This Family Camping Tents give to us some advantages, like this :
1. Great tent, good price, easy setup, a couple of recommendations....
I paid just over $104.00 for the Wenzel Great Basin tent on sale and it is HUGE. We immediately set it up in my backyard for two weeks as I sealed the seams (more about that later).
My kids slept in it one of those nights and it was rained on several different days and subjected to high winds (30-40 mph gusts) a couple of days with no problems but some slight leakage in the staked corners and where the pouches were stitched on the inside. These leaks occurred BEFORE I sealed the seams. Once the tent's seams were sealed, my wife and I inspected it thoroughly from inside during one of the steady rains we had while it was set up in the backyard and found no leakage at all. (See the last paragraph for information about seam sealing.)
My only concerns about this tent are:
1. The fly doesn't extend out quite far enough over the ends to cover the windows. If you left those windows open during a rain, you'd get water in the tent. (Fortunately the fly does...
2. This tent is HUGE
This tent was a lot bigger than I expected it to be, which is a good thing. It is very roomy, so if you have a lot of people (or just a lot of stuff), this will work great. There is enough room for multiple adults to stand up straight without hitting their heads on the ceiling. Despite the fact that it is so big, it is very easy to set up (I set it up on my own, with no help). My only complaint is that the air circulation is rather poor. The windows are rather small compared to the size of the tent, so unless you have the rain fly off, it is very stuffy.
