I bought this tent to start some family camping. Nice set up. We really liked it until it rained. This tent is useless in the rain. You would need to do a lot of extra work to get this tent to be useful in the rain. It also tears easily. One kid tripped over a fly guy and the fly ripped about three feet. Junk. It is in the trash now. I probably used it 3 time over a 2 month time. I spend the big bucks on a North Face trail head and have been very very happy. That thing would stand up to a hurricane!
