My family and I just used this tent for the first time this past weekend. It was very roomy, my wife and I slept on a king air mattress in the center, my nephew slept on a cot on one side, and my other two little ones slept on sleeping pads on the other side; everyone had lots of spare room around them for their bags of cloths and other stuff.

I was very impressed by this tent's zippers and easy setup. The zippers can all be used with one hand as long as the tent is staked down correctly (ie: tight - which is what the set up instructions called for). I was thinking this tent would be difficult to set up being as large as it is, but it was not hard at all.

We camped for four nights; on the first night it rained heavily for eight hours straight from 2 a.m. till 10 a.m., and we stayed dry.

The only negative thing I can say is that the room dividers could have more tie down points to keep each "room" more seperate? Not a big deal...

This is a great tent and I'd recommend it to anyone; especially since they are being closed out for around $190 at various places.
