Product Details
Main Features
- Weather armor polyester fabric gives tremendous reliability and toughness and is enhanced with an additional polyurethane coating
- Armor tough seams throughout the body of the tent, our sewing technique incorporates double stitched, lap-feld seams that provide a stronger shingle effect against water.
- Weather Armor details have all threads, zippers and webbing treated with superior water repellency applications to enforce these critical areas
- Rain Shingle - our rain shingle layer on the lower portion of the tent wall provides a water shed effect
- Sonic sealed floors are welded, not sewn, therefore eliminating stitching and needle holes that create another potential area for water to penetrate

Customer Reviews
Tent broke in first use
The tent was nice in Theory. 2 adults - a twin air matress and a small dog fit well. The Porch area was nice until we tried to open it. There are no stakes to hold down the bottom of the tent where the zipper is, so you end up fighting with it if you don't have both hands free.
Setting up was cumbersome, but that's to be expected with a tent of this kind.
The support beam over the 'porch' snapped in a small wind gust about a month after purchase, and the supplier was nearly impossible to get ahold of. Waited on hold for over an hour. No Online customer service available.
Representative entirely unhelpful, made ME figure out what the part code of the piece was, and had absolutely no knowledge of the tent.
Charged me for the part (just $5) and for rush delivery since I was needing in a hurry. Didn't offer any sort of warranty for their product. Will not buy this brand again.
Beware the wind
I purchased the tent primarily for the screened entry. I ordered the Aspen but got the Fern green one. We camped next to the Bonneville Salt Flats. The tent went up easily and is roomy. The first problem was the cross member in the very front. It broke off as I inserted it in the metal receiver. Next problem was the small tent stakes. They do not hold in the soft soil. Then came the wind. It blew about 25 MPH. The front screened protion ripped apart and the cross piece split in several places. One of the feet ripped away and the top, five point star also split. The wind only lasted for a couple hours. The tent stayed up and was usable for the rest of the week. The final pain was trying the stuff it back into the bag. It is too small and I finally gave up and threw the whole thing into a large dumpster. Two other tents in the same area suffered no damage from the wind.
Nice Tent
This is a really nice tent, however, it's really just big enough for two adults. The screened area will accommodate two chairs and a small table. Hey, it's a tent, not an RV! With our queen mattress, there is enough room for more things and to dress. OK, I waited for some heavy rains before taking it down, there were only a few drops of water under one window! As always, AMAZON.COM is the best seller!
Spacious, superb value
This tent is a great value. On the plus side, it is fairly easy to set up/take down, and is very spacious on the inside. A lot of nitpicky minuses though:
-screen area has no floor (this was the most disappointing thing)
-To get into/out of tent, have to go through front door and screen door (no rear door)
-This tent would be spacious for 3 adults, 4 could fit, but 5 full-size adults would definitely be a stretch
On the balance, it seems to be a well-made tent for a very low price, so it seems worth it. Of course, I haven't taken it out in the rain yet, so I can't yet speak to how it handles the elements.
easy set up
This tent was super easy to set up. I've only used it once so far, and it was fantastic. It's the perfect size for 2-3 adults. We were able to put a king size air mattress in there with more than enough room to spare. It didn't rain during our trip so I can't vouch for how water proof it is. I had a 10 person Wenzel that's exactly like this one, and the water leaked into the tent a little when it rained really hard. Overall, I love Wenzel's products. I recommend it.
