This tent is super cool. It has met all expiations and then some. If you want to hold a cold one while you watch the tent put itself up get the optional 2 stage electric pump. Or if you want a little workout opt for the included hand pump. It takes about 10 -15 minutes to set it up with the hand pump. It is the easiest tent ive EVER set up . All you have to do is steak it down, blow it up and you are done. Im sure its way faster with the electric pump. All materials are high quality and are made very well. The structural integrity is amazingly sturdy with the air ribs. Along with the rooms being a nice size, removable and having a large common space with plenty of head room. Very well designed.
I plan on giving this tent a full test @ Burning man 2013 )’(.
With this said I had to modify this nice tent so we wouldn’t cook in the desert heat that promises temps reaching way over 100 degrees. So 1st off I installed a custom air conditioner boot that houses a window 10500 BTU AC. That runs of auxiliary power. Also I made custom heat shield that covers 70 degree of the tent. Then with that in place covered the whole tent with a really heavy military camo net. This tent DOESN’T EVEN BUDGE!!! I test it in 100 degree weather with the AC and all the modifications and was able to get the core temperatures down to 68 degree.....pretty amazing….I would say 2 thumbs up in my book.
Also I would like to add that I was sent the wrong tent in error. Customer services made sure that I got the right tent I ordered in a reasonable amount of time. Thank you Kampa for the great tent and customer service.
