- How long does setup take?
- The poles are pre-attached and lock into place, so most owners raise the body in a few minutes and add the rainfly after. Takedown and repacking into the bag are similarly quick.
- Are the LED lights included, and what powers them?
- The lights are built into the ceiling poles and run in high, low and night-light modes. They draw from a battery compartment, and you supply the batteries or power pack yourself.
- Does it really keep out rain?
- The shell is water-repellent polyester with a fully taped rainfly and sealed seams, and owners report staying dry in rain, hail and strong wind. Pitch it with the rainfly and guylines secured for the best result.
- How many people fit comfortably?
- Six sleepers fit on the 99 square feet of floor, and the 6-foot center height lets most adults stand. For more room and gear, plan on four or five people with air mattresses.
- Is it good for backpacking?
- No. It is a cabin tent with steel stakes and a large packed size, so it is meant for car camping and base camps rather than carrying on a trail.
- What comes in the box?
- The tent with pre-attached poles, a rainfly with guylines, a wall organizer, a gear loft, a battery compartment and 20 steel 7-inch stakes.
