"water everywhere, broken zippers, my wife me and our two children trying to sleep in the mattress in the middle of the tent where we were getting less wet than on the sides of the tent.

please people, do not buy this junk, is just perfect for the kids if they want to camp inside the house."

"The shape of the tent is perfect for my family of six with 3 wings and a "common area".

The tent leaks if you don't seam seal both the main tent and the fly. As an experienced camper I am not use to having to seal the fly.

It is an awkward shape to get a tarp for underneath."

"I bought this tent on sale from Sears, for something around 100 bucks. I wanted a family tent for summer (hot weather) camping, so this tent with its ventilated roof looked like it would stay cool during warm days and nights; which it did quite well."

"We just bought ours and this was our first camping trip. I did not know anything about this model (no homework!) so it is a little late but I found out what doesn't work: the room dividers are a joke, if you hung a sheet, you'd have more privacy; the head clearance is poor, only in the very center is where you can stand and that is where the bed went; you can't stand in any of the side rooms; the floor plan has a stange pattern so I had a real hard time fitting the tarp for the floor under the tent; again, because of the pattern, the tarp that I bought to use OVER the tent did not fit no matter how I tried to reposition it, so two bedrooms had water inside."

"Tent went up fine but when it started to rain there was no protection, rain came right through. Rain water all over the floor, all the bedding was soaked. I had five children in the tent with my wife and what a mess."

"UUUUUUUGH!! Might as well have slept outside in the rain because the tent offered no protection. It seemed like there was no roof on the tent the way the rain was coming in. The shame of it all is that it was a birthday present for my son."

I own three Hillary tents and don't know why I keep buying them. I will not any longer, I just got back from a camping trip and it was steady rain the whole time. The tent leaked very badly from the roof, needless to say it really sucked. If you are looking for a good tent look elsewhere, I camp a lot (just usually not in the rain) so hopefully I'll find one that doesn't leak so bad soon.

"Do NOT BUY THIS TENT!!

We bought it last year, and have used it twice. Last year went ok, just the divider hooks ripped off with very little pressure. The dividers are really TOO small for the opening, offering very little privacy. Okay, so I can sew the hooks back on or MAKE larger dividers."
