Set it up in the driveway for practice and it went up pretty easy. Staking the corners helps keep everything from moving when assembling.

This tent is key to a great weekend. Very easy to install. Everything you could have to make camping a blast!

Set up was easy. I watched the video and followed the instructions. The installed tent looked sharp. I had to take pictures and show my friends. Ready for a road trip.

Had I not been a camper with 30 years of camping experience, I would have been sleeping in the cab of my truck. The directions were horrible at best. There were sentences that were cut off in the middle and 2 of the poles were either much too long or their catches were stitched in the wrong location. I was able to correct the problem and get the tent set up, but I should not have had to do that. The tent is great when set up.

we have a eurovan and the hatch is high. the tent was off the ground in that area. bummed it didn't fit better. Also the other door opening i would have preferred be on the opposite side near the slider door on passenger side.

We purchased the 83000 model for our Element and immediately put it up for a trial run. That took 45 minutes for the complete setup using the guide book, but it is pretty self explanatory and next time will be less then 15 minutes without the guide. It goes up pretty easily, even on a breezy day. It is large (almost seems to dwarf the Honda Element) and if there were strong winds that might present a problem. The 2 tent poles seem sturdy and the attachment to the car secure. The access to the car from the tent is great. The tent is HUGE and having the attached screened room will be nice for protecting us and equipment. It is large enough one could bring a smaller picnic table inside it. The floor seems durable so no footprint required for the tent. We will take the advice of others and put seam sealant on the seams. That appears to be a weak spot. There is only one size rain cover which seems small but hopefully adequate. We won't know that until it rains. Prior to this we used a carport which had rain issues along with various size tents, but this looks like a great blend.

My tent fit my truck perfectly. This was questionable because I have an older, 3/4 ton Dodge p.u. with a tool box. The tent your saleman recommended fit perectly, with plenty of room to stretch out in. I love it! Deb K.

This makes it easy to access my car directly from my tent.
