Looking at buying a new tent? Help!!?




Megan S


Me and my college roommate need a new tent. We love to go camping over the summer maybe once or twice a month if not more. We are looking for a two room tent that will allow privacy since we usually travel with our boyfriends or other friends. We are looking for something large, but not awkwardly bulky.

We live in the mountains and almost everytime we go camping it rains, so thats another constant problem we have.

I'm looking at suggestions for a two room tent that is awesome with water leakage and will keep us warm in the fall and early spring months, but will keep us cool in the summer with good ventilation.

Now keep in mind we are in college so we are strapped on cash. We don't want anything over two hundred dollars unless its going to last a couple of years.

Don't forget, this is two girls buying a tent, so it needs to be somewhat easy to put up, and decent looking haha.



Answer
Hi Megan,

It's very cool you have a friend to go camping =) plus your boyfriend loves camping too

well, I highly recommend this tent coz it has best quality and will last for years..in addition it's easy to set up.

Eureka Titan Luxury Family 13.5-Foot by 9.5-Foot Eight-Person Two-Room Tent
Three- and Four-Season Tents
For summer, early fall and late spring outings, choose a three-season tent. At minimum, a quality three season tent will have lightweight aluminum poles, a reinforced floor, durable stitching, and a quality rain-fly. Some three-season tents offer more open-air netting and are more specifically designed for summer backpacking and other activities. Many premium tents will feature pre-sealed, taped seams and a silicone-impregnated rain-fly for enhanced waterproofness.

For winter camping or alpine travel, go with a four season model. Because they typically feature more durable fabric coatings, as well as more poles, four-season tents are designed to handle heavy snowfall and high winds without collapsing. Of course, four-season tents exact a weight penalty of about 10 to 20 percent in trade for their strength and durability. They also tend to be more expensive.

My fiance and I are registering on Amazon.com for our wedding because we want to build some a supply of camping gear. It's me, him, and our 4 year old. We need a tent, coleman stove, you name it. I just don't know where to start. I want to get quality stuff so any advice would be appreciated to get started. We probably will mostly do "car camping" to start, where you park right near your camp site. If someone has a list of stuff I could register for, that would be great. I remember my mom taking us all the time when we were little, and this is a tradition I would like to carry on. We really need help on choosing the right coleman stove and a tent! We probably will register for cots too. ( a luxury I didn't have as a kid. ha ha.


Answer
A large air bed is better than a cot by far. A small (3-4 man) double wall, free standing dome type tent (with a full fly that reaches the ground, none of those little tiny flies just on the tip) for sleeping only, and a larger screen tent to go over or near the picnic table, where you'll spend a lot of time, would be nice. Folding chairs are sturdier than those fold up chairs if you have room to pack them. You'll want a good thick cooler, and two burner Coleman stove, and decent sleeping bags, not cotton but 100% synthetic. Always get the smallest, least fancy item, you might need, not the most complicated, but the most traditional and not the biggest and most expensive.

Coleman stoves and coolers are good but tents and sleeping bags are not their forte. A better bet would be to register at REI.

This air bed will fit into this tent:
