![]() ![]() I plan on adding additional rain flies around the door and windows so that I can keep the windows open in heavy blowing rain. I am able to put it up while my wife watches the kids and the dogs stay in the car, but an extra pair of hands would make it a cinch. After reading the directions, Eureka says this is unnecessary. I did seal the seams because I always do this with new tents. Even in a downpour, we were dry as long as we kept the windows closed. ![]() On hot days, opening all 4 large windows keeps the tent cool. The fact that it can be divided into 3 rooms was a selling point but we haven't really used the room dividers. I'm 5'5'' and don't really need all the head room but the loft storage comes in handy. This is a very spacious tent with plenty of room for my family. Packability : It packs relatively compactly in comparison to its huge space. The loft storage is a good use of this space. Room & Storage: I'm only 5'5'', so there is way more headroom than I need. Ventilation: With four huge windows and the ample roof vent, the tent stays cool in warm weather and humidity is reduced. In blowing wind, with the windows open, I imagine water would get in. I did seal the seams even though the directions don't say it is necessary (I always do this with any new tent). Weather Resistance: Did well in heavy rain-no leaky seams. A second pair of hands is helpful when putting the poles into the pins that hold them in place and for adding the rain fly, but a single person can do it. My preschoolers were able to put the poles together. Setup: With two people, pitching the tent is easy. ![]()
