We have a daughter who tends to sleepwalk sometimes. I would rather have somewhere I can control her comings and goings too. It's hilarious sometimes but then again, sometimes, she gets into some hairy situations. We've had to put inside and outside key locks on our doors at home so she can't get out.

I recently got one of those rooftop tents. They are pretty awesome. I guess its kind of a two roomer, but its more like a tent with a day room attachment. I am super excited to test it out this summer.

Great idea to set it up for another "room" outside. Beats building a pool house!

I always do a practice set up 2 or 3 times before I take it out for the real deal. The practice def helps, and ive found that the method the directions tell you isnt always the best way - sometimes its up to you to find the quickest and most effective way to pitch it.

I can feel your excitement! I feel the same way... we just got back from a long weekend camping at the lake and we used the same 2 room tent we've been using for about 15-20 years! big old clucky poles! we finally invested in a new one... its the Coleman "instant" 14x10 8 person tent. Its supposed to go up in under a minute!
We'll be using it for the first time next month

Trying out new gear to me is like having Christmas any time of the year.

Never played much with tent fans but that could come in handy. I love the idea of a big roomy tent but our family is not large enough for something that sized unless you count the cats too!

Grandma likes big tents and grandpa likes little tents and all for the same reason. Grandkids want to stay with grandma and grandpa.

My husband and I usually go out camping with another family of 4... Never thought about purchasing a tent that large but perhaps it'd be nice to have everyone under one roof.. Let us know how it works out!
