Readers; How about a real world review of this Tent from One Who Knows? I will list my bona fides at the end; but for Now, a review. Onward, then- this writer, a Senior Citizen, set forth to 'See the USA, not in his Chevrolet' and wanted a Tent that was not a 'load of bollocks'. I knew I wanted CANVAS for the tent, and NOT Poly-? or Nylon or the like. I have used such tents before. In the rain, I should wear my scuba gear when inside one.
So I spent the Kopecks and got the 10x10 DeLuxe Tent. It came intact to my home. From there, to a local KOA for a test BEFORE I 'get out on the highway, looking for a mens room' and have no room to repent the choice.
The first day out at the KOA site, I hauled the tent out of the EV, set it to the grass, hunted up the 'front', turned and fussed it, and began staking it. GAWD! Real Metal Stakes, not recycled baling wire, a good start. I used a bright orange{so I can find it, maybe, when it moves after I set it down} dead blow hammer for this.
Next the very basic seeming tent poles of real metal. I was dubious at first, having used tents with a 'flock' of poles. OK after READING the instructions, I was truly stunned by the effects of a good design. The tent DOES go up easily, by one man, or one broken down Senior Citizen, and it stays tight, taunt, and upright in the wind.
After set up I hung the fancy sorting bag and the loft bag, which I have not yet figure out the 'how' of yet. Both are very useful. Ditto the misc. pockets to the tent interior, the GOOD zippers to the doors and panels. Note here, put some lubricant, of the sort that does not destroy the finish to the tent waterproofing, to the zippers. I used beeswax, and it makes the zipper a bit more waterproof.
The sewing details of the tent are first rate. The overpanels to the ends of the zipper is a clever way to stop the zipper from coming off the track at the end and re-enforcing the zipper sewing. The floor 'plastics' are a good and solid touch as well.
Take the company hint and buy one or two of the moving blankets for the tent floor. They work dandy with bare feet, they feel good underfoot, and it makes cleaning the tent easy. With two, one can be washed, while the other is used. Further they can be used to wrap breakables when transporting the gear, or even as an underpad to sleep on.
So Reader, if you have made it thus far, thank you--now go out and buy one for YOUR next camping outing.
