TIMBER RIDGE 5 Person SUV Tent Weather Resistant Portable for Car SUV Van Camping, Includes Rainfly and Storage Bag, 10' W X 8' L X 7.1' HGlobal Recycled StandardGlobal Recycled StandardGlobal Recycled Standard

I've used this one time in good weather. It's lightweight. Solid construction. Seem to be quality zippers. I haven't tried putting it up by myself yet, but am scheming about how I'll get the rainfall on without help- maybe draping it over the top before putting the legs on.It works well for my application. The measurements of the opening were helpful in my decision to purchase.Material is light enough that it doesn't provide much in the way of sun block. Haven't tested it in a rainstorm yet.

This tent is wonderful! We put it on the back of our truck. It gave us a ton of extra room for changing and hanging out. With the mesh roof we were able to look at the stars and get fresh air. I would definitely recommend this tent for car/suv/truck campers.

I am using this tent on a cross-country trip. The photos I've added are the first place I camped.THINGS I LOVE ABOUT THIS TENT:- I was able to set it up for the first time, as a standalone tent, after mindnight, by myself. I had it up in about 15-20 minutes. I have very little camping experience and have never set a tent up before.- Wind. There has been some big wind here and the tent was solid. And quite windproof. Only when a gust came from a particular angle and got up beneath the rain fly did any of the cold air make it inside. I think this is outstanding, given that the ceiling of the tent comprises 3 mesh panels and one solid panel.- Rain. This morning it rained pretty hard and, apart from the lovely sound of the drops hitting the tent, it had no effect on my experience.- Warmth. Currently, I'm at a site with an electrical hookup. Using a small heater (Dreo, also purchased on Amazon), it is entirely comfortable. Sometimes **too** warm! It's been getting down into the mid-to-low 30s (ºF) at night, so I think that's pretty great. I haven't even had to break out my heavy-duty sleeping bag yet. Just a blanket and a ground pad. Granted, it's a warm blanket. On the warmer nights, in the 50s (ºF), just a Therma Rest camp blanket (the kind you can put around your shoulders, etc., a one person blanket) has been plenty.- Comfort. The spacious dimensions of this tent are great. No floor area is lost to sharp angles. I have me, my large dog, work materials, and lots of stuff I'm sorting through while deciding what to take with me on my trip, it's more than enough room. (On the other hand, I have no idea how five people could sleep in here, unless it was sardine can-style.)- Heavy duty Velcro, where Velcro is used.- A totally unexpected Velcro-ed opening at the lower left of the front of the tent for running a power cord inside!THINGS I LIKE ABOUT THIS TENT:- 6 mesh pockets on the walls for storing small things.- The windows and door screen flaps are easy to roll into the space between the bottom of the zippers and the actual bottom of the window.- The windows and door screen only roll down to waist height, which is a nice privacy enhancer.- The structure of the ceiling means that using an indoor stove, such as a Vesta (also purchased on Amazon), is easy and does not require stove pipes or a stove jack. **note: the Vest burns small cans of fuel that are purported to release little-to-no carbon monoxide, but I would not feel comfortable using it in a completely sealed tent**- Useful loops and loop-and-toggle in convenient places. You could hang a lantern from the middle top of the ceiling with the sturdy hook provided. I was able to string the lights you see in one of the pictures by connecting them to loops in the upper corners. Etc. There is still one loop, made of the tent fabric, on the outside upper left of the door, for which I have not figured out a purpose, but can think of a number of ways to make use of it.- The many thoughtful details make it possible to set up and rearrange things as best suits your needs.- The tent stakes go in easily, are very easy to clean when they come out, and have a solid construction.THINGS THAT COULD USE IMPROVEMENT:- The zipper along the bottom of the door does not have great clearance for the small piece fabric meant to block wind, etc., where the two zippers meet. It's a bit annoying to have to take several tries to get it closed without catching the fabric.- Since I am *not* attaching it to my car at this time, the part of the tent that becomes the linking tunnel are awkwardly situated on the outside of the tent. If you look at the first photo, you can see it kind of billowing out and obscuring the window/door on that side. The night time photo shows how I tried to roll it up.There are no directions for the standalone function included with the tent—despite the fact that it was an advertised feature when I purchased it—so I searched online for directions or videos for how to stow it when not in use. I found nothing. So, I rolled them up as best I could figure out, given where there are loop-and-toggle structures on the outside of the tent. BUT, I could not find a way to do so that doesn't create ample opportunities for water, detritus, and insects to get inside and stay there.I want to believe that there is a way to stow it neatly and in a way that prevents these intrusions, but haven't figured it out, or a way to find out. I think the best option would be if it zipped on and off, or had a pouch it could be zipped into on each side and the bottom.- The instructions. The instruction card is made of durable material, but gives so little information as to be almost comical. When I tried, some months ago, to set the tent up by using them, I failed even after an hour and forty-five minutes of trying. I think the reason it went up so quickly this time, is that I didn't use the instructions. I looked at the components and put it together. The first time, I put the rain fly up 180º opposite of how it is meant to be, because neither the instructions nor my mind could figure out where the pole for the doorway goes. [Hint: it's not attached to the door or tent. It's a pocket on one edge of the rain fly.]. And, as I said, it offers no information about how to use the tent as a standalone, not connected to your vehicle. And, as a novice, one thing I really notice missing is instructions on how to fold it to get it back in the bag.- The 6 mesh pockets on the wall would benefit from a center-top Velcro attachment. I plan to add one to each.- Finding a way to contact the company is very difficult. One can find a mailing address, but, so far, I have not found a phone number. I want to call them to ask about how to stow the car attachment when not in use. <sigh>All in all, I think this tent provides good value for money, so far. Time will tell how the fabric coating holds up, etc., but I think my cross-country trip home is going to be really pleasant with this tent. It's so spacious that I doubt I will ever connect it to my car. There's really no reason to, at this time. If I were in a heavy duty mosquito environment, it might be more appealing, though. This is late October, and I'm in the northern half of the country, so mosquitos are not very present. I am happy with this purchase.

Easy and fast setup. Tall height. Easy to attach to vehicles. A few concerns: design flaw with zipper placement of front door is forced to the bottom, allowing raccoons to easily get in, eating our food. Unwelcoming surprise. I worry about the car exhaust may melt the fabric so I placed a board there.Otherwise very happy.

Excellent tent. Instructions weren't the greatest but easy enough to figure out. Roomy and stayed dry on a rainy night. We love having a screen for a projector. It will need to be ironed out though.

I have yet to camp with this tent but I was able to set it up by myself in 30 minutes. The instructions were easy to follow.

I rarely leave reviews, but this one forced my hand. The tent setup instructions are vague. For example, there are numerous bottom clips that are not referenced in the provided instruction manual. The suction cups attached to the glass on a Tesla Model Y (cleaned with Windex and a paper towel) had issues adhering to the glass and the suction did not come with any adhesive to assist in suction either. One of the two suction cups DID NOT work at all. While at the campsite, I had to find a way to clip it to my frunk hood since the suction cup did not work, so I used the other suction cup on the other side.Additionally, it ripped on the backdoor opening after an extremely windy evening. This could be due to the suction cup not working, so the attachment was slightly lower in the front windshield than designed. Overall, this tent has great potential, but they should do a better job at quality control before their product is shipped out. Including explicitly detailed instructions would be helpful and avoid any guessing and issues.
