   The point- One great design, one good tent. My wife would tell you I research things to death. And that is exactly how I approached this. We had a small RV, but really wanted to pull our small boat more than a trailer to be able to explore waterways. Our answer, find the perfect tent for an early retirement couple.(I think they call that “Glamping”) Criterion; 1. Waterproof and strong. 2. Ease of use. 3. Interior space, (full headroom and space to stretch out.) My research lead me to 2 candidates, the Bushnell 6 person, and a British made Coleman Cortes 8 person (not available in US but shippable on whatcampingtent.com) . While I loved the fixed door on the Cortes, the Bushnell won out due to ease of use. And boy is it easy. I assembled the tent for the first time by myself in about 3 minutes (not including fly). Granted I had watched every video I could find beforehand. This tent does simply pop up. The 210D materials are significantly more durable than the polyester and nylon tents I previewed at big sporting stores and the material does a great job of blocking morning sunlight even though it’s not a black out tent. The rain rating is 2000mm while the floor is 3000mm. Most tents fall in the range of 1200ish. 1500 is widely considered the minimum waterproof rating. Zippers are heavy duty. The day I assembled it was quite windy and I had no challenges and the tent stood on it’s own even before I could stake it down. I had read a few reviews which noted snags in the screens which was my only hesitation in buying the tent. Sure enough upon inspection, there where several small snags, none of which I would have noticed if I had not been looking for them. They appear to be more of a minor manufacturing defect than mishandling or assembly issues. Still you would think Bushnell would address this. No big deal in my book, but I can understand why someone might fuss. This is an honest four person tent, 6 people could sleep, but perfect for 2 who want some room to live not just sleep. Our full height inflatable queen mattress takes up about 50% of the space, allowing us to use an inflatable couch and camping table as well. While it assembles very easily, the trade off is the size of the package. Folded up, it is just over 6′ long. It just fit in the back of my SUV with the rear seat folded down. At 37lbs its not heavy, just awkward. Getting the tent back in it’s bag is not the easiest, nor the hardest thing you will ever do. Went through a solid 3 hour rain on our first weekend and not a drop came in. The first question of the RVer next door in the morning was whether we stayed dry. I happily reported, “very dry.”. I hesitated on the price, the Coleman Cortes was notably less, but upon first assembly I can see the value. Great design. Even the guy lines have their own little pocket storage on the floor, so you didn’t have to fold then up. If you plan to camp like an RVer but want simplicity this tent should be on your short list

   This tent took my boyfriend and I almost 20 minutes to set up. We got the 8 person tent and we had things we liked about it, but ultimately we returned it immediately as it was already really worn in spots and full of holes on the floor tarping in both rooms, as well as the bug netting all over the tent had snags and holes like it had been used and abused in the past. The seems were ripped and the corners were worn before we even put the poles in. I liked the design but I was exemely disappointed in the quality of the tent, I would not have spent so much money on this tent had I known it would have been just a durable as a walmart tent. 🙁 very disappointed. The quality is not worth the price.
