User Review: Eureka! Timberline 4

Rating: rated 2.5 of 5 stars
Source: received it as a sample, freebie, or prize

Summary

Good tent, except in the rain. Always wanted a Timberline, finally got one, first use was in three days of continuous rain. The bottom door "draft tube" flap thing filled with water. There was not a way to open the door without water coming in the tent. I tried to get the annex vestibule but they stopped making them. :( Will still use it but only during nice weather.

Pros

  • Classic style and color
  • Quality materials and craftsmanship

Cons

  • Door design

I have the same tent and never had a rain issue with the the bottom of the door. I have used the same tent in the BWCA during a summer Tstorm and didn't have the leak

The leak described. I did however get the vestibule and if you can get your hands on one, do so because it's a great place to store shoes.
