I can say that I really like the tent. However, I just spent a weekend motorcycle camping and I was very unhappy to find that the rain cover is breaking down.

This tent is a couple years old, and lightly used. No problems with tears, or zippers, but the inner surface of the rain cover is very sticky, it appears that the waterproofing is breaking down. In addition, the seams are cracking and crumbling what appears to be a wax like sealant.

I'm not very happy, no more than 2 stars because of this. I'm going to try and have it replaced.
