I have owned several tents (we are camping addicts) and this might be my favorite. The only reason I am giving this a 4 instead of a 5 is that I do not understand why the back side is all screen. It wasnt a surprise. I knew it would be. I just dont get it. That will make it a bit more of a challenge to insulate in the winter but not impossible. ANYWHO, It is a REALLY great tent. I am 54 and with the help of my 9 year old we got it up in the driveway(which meant we could only stake one side), in the moderate wind in under 20 minutes. I was really shocked how easy it was. I do also wish it had an actual power port, but I can see where you can slide an extension cord in through the side of the porch where the poles connect and then in the front door, so really not a big problem at all. The fabric is a nice weight and the zippers and pole sleeves are excellent quality. I plan to get a tarp to strap across the front when it rains. You can comfortably fit a Queen size mattress and full size mattress side by side with a little room in between and plenty at your feet for your gear.
