Okay so we love our new tent. Awesome for the heat with good air curculation and amazing views with a door at both sides. The only issue is the directions kind of suck. The tent was super easy to set up, but the rain fly not so much. If the directions would actually explain how to set up the rain fly it would probably be easy, but with really no directions trial and error can take a bit of time to figure it out. We bought the tent because of only good reviews on other sights and for size. We fit a queen size air mattress and two pack n plays with space to spare.

I recently had the chance to use this tent, and it was in early March (so, it was fairly cold out, yes)--I did use a heater inside the tent. There are a number of things I do enjoy about this tent.1. Setup was fairly simple, even without using directions--I like to setup a tent without looking at directions first, just to see how easy it is. The only confusing part was how the pole for the rain fly attached. I had to look at the directions to see how this was done, but it would have been fairly straight forward if it wasn't so dark out. Tip: Insert the pole for the rain fly prior to placing the rain fly over the dome...otherwise you'll never get it on.2. When staking out the tent--and rain fly--don't make everything overly-taught. This causes undue strain on zippers, and will cause them to split prematurely (the material for the zippers are fairly cheap, but they work if you don't put too much tension on them).3. The "porch" feature was awesome! Even though it was a bit of a pain to get into/out of when half-asleep, it helps to keep the heat in quite nicely! There's a could 4x3 section this covers, and you can almost stand all the way up in--I would imagine this does a great job in keeping rain out of the main tent.4. As far as I can tell, the rain fly will hold out the rain, but it did not rain during this trip for me to comment on.5. While the tent holds in heat pretty well, this means it'll be unbarabely HOT during summer temperatures. There is no ventilation possible, unless you want people to look into your tent--i.e. no privacy in this instance.6. I can confirm that I was able to stand up straight without issue. There was plenty of room in the tent for 2 queen size mattresses, but that would be it. I just had a single queen in there, and had plenty of room for gear--not to mention the "porch"!7. Tear down was a snap, if a bit cumbersome for one person. But, I can at least say this can be put up, taken down, by a single person without much issue in about 30 mins. An additional person will halve the time, or more, it takes to do either task.Would have given it 5 stars if there was a possibility of ventilation while maintaining privacy--for group camping.
