Really pretty simple. Breaks down fast. I haven’t timed it, but it’s not dramatically different than putting it up.

I couldn’t say. I’ve had mine a few years so far, and so far so good.

It’s been a while. I remember pulling the plastic panel. Some areas were challenging due to the metal ribs of the tailgate. Not sure that answers your question.

@@robirwin9514 I guess I've got some exploring to do haha. thank you

No. The floor is removable if need be for replacement or cleaning, or even running power or heat, but is very securely attached with hook-and-loop. (I don’t know if it’s Velcro brand or not.) I have never taken it off and it has never pulled apart during use.

@@robirwin9514wow thanks for the response!!! So you leave it attached during set up and take down? Been using the same kind for years for ice fishing but they have no floors

@@efwefwef4747 Yes, the floor can be left in place all the time.

@@robirwin9514 much thanks. Might have to pull the trigger on this tent

I’m not a tent expert so I can’t offer an opinion about comparable tents. But I know more and more people with Gazelle’s who love them. The tear down is just as easy and I believe Gazelle has recently made the bag slightly larger so packing is even easier. You will love this tent.

I think it would be fine. The footprint comes up from the ground a good distance and the doors are up about the same. And the fact that it has 12 tie-down points is a real advantage on loose ground.

I’m not an expert or a gear reviewer, but these are certainly the highest quality zippers I’ve had on a tent. No problems whatsoever.

Oh, and thanks for the positive feedback!

@@robirwin9514 Excellent to hear. Thanks so much for the reply!

I have not used it in the snow. It is a very strong tent but the rain fly doesn’t have poles that run over the top of the tent, so I’m not sure how much weight it would hold.

readyme I’ve used it in the rain twice. Not very heavy rain, but more than a drizzle. And it was fine. I’d have no issues using it in the rain again. They just released an “Overland” Edition that includes a bag that looks like it should keep the tent drier when not in use, so if I were in your region I think that would be my choice.

I’m not really sure what you mean. It’s a very common feature these days, as the floor is the part subject to the most wear. My floor is holding up well. It isn’t complicated to remove the floor, but it takes time.

@@robirwin9514 i will prefere a non removable floor. I mean I leave the tent alone all day while i'm visiting a place. And someone could enter yo the tent by the floor ...

Romina Colimedaglia The floor is attached with Velcro all the way around from the inside of the tent. Also I would have the tent staked down so it would be very difficult for someone to try and take the floor away.

@@rominac.5915 I'd say if someone was looking to break into your tent they'd just cut it. Sort of the same reason people joke to never lock a soft top convertible.

Hey Donald! I'm interested in this tent too! lol

@@Rob81818 Haha...here we gather, those of us tired of sleeping in the back of our cars. :-) I swore off ground tents, but this has almost convinced me to reconsider. I've had enough of squirming around in the back of my Forester and would really just like to be able to stand up when I get dressed, LOL.

@@softroadingthewest yes! exactly my thoughts! At first its convenient sleeping in the car, no tent to setup, no need to scope for a flat leveled ground. But yes, we need more space, i recently bought a Mr Heater Buddy so i won't have to worry freezing my ass off :)

OverlandNC I really love it. I used to hear people say they liked having a tent they could stand in and I always thought that seemed silly, but it is a really nice thing. In fact one time I was out in a lot of rain and I set up my table and chair inside like an office! I also especially appreciate how sturdy it is in the wind. It’s truly a high quality piece of kit.

@@robirwin9514 thanks for the info I just ordered one

tranquility It isn’t cheap. I haven’t owned that many tents in my life, but this one is by far the highest quality and the nicest to use. I’m not sure how many years it will last, but more than several less expensive tents I’m sure.

Nev Frias they are not flush. Without measuring I would estimate they stick up in the neighborhood of one millimeter. They do not interfere with basic usage but are not 100% flush.

Tactical Survival They don’t at all. Still working well.

There are several sources online. I got mine from WalMart. The manufacturer sometimes has specials.

​@@robirwin9514 Hi Rob.....I'm pretty short at about 5 ft with no upper arm strength...how hard would it be hard to push up the interior center post for a short, weak person? thanks!

@@Dplus90l It could be tough. The manufacturer lists the inside as being 78” high. You might not have to reach 78” to put it up because it kind of “pops.” And you don’t have to reach the whole height to get it down because there’s a cord to pull. You could certainly do it (as far as your height) if you stood on something. I just tried to estimate how high my friend who’s 4’10” could reach and it was borderline. It does take a little effort. I’m afraid I can’t say for sure and you’ll just have to try it, maybe at a store or outdoor show or something. Sorry.

Luis Cal no problems at all. The phone shakes a little on the bumps since it’s on a short stalk but the mount doesn’t move at all. No noise. I rigged a USB cable behind the radio so it doesn’t dangle in the way. I love the placement, too. No interference with my line of sight over the hood or to the radio, never gets in the way of my hand when driving or operating controls and full use of the vent. I couldn’t be happier!
