Large Cabin Style Tent

[SicEmBaylor]

People of Earth:

I need some assistance in finding the largest possible "cabin style" tent for about $350.00 or less. The bigger the better, and ideally it would have multiple rooms.

Mucho Gracias.

I just browsed that site and You may well get one fer cheap, Ya may have to drive aways tho.

Not military. They're a pain in the *** to setup, and they don't have floors. I'm looking for the most comfortable experience possible.

This is my old tent: https://fbcdn-sphotos-d-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/4875_95050008483_6491034_n.jpg
Something along those lines although, ideally, it'd be at least 12x12. I need enough room for a queen sized bed, some shelving, a desk, a love seat, and all of my gear.

[olevetonahill]

Then Craigs kist if ya want used , Cabellas if ya want new

What is the intended use? You can't post something like that without giving us some background...

To sleep in.

D-Day. I require a LOT of space in order to be comfortable since I'm out there for a week. I liked that Coleman, but it was stolen by the ethnics in Vicksburg when I was drying it out on the lawn. I then got a Coleman Instant which was easier to setup, but it wasn't big enough.

Again, I need/want a lot of space.


I don't camp -- I glamp.

[SicEmBaylor]

I like the size and form factor of this tent: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Large-Tunnel-Tent-20-Person-10-Room-Spacious-Family-Camping-Hiking-Outdoor-Hunt-/191048460831

However, it's outside of my price range, doesn't have a floor, and it's a bit too utilitarian for my tastes. It also doesn't have an AC port.

[SicEmBaylor]

This is the top contender at the moment:
http://www.walmart.com/ip/Ozark-Trail-16-x-16-Cabin-Dome-Tent-Sleeps-12/20531614

It would allow me to have a 'gear room', bedroom, and office for my desk and entertainment area.

How in the holy ****in hell have you survived this long?

Be sure and read the reviews. I always start with the worst ones, the 1-stars, to see why those people didn't like it and go from there.

Stay in a hotel. You get all that and running water.

Just get an OU canopy and a couple of tow sacks, ya ****'n *****.

He has to have room for his butler and personal Chef.

[KantoSooner]

He's leaving the masseuse at home this time? And the girl who warms his cognac between her breasts? Damn, he is going hardcore outdoorsman.

He will get that when Mommy comes and tucks him in at night.

[KantoSooner]

Who is this 'Mommy' and where do I contract for her services?

[olevetonahill]

His REAL Mommy. Not sure if she wants anymore Kids to baby.

[KantoSooner]

Damn.

I thought it was one of those services like you can call if you're in a new town and really crave a demanding disciplinary session with a stern school teacher type.

[8timechamps]

To sleep in.

You're *this* close to getting pimp slapped.

I forgot about your D-day activity. For a moment, I thought you were being forced to live in a tent in someone's backyard. THAT would have been a little funny...and a little sad.

[diverdog]

This is what I slept in this past weekend.

I think his Mommy was a school teacher. So who knows

By avoiding hard physical work, roughing it in the wild, and going out into the sunlight.

I like being with my unit. It's a lot more fun that way. Besides, Wyandotte is overrun with quality inns.

He has to have room for his butler and personal Chef.
The unit has its own chef/cook, so she can stay at home on these trips.

His REAL Mommy. Not sure if she wants anymore Kids to baby.
She definitely doesn't.

I'd drown myself first.

Nein -- my mother was never a school teacher. She worked for Merrill Lynch before becoming a 'stay at home' mom.

[olevetonahill]

She still raised a ****ed up kid!

Are we referring to something else or merely the fact that I want to be comfortable while I camp in the middle of nowhere for 7 days?

Your Walmart tent has very poor reviews.
Just get an RV and be done with it.

The reviews on this one aren't bad:
http://www.sears.com/northwest-territory-vacation-home-10-person-tent/p-00627622000P

I've thought about renting an RV in the past, but the RV section is separated from my unit's designated area and I like being with my unit. Besides, we drink a LOT and I don't want to stumble all the way back to the RV section in the pitch black while drunk. Out.

[diverdog]

[SicEmBaylor]

Do yourself a favor and look at the Trekker 20 x 16 tent at Cabelas. They are on sale for 299.00.
I saw that one earlier. I like it a lot. I wish there were better pics of the interior though.

I changed my post.

My big family tent from Cabelas looks like it is discontinued. We really like it and had no problems. The problem with a lot of family tents is they do not hold up in a storm. I have seen colemans come apart. The Cabelas outfitter tents are well made but expensive.

[diverdog]

Trust me on this.... Hammocks are the way to go. I love my hammock and if I could hang it in my bedroom I would.

Diver, what brand hammock and underquilt do you have?

Sicem, Wenzel seems to have a lot tent options in your range.

An example...

Hammock is a Clark NX 250
Hammock insulation: Clark baffles
Under quilt: Jacks are Better MT Washington
Sleeping bag: Western Mountaineering 0 degree
plus two army wool blankets, Hennessey hammock heat reflector and reebock activity mat. It was cold.

If my wife cost it out I am a dead man.

[Flagstaffsooner]

Do you need a bidet in that tent?

[olevetonahill]

Hey Sic! If you woke up in your tent at D Day with a condom hanging out of your ***, would you tell anyone?

[SicEmBaylor]

Not firm enough for me as far as back support. I use a cot that I like quite a bit.

That giant Coleman tent did pretty well in storms. One year, I think '09 or so, we had two storms blow thorugh during the week each with 60+mph wind gusts along with a torrential down pour. It held up admirably considering the rain was blowing between the rain fly and the top of the tent. I had some minor water buildup in one corner and a couple of lines snapped, but aside from that it held up fine.

I always cut all of the lines off my tent now and replace them with jute twine.

Now THAT is a hammock. This goes onto the top of the list for the next piece of gear to get! I really like that it's good down to around 32 out of the box too.

I just dropped the coin on a Hilleberg Nallo 2 tent and footprint. So it's going to be a bit.

I think it is good to 32 with the baffles/insulation. I was in it at 40 and it was a little chilli without the baffles.

Hilleberg makes great tents. I rode out a pretty serious storm in one. Years ago I had a Bibler, a single wall, bomb proof shelter. My two tents I use now are a Big Agnes and a tent from a company called Tarp Tent. I also have a cubin fiber tarp for ultra light weight camping.

If I decide on a bush craft weekend I have a German Army Flecktarn poncho shelter half that I use or a plain ole tarp.
