When we returned to camping a good number of years ago, we started in a 10X10, Coleman "SunDome" tent. Found it to be very good and well worth the price we paid for it. We used it for about 4 years until we purchased our first pop-up. Gave the tent to our son who used it for a few more years. Finally had to be thrown away as it just started falling apart from use. Prior to that, the only thing that went wrong with it was a split in one of the fiberglass poles. Wrapped it with a bit of electrical tape and went on.

All in all, I'd say the tent was a very good product that delivered what we needed. I'm sure there are better and lighter tents on the market but if your not backpacking as we were not, I can't see paying the price for it.

Hope this info helps. Welcome to Wild Texas and happy camping!
