Beautiful, easy to set up, roomy, practical (even has a hook in each room for a lantern), and take down was a breeze. I highly recommend this tent. Even though the SUV has swing doors rather than a hatch the tent fit well.

My wife and I are getting back into camping. We have a 08 Tacoma and the tent is Great. Put it up first in the backyard with no problem. Getting ready to hit the trail, do some fishing, and some much needed R&R. This is a great deal!!!!!

Pretty, decent tent. About as easy to set up as any other large tent in the woods, and in the rain and mud. Night #1, ok, no rain. Night #2, pouring rain exposed every leak this thing had to offer; last time I ever fall for the advertisement, "no seem sealer required." Naturally, once we put a tarp over it, it didn't rain again the rest of the week. I still like the concept behind this tent, but getting the seal right around the SUV is never going to be perfect, due to each vehicle's differences, especially where the taillights are located. Btw, this tent may not work right with a side-opening door, like the rav-4. I used it on a Ford Expedition; tough fit around the tent opening, but doable. I was originally concerned with how I'd be able to have the hatch open, but with the interior light off - I just had to turn the dimmer for the dash display light, all the way down it turns off; no problem. Beware, once you drive away, it can be difficult to re-attach the tent again. All things considered, it's a pretty nice tent for the money, but you must follow the directions carefully (and bring something to step up on to reach the high spots outside - I'm 6'2", and had a tough time with the final stages of setup!)

I've only used the tent once so far but I'll give you my pros and cons and you can decide for yourself: Pros: It is roomy and it does work as a stand alone tent. I haven't had an opportunity to use it attached to my Xterra. Cons: The instructions are poorly put together and written. The tent stakes were useless. It was very difficult to put up in the wind even with 2 people trying to set it, Initially I'm disappointed with the purchase but am hoping that the more I use the tent I'll change my mind.

I haven't used it yet or even unpacked it. I am looking forward to using it in June for a camping trip in northern Michigan.

The tent is a really good size, worth every penny! It really catches the attention of other campers!

Bought tent based on several internet reviews. Just returned from a family camping trip to Cape Cod's National Seashore. Tent was easy to use. Very high quality. A real hit in the campground, many fellow campers came by to visit and found it extremely sensible. We love it!

We are very pleased with the tent after our first camping weekend. We first raised the tent at home to become familiar with it, so doing it again in the field was a zip. Our only point of disatisfaction was when not connected onto our vehicle, that area of the tent lacks any tidy management for the many straps. Also wish an affordable tent footprint was provided as an accessory. Once raised, the tent is very spacious as the sides are nearly vertical for the first 3-4 feet. With total height of about 7 feet tall, one can move about without stooping. The tent portals and zippers allow outstanding flexibility to adjust views, shading and air flow.

This is the easiest tent I have ever put up. It is great we even put it up in 20-30 mph wind it still went up easy we attached it to the SUV and used tiedowns on the other side, and that worked. We had no problems the rest of the night.

Since we are novice campers, we found the directions to be less than helpful..it's nice that it is sewn into the sack, however we had no clue as to how to set it up..I think better and step by step instructions should be included in this. After some trial and error we finally figured it out but it still didn't appear to look like the online pictures..otherwise it'a an awesome tent..Thanks
