Only one complaint...when the wind is blowing rain at the doors they leak slightly, other wise we were dry as a bone! Three of us slept on twin sized mattresses with room to walk. Easy to put up and take down quickly. The stakes are wimpy...I replaced them witht the coleman plastic stakes.

Huge tent! 2 full size mattress in there, with room to spare.

It stayed dry in the rain, except when the door was unzipped to get in, and then quite a bit poured in.

Both small poles for the rain fly broke on our first (2-day) camp. Coleman sent us replacements. One had a piece break off in the metal joiner, so it was useless, and the other had a section split lengthwise, so it was a duct tape repair.

We plan to use it a couple of more times this summer, & I have a feeling it's not going to last (based on the poles) -- we'll see.

I was disappointed in the design of the tent. Unfortunately our tent was put to the test our second night sleeping in it. We were in Zion's National Park and the rain and wind were strong but not severe. If the doors get wet, and you open them, water will cascade down the door right into the tent. We had so much water come in. I was also surprised to see water come in through the seams were the tent poles attached to the tent. We also had water pool on top of the tent. I spent probably an hour trying to work with the rain fly and guy lines to tighten up the fly to stop the pooling, but I finally gave up and put a tarp over the top. I also noticed that one of the fly poles that you see over the doors had trouble staying in place. The way the pole holder was designed just didn't seem to work. I like the huge size and ease of setup, but ended up returning the tent for a full refund.
