Easy Pop Up Waterproof Tent for 4 People Instant Setup with 2 Doors

This tent was a WHOLE EXPERIENCE and an adventure all on its own. We pulled into a KOA in Shreveport Louisiana about an hour before the sun went down. It took me about 2 minutes to pull the tent out of my car because we were packed in really tight. 11 seconds to unzip, and POP, the tent narrowly missed my face and up it was! Another 2 minutes to tie down and we were good to go! I am not mechanically inclined in any sort of way, and my brain does not automatically get how things move or fold sometimes. If you’re like me, please read on. The next morning, I figure we’ll do all the things before packing up, so I make a quick snack breakfast for.me and the kid, pack up all the electronics and food, and around 9:45 AM, I start to put the tent away. I understand basically how this should work, so I wrestle the tent to the ground and… 10:00AM I’m getting frustrated enough that my daughter runs over from the playground to ask if I’m ok. Of course I’m ok, I’m just learning the tent. 10:15 AM I throw the lightweight, waterproof wondertent for the first of several times. My windshield sunshield folds just like this. Surely, I can make it happen. 10:30 AM I’m sweaty, pi$$3d off and ready to scream. I’ve sat on the dam thing, wrestled it every way I can think of, and EVEN READ THE INSTRUCTIONS by this point. 10:45 AM I sit down to pause for a few.momenta and smoke a cigarette. YouTube might have the answer. OMG YouTube has the answer. I watch the videos of people doing this alone each 3-4 times. 11:05 AM I should have checked out five.minutes ago but here we go! Attempted several times, then rewatched one video in slow motion, and got it! We were out of there by 11:45 ������ The next morning, after camping in Dallas, it took me about 10-15 minutes to pull up stakes and close it up. It took me 2-3 tries to close it this time. It rained the night before, and I had to shake off the tent (very easy) nd wipe it down a bit because my tarp was wet, too. We stayed dry all night and the wind didn’t bother us at all. Was a lovely experience! This tent is absolutely fantastic and now that I know how to fold it, I’ll be loving it even more! Moral of the story: practice putting the tent away BEFORE you go camping, and watch videos if you need it. Don’t be late checking out of a campground because you’re too stubborn to take the time beforehand ��.
