GAZELLETents™, T4 Plus Hub Tent, Easy 90 Second Set-Up, Waterproof, UV Resistant, Convertible Screen Room, Removable Floor, Ample Storage Options, 4-8 Person, Sunset Orange, 78" x 94" x 165", GT450SS

This tent is really cool. I can put it up by myself in about 5 minutes, and that is taking my time. The set up is really a breeze. This was one of the reasons we were drawn to this tent. I can also move it by myself, but I wouldn't walk it far. It is pretty heavy. Our first trip there was a severe thunderstorm. We made sure to tie it down and put some ratchet straps over the top. It held up like a champ and there was no leakage. The zippers are exceptional. They glide well, don't get bound up and are heavy duty. The height of the tent is good for us, bit neither of us are tall. We have not used the tent and removed the floor yet. Mostly because we are concerned about how difficult it may be to reinstall it. However, the tent would be much lighter and maybe easier to carry further with out it. I like the screened room for sitting and also that the front screen room can double as just another room because there are privacy curtains on the front screen room. Take down is just as easy and it fits bag in the bag with room to spare. It can be a little tricky to figure out how to cinch and fold it at first. It is different that a standard tent, but wel worth the effort.

This thing is an absolute palace for car camping. Plenty of room to set up a small folding table and two camp chairs in the first room. Then enough room for two twin size giant air mattress in the second room. Room to stand and walk normally for anyone probably 6’2” and under. I’m 5’9” and have plenty of clearance.Quality seems pretty good. I’ve had it out 5 nights so far. 2 thunderstorms. Completely waterproof when you close storm flaps, and almost no water in the tent with most open for ventilation. I can’t speak to how many years this will last, but I think it’s worth the investment. Decent heavy duty materials. Only concern is how durable the farm parts are that pop in and out for structure, and how much they will wear in the tent fabric.Set up: Take the 30 seconds to read the directions. I skipped the first time and you will benefit from looking over them. You can set up with one person with some effort, but two makes it very easy. It is pretty heavy. I haven’t weighed it, and I’ve seen reports of 47-57 pounds. I’d say it’s in that range. And awkward to carry. That said.... For most people I think the thing takes about 5 minutes from start to finish set up. Very simple. Give yourself 10-15 minutes to break it down and get it back in the bag. It can be a challenge to get back in the bag the first few times until you understand how it folds up. Pay attention to how it unfolds when initially taking out.

We have now used this tent 5 times and enjoyed the easy of set up, the generally straight walls and the interior room. We have camped in 20 degree temps with one electric heater being enough to keep out the cold, and it held up well to blowing mountain winds. As for car camping I can’t recommend it enough, know it is heavy and takes up a fair amount of space, but worth the effort if ease and comfort are important.

The media could not be loaded. I never write Amazon reviews but I specifically remember sitting in my tent with my phone on thinking to I have to tell people how great this is! Purchased this for my husband for Father's day gift. He loves to camp but after arriving to our favorite sites in the dark, we upgraded our old tent to this easy pop up one. Amazing. No poles to find in the dark. I think it has 3 total for the extended area. Held up to heavy rain for hours. We were determined to see it through. No leaks at all. Held a queen size mattress with room on either side for items. My daughter ended up putting her single mattress next to ours during the night. It all fit well. Pockets for everything. It was humid in New Hampshire and the ventilation was more than expected. The zip down windows with the rain guard on top did the job beautifully. Finally, after the whole weekend, the other dad across from our site said he was kind of jealous at how simple our set up and take down was. I highly recommend this to families that are out for a trip or anyone that's just setting up their site and exploring the surrounding areas for adventures!

First off, this is my second tent from gazelle. I needed something slightly bigger and have some indoor space to hang out incase it rained too much. Used it for a 4 night excursion at a state park in Northern Maine. These tents are everything they say they are. The setup was super easy. It rained a couple nights and everything stayed dry. It's easy to clean out.Now the parts I didn't care for. It weighs a decent amount. You got to be fairly strong to handle. It was a little more difficult to take down and pack away. Not traditional tent take down, still much easier, but compared to the T4 it wasn't as easy. The bag it comes in is sturdy and works great, but again, it's heavy. It also takes up a ton of space folded closed. You'll need either a good sized suv, truck or sedan with seats down into cargo space. Overall though, I'd buy 10 more of these if needed.
