When we camp, it is my BF, 11 yr old son, and myself and my BF just doesn't have the skill for setting up tents...lol so it is kind of hard for me to manage it almost alone. I just bought one of Blackpine Sports' Turbo Tents. It has a little more floor space and should be a snap to set up. I can't wait to try it out but my BF hurt his back so it will have to wait a few weeks. I was just curious if you had any quick tips/tricks to setting up the Eurekas

So sorry for the delay--have not visited in quite a while. Yes, the bigger tents--no matter what the brands--are more of a pain to put up, and tear down, actually. The biggest trick is to leave the tent spread out and flat until all of the fiberglass poles are through the sleeves, Once they are, THEN start securing the footings and snugging up the tents along the poles.
The big Eurekas also b-a-r-e-l-y fit on the Texas State Parks pads, that are about 16' squared.
