What Is Your Gear Style: Comfort Driven

We did a 3 week road trip and we camped about 9 nights... the tent was easy to set up. only 2 poles for the tent and one more for the rain fly. It rained a few nights, and we didn't get wet at all... in fact one night I stood up in the tent and felt a giant puddle underneath, but we were dry inside. There aren't zip up covers for the windows, but the rain fly covers them, so you'll need the fly if you want privacy, but we needed it anyways so it wasn't a problem. It's roomy, tall, and comfy. The 2 door feature meant we each had a door and didn't have to crawl over one another for midnight bathroom runs. It's a great tent.
