one terrific tent!
By dry man
this tent is really built! first time out we were in a 12-hour downpour--extremely heavy rain. absolutely no leaks, drippage, or any problem at all. everything was extremely well-sealed right out of the box. the ventilation system is also outstanding--4 very large windows, large ceiling vents and the lower vent in the door panel real helps the air flow! generally very easy to set up with 2 people. this is an outstanding tent--very well constructed, easy up and down, tight, waterproof, and practical. we use it for 2 people. 3 or 4 would be really pushing it, in term of interior space, but it's very well suited for 2 adults plus gear. enjoy!

By JOHN KNOWLES
I have two Sunrise 8 tents by Eureka. I chose Eureka because they are the company that produces two-man tents for the U.S. Armed Forces.The Sunrise 8 is a very well made tent, with quality stitching all around. The floor material is durable and water proof. With 4 large zip windows there is plenty of ventilation options, along with the "Hi/Low" venting on the door. I have found this traditional design of tent with roof peaks on all sides to be very resistant to heavy rain. It will sleep two luxuriously, three comfortably, and four decently. When sleeping four, since it is square, this allows sleeping bag arrangement to be easy, with your travel bag at your feet or your head. The inside height of the tent is pretty tall, so getting dressed in the morning isn't complicated. The zippers are not cheapies, so they glide smoothly and don't get stuck. There is also a mesh organizer included, but I have found I don't use it.Assembly is super simple, easily done by yourself in 10 minutes or faster with a partner. There are two tent rods and two roof rods. You don't even need to pull out the instructions. That's why I like this design. Take down is just as easy, and the air escapes quickly. The storage bag is plenty big and you will not have a problem fitting it into the bag. NOTE: As with any tent, always fold and roll your tent, then put it in the bag... don't just stuff!This tent is more expensive than, say a Coleman of the same size, but you get what you pay for. I would highly recommend this tent to families or individuals that do "state park" style modern camping a few times a year. This durable tent should last a lifetime.Also there is the Sunrise 9, which is 9x9ft in the same design.May 8, 2011 - Both of the tents are still in great shape, zippers fine, no leaks, no tears. After many camping trips they held up very well.

By J. Kempe
I wanted to withhold reviewing this item until I really was able to test it. The first few times i used it it was sunny 70 degree days, any tent would be great for that.Well, this past weekend provided a test from hell. I had to set up the tent by myself for the first time and it took all of 15 minutes total, if that; very straightforward. The day was incredibly hot and I need an afternoon nap, so I put the ventilation system to the test. The four large windows and the small lower vent really moved the air well. Even with the direct sun it was not much warmer in the tent than outside of it. That night the rain came. Flash floods lightning, and wind. It was quite a storm. The entire camping area was underwater. Two sites down from us the people had water to their doors of their car. Luckily we were uphill from them, but not out of the water. We were in about 2" of water, but the tent didn't leak a drop. It felt like we were on a water bed there was so much water under and around the tent, but it held its own and kept us dry. People were amazed that we had no water, they all swore they were ditching their old tents and buying one of these.All told, this tent is great. Size wise it is great for my family and me, not obnoxiously over-sized and manageable for one person set up, but also big enough inside to stretch out.I wholeheartedly recommend this Eureka Tent.
