If you are looking for a quality 4 person tent, with 6 foot peak, full rain fly, and roomy vestibule, this is your tent! Perfect for car camping (at 20 lbs too heavy to pack in anywhere). We wanted something nice for two people to stretch out in (with lots of gear and cots), but this would also be very nice for a small family. Vestibule is tall and roomy (my 2 person backpacking tent could be pitched in it).

As a rather short lady, I was able to set it up very quickly by myself. Someone said they had a problem with the fly, not sure why, it could not have been easier to pitch. The quality of this tent is very very nice. Interior pockets under each window are great storage. 2nd door and mini vestibule are also nice. I highly recommend this tent.Not sure why it is not as widely available as the Trailhead 6 and 8, it fits a nice niche in the market.
