I bought one of these after our mongo huge Eureka leaked so much that I had wrung a towel out into a bucket and more than filled it. Thats over 5 gallons. THIS tent, however, has withstood about three weeks worth of active camping and another month in my backyard (the kids were using it on and off and we just left it up). We got rained on hard with pretty decent wind on the North Rim of the Grand Canyon for 3 days. No problem with the tent. Obviously no problem through other uneventful camping. We live in Houston and you all know how much rain we get, but you might not know how hard it actually rains here. It rains so hard that I end up in the yard digging trenches so that the ground wont saturate down to the roots of our largest trees. Scared they will topple on the house. We have so much rain that last year during a storm (it lasted for days and days) that I drained 2 ft of water out of the pool and then had to do it again only to have it fill again. 4 ft of rain in 3 days. The tent was NOT set up for this rain, however, it has withstood rains like that for shorter periods of time in the backyard. Its a champ. After such good luck with the first one we bought I bought a second.
What else..? Its super simple to set up. 5 minutes, easy. The rainfly just clips in place. Awesome.
When you want to put it away you dont have to take special care to roll it up just right. The stuff sack it comes with is pretty large and has two sides to it. One side gets the pokey stuff ( poles ...

Love this tent. Great for 2 people with lots of room for our stuff!

Great tent and vestibule! Just started car camping again and base camp has been upgraded nicely. Roomy with lots of storage pockets and height to stand up inside.

Havnt gotten to use it yet but looks great! I've used the big house 6 a friend had which is what led me to buy the big house 4. Can't wait to camp with my new tent!

nice tent, mucho goodo tent, me berry happy wife dis tent

Delivery was as promised. Tent assembles easily, plenty of pockets. Have been camping once, rained heavily and there were no leaks. The fly could project farther out over the front door so no water drips in the base of the door. Only other issue is that there are no separate screens for either front or back door, just a small screen inserted in the front door. Ventilation is great so it wasn't a huge issue. Good value for the money.

My husband and I were looking for a tent to get out there and do some cushy car camping. The BigHouse 4 looked like just the tent for us. Plenty of space, enough room to stand up in and loads of pockets. The ease of set up plus the fact that it was made by the mother of all tent companies made it the obvious choice. The first time we used it we got poured on for 48 straight hours (so much for cushy car camping) but we stayed dry and comfortable in the tent the whole time. We are looking forward to years of adventures in our new home away from home. We’d recommend this to anyone looking for a high quality base camp tent. CampSaver’s service was top notch as well! They price matched and even threw in a free footprint! I will definitely be shopping here again.

Needed a base camp tent that didn't feel crowded. My wife and I have plenty of room to stand up and sprawl out

this tent is easy to set up and take down and fits well in its original carry bag. I am 5' 11" and am able to stand up in this tent to get dressed which is a big deal with me. Could not be happier with this purchase.

I loved how easy this tent was to put together... but it is not a 4 person tent if you have several or any members over 6 feet tall.
