I looking for a good size family tent and I could use some help. I want to be in the 10’x14’x at least 6’ tall (8-person) range. The tent will typically be used for two adults, two kids and two large dogs but will also be tricked out on occasion for a luxurious romantic outing for two. We will primarily be car camping by a lake, beach, in the desert or up in the mountains. I think on person set-up requiring no more than 30 minutes is a must. It goes without saying that staying dry and comfortable is very, very important too. I want something that is durable but I’m not sure it needs to last 20 years or more. I just don’t want something breaking after a few uses. The manufacture MUST have a good warranty/replacement policy as well as great customer service. I’m expecting to pay between $300 and $400 for a good tent but might be willing to save a little longer for the Kodiak Flex Bow it the majority of responses point me in that direction. I’m currently looking at three different tents but I’m open to other suggestions as well. My biggest question is how well does the Cabela’s tent compare to the Kelty tent? I really like the Cabela’s design and price but I’m nervous because it’s a new design and no one has reviewed it yet. Has anyone had experience with their tents in this price range?
The three tents I’ve been looking at are:
Kelty Parthenon 8-Person Tent
Cabela's new Bunkhouse Tent series
Kodiak Delux Flex Bow 8-person canvas tent
