GARDIMAX 6 Person SUV Tent for Camping, Double Layer PU3000mm and UPF 50+ UV Waterproof Car Tents, Includes Rainfly and Storage Bag

The original delivery date was 2 days ago, but I received the tent today 2 days late. I already own and have used several tents. However, some tents felt small, and some tents were good in the summer because the wind came in strong, but they were not usable in the winter because they were cold. Some tents were low, so it was difficult to move around inside the tent. However, after receiving and setting up this tent, I think it covers all the shortcomings of all my previous tents. First of all, I can set up and fold the tent without much difficulty by myself. It is wide enough that I could put a mattress on a queen-size bed and still have enough space. And it is designed so that it can be used in the cold winter by closing the window blinds inside the tent. (In fact, this was the main reason I bought this tent this time. I tried using a tent that covers the entire tent with a rain fly, but it took a long time to set up and fold it up, and it was difficult to do it by myself.) Above all, I am satisfied because the height is high enough. There is also a small zipper hole that allows me to put the wires inside the tent from the outside, so it is suitable for my purpose. (In winter, I plan to close all the tent windows except for a few ventilation holes and use a diesel heater. I will need a hole to insert the electric cord.) There are only two things that are disappointing. Most of the tent's seams are waterproofed, but the windows on the other three sides, except for the door, do not have waterproof tape. I think the manufacturer did not attach waterproof tape because they were thinking of covering the rainfly when it rains. Second, I am not sure how well the tent will withstand strong winds since it is tall. I have not used the tent for real camping yet, but it has almost all the elements that I want. Overall, I am satisfied. I will give it 5 stars. I will use it when I go camping at the Giant Canyon Watchman Campground next week.

Shipping was fast and delivered as promised. We tried setting up the tent in the back yard first to get some practice. Instructions on one sheet printout covered all the important steps but are a bit sparse overall. There are drawings but a bit more detail, tips and tricks, could come in handy for some folks. Tried to set it up by myself which worked ok until lifting and setting the poles. A second set of hands helps relieve a lot of stress on the poles. Overall quick and easy to set up. Quality seems good, not flimsy. Planning on a long weekend on the beach in Nov. Will update afterward.

We finally managed to get it positioned and was nice and roomy and seemed well made enough for us. Doors on both sides a big plus since most only have one side door which creates an issue at some campsites. However, we could not quite get the underneath section where it connects to the car to stay up. Probably operator error. Our truck is a standard lift 4th Gen 4-Runner Limited and I think it would have worked but it was just too much fuss for us. Sadly, returned it. Rated it 4 stars because it would probably work well for younger folks.

Designed as described. Delivered on time. Spacious and comfortable. I especially like the elastic fit around the hatchback.

I didn't get the nails for fixing the tent to the ground. The tent also ripped when I was giving the "wind rope" a shake to get rid of water on the tent. Did not rip a hole though. Other than that, the tent was nice.
