“A disappointing purchase.”

“Judging by the other great reviews this tent has received I think I must have been unlucky and got a bad tent. [...] I then did a test erect in the back garden and caught a good shower that night. I'm glad I was snug in my own bed for the test run because the next morning the tent contained a giant puddle.I also found the rain flaps around the door a bit of a nuisance as they would get caught in the zip unless you really paid attention, and I think the rain fly was a little skimpy.Also, as it's a close out it's impossible to find the matching footprint anymore so be prepared with homemade tarps cut to shape if you are a footprint advocate.On the plus side I think I would have considered swapping it for another Rio Grande 6 if I'd had enough of a time frame to accomplish this before I was due to take the family camping. It was really easy for one person to erect and strike down. Fairly lightweight for a car camping tent and seemed to be a good size for my family of two adults, toddler, baby and dog. The big windows and ventilation seemed great. One star rating from me because really, it's a tent and when it comes down to it the main purpose is to keep you dry and sheltered, and it failed.”
