- How long does setup take?
- Most owners pitch it in about two minutes with two people and a few minutes alone. The poles are pre-attached, so you unfold the frame and stake it out.
- Does it really fit nine people?
- Nine is a tight sleeping-bag count. For comfort, plan on four to six people with gear, or two queen airbeds and a couple of kids.
- Is it good in rain and wind?
- It handles light rain, but it is not a storm tent. In heavy rain or strong wind, add the guylines, stake it well and expect some flex.
- Can I stand up inside?
- Yes. The cabin walls are near vertical and the center height is around 78 inches, so most adults can stand.
- Does the blackout fabric make it hot?
- It blocks light but holds warmth. In direct sun the inside gets stuffy, so open the windows and roof vent and pitch in shade when you can.
- What comes in the box?
- The tent with pre-attached poles, a carry bag, stakes and guylines. A room divider is included on this model.
- Where is the Core Blackout 9 Person Instant Cabin Tent cheapest?
- At Academy Sports, for $399.99, as of our latest check.
