Wenzel Sycamore 18- by 10-Foot Seven-Person Three-Room Family Dome Tent Specifications
Spacious and weather-resistant, the Wenzel Sycamore 18-by-10-foot dome tent sleeps up to seven campers in its three rooms, making it ideal for large families or smaller families with lots of gear. The Sycamore is made of rugged, weather-repellent polyester with a polyurethane coating for reliability, helping it keep water out and warmth in. The welded polyethylene tub-style floor, meanwhile, includes a rain shingle that creates a watershed effect, so rain doesn’t seep in through the seams. And campers will love the variety of ventilation points–including three Dutch D-style doors and three polyester mesh windows–all of which are aided by an updraft ventilation system that improves the overall airflow. p The Sycamore is also quick and easy to set up, with a five-way center hub with a fast-feet-and-ring system, along with a lightweight, shock-corded fiberglass frame. And when it comes time to hit the sheets, you can either create one huge sleeping room or roll down the two divider curtains to create three separate rooms. The rooms can function as individual bedrooms for all the campers, two sleeping rooms and one living room, or any other configuration. Other details include a gear loft for storage, a removable fly with a hoop frame over the door, and ABS plastic pegs. pbSpecifications/bulliBase: 18 by 10 feet liCenter height: 74 inches liArea: 116 square feet liCapacity: 6-7 people liCarrying weight: 22 pounds liWarranty: 10 years /ulpstrongfont color=CC6600BIGAmazon.com Tent Guide/BIG/font/strongbrstrongfont color=CC6600Selecting a Tent/font/strongbr Fortunately, there are all kinds of tents for weekend car campers, Everest expeditions, and everything in-between. Here are a few things to keep in mind: pstrongfont color=CC6600Expect the Worst/font/strongbr In general, it’s wise to choose a tent that’s designed to withstand the worst possible conditions you think you’ll face. For instance, if you’re a summer car camper in a region where weather is predictable, an inexpensive family or all-purpose tent will likely do the trick–especially if a vehicle is nearby and you can make a mad dash for safety when bad weather swoops in. If you’re a backpacker, alpine climber, or bike explorer, or if you like to car camp in all seasons, you’ll want to buy something designed to handle more adversity. pstrongfont color=CC6600Three- and Four-Season Tents/font/strongbr For summer, early fall, and late spring outings, choose a three-season tent. At minimum, a quality three-season tent will have lightweight aluminum poles, a reinforced floor, durable stitching, and a quality rain fly. Some three-season tents offer more open-air netting and are specifically designed for summer backpacking or other activities. Many premium tents will also feature pre-sealed, taped seams and a silicone-impregnated rain fly for enhanced waterproofing. p For winter camping or alpine travel, go with a four-season model. Because they typically feature more durable fabric coatings, as well as more poles, four-season tents are designed to handle heavy snowfall and high winds without collapsing. Of course, four-season tents exact a weight penalty of about 10 to 20 percent in trade for their strength and durability. They also tend to be more expensive. pstrongfont color=CC6600Domes and Tunnels/font/strongbr Tents are broadly categorized into two types: freestanding, which can stand up on their own, and tents that must be staked down in order to stand upright. Freestanding tents often incorporate a dome-shaped design, and most four-season tents are constructed this way because a dome leaves no flat spots on the outer surface where snow can collect. Domes are also inherently stronger than any other design. Meanwhile, many three-season models employ a modified dome configuration called a tunnel. These are still freestanding, but they require fewer poles than a dome, use less fabric, and typically have a rectangular floorplan that offers less storage space than a dome configuration. Many one and two-person tents are not freestanding, but they make up for it by being lighter. Because they use fewer poles, they can also be quicker to set up than a dome. pstrongfont color=CC6600Size Matters/font/strongbr Ask yourself how many people you’d like to fit in your fabric hotel now and in the future. For soloists and minimalists, check out one-person tents. If you’re a mega-minimalist, or if you have your eye on doing some big wall climbs, a waterproof-breathable bivy sack is the ticket. Some bivy sacks feature poles and stake points to give you a little more breathing room. Also, if you don’t need bug protection and you want to save weight, check out open-air shelters. p Families who plan on car camping in good weather can choose from a wide range of jumbo-sized tents that will accommodate all your little ones with room to spare. A wide range of capacities is available for three- and four-season backpacking and expedition tents. Remember, though, the bigger the tent you buy, the heavier it will be, although it’s easy to break up the tent components among several people in your group. It’s also helpful to compare the volume and floor-space measurements of models you’re considering.p
Wenzel Sycamore 18- by 10-Foot Seven-Person Three-Room Family Dome Tent CustomerReview
Bottom Line:br /============br /I’ve owned this tent for almost 8 years, and it’s served me well. We’ve had no problems, aside from a broken elastic cord in the pole, but this is common with all dome tents, and was easily fixable with my tent repair kit that I always keep on hand. You will need to water proof this tent just like any other tent you buy. (Using a waterproofing spray and seam sealer.) Setup is fairly simple. I am able to do it by myself, but it is easier and faster with a partner.br /br /Other Details:br /==============br /Waterproofing:br /————–br /Unless specified on the package or product listing, no tent is waterproof, EVER. All tents must be treated and waterproofed prior to use in wet weather. Even if you waterproof, I do suggest a covering with a secure tarp if you plan on camping in areas that expect moderate to strong storms, though for knowledgeable campers, this is common sense for all tents. br /br /The fly (separate red cover) on this tent does not offer protection from elements, but it does cover a nice feature for this tent: Almost 100% of the tent under the fly is screen. This means no waking up drenched from sweat because it’s as hot as an oven in your tent under the morning sun. The screen allows for significant airflow ventilation without having to lose privacy opening the windows. br /br /Setup:br /——br /I can do it by myself with moderate struggle, but it’s easy with two people, and should be setup within 15-20 minutes for new campers. I do have some trouble securing the fly if I’m setting the tent up myself, but after practice, I’ve worked out a method that works. You will too.br /br /br /Size Quality:br /—————br /The size of this tent is nice. The 2 of us adult are able to sleep comfortably, on a king-size inflate mattress, with ample room for gear, and two large dog crates in the other “bedroom” end. With minimal gear, and sleeping bags, this tent could easily sleep 4-5 adults comfortably. br /br /I was impressed with the durability of this tent. I’m not gentle or careful with my camping gear and other than the broken pole (which again, was my fault, and a common breakage for all dome tents) there have been no problems.
