User Reviews

Foundation 6
Reviewed by Sheila, Aug 25, 2009

"I wasn't sure what to expect out of my new tent, there weren't many of this size available when I purchased it.

The only negative statements I could make about the Foundation 6 are about lack of windows and typical lack of space. I was aware of that when I bought the tent - it would be uncomfortable to sleep 6 people, but worked wonderfully for sleeping 3 people."
