15 years - happy customer
By Canfran
We've used this tent for boy scouts, girl scouts, and family from 1-4 weeks per year. It's very roomy and comfortable. Truly sleeps six, although my husband and I have enjoyed a queen airbed with porta crib, luggage, and room to move around. My favorite part is the windows - three large ones. It's dreamy to lie on an air bed and read. Sun and rain stay out, gentle breezes come in. Winds stay out when all is closed. Vent on top, too. After a few years, the zipper split - things wear out. Eureka was great. They sent a new zipper with simple instructions for replacing it, something akin to zipping a jacket together. It require a minimal amount of sewing at the end of the zipper that I was able to do on my 35 year old Kenmore sewing machine. It's time to replace the tent. Wind tore a hole in top this week end. Gusts 20-40 mph. (tore grommets out of our dining fly) Zippers are becoming sluggish. Like I said, things wear out. We plan to buy this tent again. Look for it in blue.

Solid tent
By Steve
Don't know how well it will hold up in the long run, but it held up to incredible windstorms at burning man that would have destroyed my department store tent. The hexagon shape sheds wind really well. This design started out as a backpacking tent, though this is clearly a car camping tent. The full fly that reaches to about 10inches off the ground should make this tent a good performer in wet weather also.Eureka's quality is not what it used to be, but It's still superior to the cheap stuff you will typically find at Walmart/Academy. Unfortunately there probably is not any better made stuff out there since all most tents are now made off shore somewhere. The poles were heavy and didn't impress me coming out of the box, but they were unphased by the wind.

A good tent - lots of useful space
By L. Holland
I'm happy with this tent. It was pricey, compared to other tents this size, but it was the only one out there that allows you to stand up anywhere in the tent. Compared to the little dome tents we've been accustomed to, this tent seemed luxurious. The light colored fly and tent material keep the interior very bright (also prevents you from sleeping in!). So far we haven't tested it in heavy rain... it was fine in a light drizzle.Follow Up:We tested the tent in heavy cold rain last Columbus Day weekend, and it stayed very dry as well as warm. We set up the tent with a full size air mattress, a little folding chair, a little folding table, and the dog's bed and still had plenty of room to maneuver. We put an old blanket down to cover and protect the floor, and to keep our feet warm. Works great!Only complaint: when it rains mud and dirt bounce up onto the zipper, making it hard to open. I think I'll get a doormat to leave outside in front of the door to prevent this from happening.
