Eureka Suite V6 Tent - 6-Person, 3-Season

Best to put this thing up at home before taking it camping. Getting the poles in the right loops was a challenge. After getting it set up it's obvious, but instructions were not very clear for me. But, seems to be a well made tent and think I will enjoy it.

Good value.

I did a great amount of research before I bought this tent! It is big enough for 2 queen airbeds, plenty of room inside, stand up (and walk) comfortably, the construction seems durable. Sierra had a GREAT deal, 50% of regular price (compared w/other stores)! THANKS! It helps to build it in your back yard before you go camping, just to get familiar with the construction (2+1big+2small poles). You'll need a tarp underneath. The poles for the little veranda aren't included, but the tent has plenty of room in the "lobby" or inside. Can't wait to go camping and enjoy this beautiful tent!

We typically backpack, but with smaller children, we have taken to car/boat camping, where weight is less of a concern. We still used our backpacking tents, which are great, but smaller. This tent is truly enormous in comparison. Where a backapacking tent says it sleeps 3, it really means 2. By contrast, where this one says 6, it could easily fit 8. With an awning and height that enables one to literally walk into it, it's really more akin to pavilion than a tent. After setting it up in the yard, it endured three thunderstorms without a drop getting it! Due to its size, it is best set up with two people, however.

I bought this for my family of five and am pleased with its size which can easily accomodate all of us. However we took it out to a state park where the tent collapsed in wind, not even during a storm in fact just some heavy morning wind off of the lake, and one of the pole sections split. This is the third time we have used it. Upon contacting Eureka, or Johnson Outdoors, I was disappointed to learn that it'll take 4 to 6 weeks if we send it to them for warranty service. Furthermore the representative I spoke to said that they don't even stock the poles for this tent so they aren't even sure what they'll do though fixing the broken section seems the most obvious.
