaks. Would definitely recommend this. The stakes are wimpy so re replaced them, but on the whole it is a good buy.

I must say that I did not actually purchase this tent through Amazon but through Tahoe Gear website itself, mearly for my husband's peace of mind, personally I love Amazon an love shopping here.Anyway, back to the tent... The first time we used it was Memorial Day weekend for our annual family camping trip. We set it up in the front yard before leaving and were not impressed by the lack of windows across the back of the tent. It turns out it was a non issue an we acutally liked the privacy that it afforded.This was the second weekend in a row the campground where we were camping experienced a tropical storm.Yes, 45 mph winds, directly on the beach and this tent stood the test!! Although we were lucky not to experience much rain there was some and the inside of the tent was completely dry. We did end up moving to another site for some peace and quiet but it was not because of the tent, I felt safe and dry inside this tent.I can highly recommend this tent...it is HUGE, we had a queen mattress, 3 twin mattresses, a dog bed and there was still plenty of floor space for an area rug.
