"It is a well-made tent that can be attached to a station wagon (Subaru-Outback in my case). It a a bit heavy for a tent of its size. It takes getting used to to set it up especially if it is going to be attached to car. So I recommend to practice it before going camping with it."

"The Napier Dome to go tent is great, easy to set up and take down and very comfortable. Leaky where the hatchback touches though and needs waterproofing spray. No problem getting it into the bag provided either."

single woman struggles

"I love the concept. I have now used it twice. The tent expands the use of my Subaru Outback which is great. Like the tent, BUT, as a single woman I have found it a bit difficult to put up on my own. I thought it would be a little easier to put up. The short eaves pole is very difficult to squeeze into the double stitched pocket after one end is in. It takes a struggle - maneuvering and strength. There just has to be an easier method to get this done. I am also a bit concerned about the strength of these two double-stitched pockets as the stitching seems stretched and too taut when the pole is in position. Time will tell. Great tent ventilation."

"FIT" to go

"My "Dome to Go Tent" had it's first tryout this past weekend on the back of a Honda FIT. It went up in about 20 minutes the first time. I think the next time will be even easier now that I've tweaked the process. The large windows and screen door came in handy in the 95 degree Georgia heat. A couple of fans and my dog and I were quite comfortable. I didn't sleep in the back of the car as planned because the dog couldn't find enough room to lay down (he's used to a queen size bed). We slept in the tent instead. The only suggestion I would have would be to add a power port hookup like I've seen on some tents and maybe a flap to install a small air conditioner (Southerners would appreciate this especially!)"

"Used the tent for the first time this weekend and loved it! It will fold up to fit back in the bag if you have a little patience. Highly recommended! Thanks"

"I love this tent. It was easy to put up and take down. Very roomy. I haven't used it in the rain yet, so I'm not sure how well the overlap that goes over the hatchback works. It seems like water might drip in, but I'm optimistic."

Unbelievable!

"Was skeptical at first, but the thing really works - great quality too. Set it up in about 10 minutes with no problems. Highly recommended. I do have to agree with other reviewers - there is no way this tent will fit back into stuff sack provided."

"The Napier Dome tent works great. We had a little trouble with zippers at first but got used to using them. Only suggestion is that the cargo bag is too small and very hard to get the tent folded tight enough to get it in. Tent goes up and down very well."

Fun Tent

"Tent assembled easily and I enjoyed my first camping experience. The tent fit nicely on the back of my Subaru Forester and looked great. However, I wish the storage/carry bag for the tent was larger as I have not been able to roll up the tent small enough to fit into the bag provided."
