From Campmor:
"The Eureka Timberline Tents are possibly the worlds most popular tent with millions being sold over the years. The Timberline 4 XT sleeps up to 4 people and provides a sturdy and stable shelter. The Timberline XT has one attached vestibule for extra gear storage. This is a freestanding, scout tested shelter that is easy to set up and has a durable, stable shockcorded aluminum frame. Hooded windows front and rear in both doors provide excellent venting even in rain while the breathable nylon canopy helps minimize condensation. The fully sealed non stretch polyester fly and the fully sealed nylon bathtub floor combine to keep the worst weather at bay. Main fly and floor seams are factory taped for extreme weather protection. Bathtub floor keeps seams taut and high off the ground for superior protection Attached 14 sq.ft. vestibule for additional gear storage Freestanding 2 Doors Sleeps 4 Shockcorded seamless aluminum frame is sturdy, stable and is usable in cold weather Polyester fly won't stretch or sag and offers greater resistance to UV breakdown A Frame design is incredibly sturdy and easy to set up 2 Large doors with Twin Track window/door zippers are side opening and makes it easy to go in and out of the tent. 2 large windows - 1 in each door provide excellent ventilation Windows are hooded so they can be open even in rain and still get ventilation All windows are closable, great for stopping blowing sand or light snow Low vent in front door creates a Hi-Lo effect to help minimize condensation Breathable nylon canopy helps minimize condensation All clip set up is fast and sturdy and promotes greater air circulation than sleeves Poles attach to tent body via pin and ring for fast and easy set up.

"Excellent heavy duty tent. Great zippers and watertight. Get the front and rear vesibules to max air flow and storage space. It will last decades if taken care of."

"I spent 10 days in this tent in Virginia for the National Boy Scout Jamboree 2005, and the tent was better than I expected.

We had two people staying in the tent, so there was enough room for two cots, and one person's gear. The other would use the vestibule, very big."

"Very disappointed in the quality of workmanship. I went on advice of a close friend and I did get a good price. I have had other Eureka tents in the past 40 years and this was the first one that did not meet up to my standards. I will donate it to the Scouts and stick with my ALPS."

"I own two of these Timberline tents. I bought one about 20 years ago, and nothing has gone wrong. It still looks like new. I am 5'3" tall and I can put this up with the rain fly in 5-10 minutes BY MYSELF! That is the best feature about this tent other than its durability."

"Purchased this tent for a fall BWCA trip for 2 (big) guys. We spent 7 days in this tent without a single incident. We staked it out properly, using all guy-outs as necessary, and the wind and rain were not a problem. I am going to sew additional webing midway on the fly for additional protection, very cheaply done."

"I bought one of these tents a couple of weeks ago I set it up outside to check it out before taking it camping. After I got it together It seemed my older less expensive tent was better made. This tent was only held down by four almost coathanger size pegs and two plastic ones for the fly."
