My fiance and I want to take the dogs hiking this summer. He is 5'11" and 230-lbs, I am 5'3" and 155-lbs, we have a 34-lb adult Beagle, and a Bloodhound puppy who is currently 16-lbs BUT she could get as big as 100-lbs.
The tent is 9-feet wide X 4.3-feet High X 7-feet deep. It has pockets for side storage. It is only $44 on Ebay, which is a great deal.
Does anyone with camping experience think this will be a good size for us? Thank you.
Answer
Sorry, but any tent you can get on Ebay for $44 is NOT a "good deal". A tent at that price for that size is going to be substandard design and materials. It will most likely leak in rainy conditions and not be sturdy enough to withstand the rambunctious activity of a large puppy. In fact, some cheapo tents will collapse even in moderate use. If you are seriously planning to do this, spend a little more and get a good brand of tent. i would recommend getting a model that has a seperate vestibule at the entrance, kind of like a porch that has a rain fly over it but no floor and let the dogs stay out there. Dogs in a tent is a bad news situation. Their claws tend to damage the floor and they stink the place up with their breath and damp fur. They will be plenty cozy in a good vestibule and you can attach their leashes to ground pegs to keep them from wandering but still allow them to slip out and pee without having to get up and walk them.
Campmor.com has a huge variety of quality tents at all budget levels. Look at what they have and spend at least closer to $100 for a tent that will keep you dry and hold up to use.
