Gazelle Tents™, T4 Plus Hub Tent, Easy 90 Second Set-Up, Waterproof, UV Resistant, Convertible Screen Room, Removable Floor, Ample Storage Options, 4-8 Person, Sunset Orange, 78" x 94" x 165", GT450SS

Best tent I've ever bought thus far.I'm not an extreme outdoor adventurist but do like camping and do a good amount of primal camping. This tent is a perfect fit for me and my wife. I like a big tent. I'm 6'3" so I want tents that I can stand up in like this one. It's super easy to setup. Just pop the 4 sides out. The the back. The the 2 top. It's as easy as just pushing and or pulling out. Material of tent is thick. Not like the thin nylon ones you get at the store. All corners are reinforced, deep floor tub and when you put on the fly there will definitely not be any water coming in. I like the front room. It's our changing room and I really like the front door. 1 thick/durable zipper up the middle and a quality made Velcro on the bottom. Easy to get in and out. Stakes are a little cheap so I bought some nice ones separately. It's a unique looking tent and we get a lot of compliments on it. And a lot of questions.

The media could not be loaded. I can’t recommend the Gazelle T4 Hub Tent highly enough! This tent is an absolute game-changer, boasting top-notch quality and features that made our trip both comfortable and hassle-free. Setting it up was a breeze—thanks to its intuitive hub design, we had it ready in minutes without any frustration. Cleaning was just as easy, with durable, high-quality materials that wiped down quickly and packed away neatly.A standout bonus tip for anyone camping in hot weather: we faced mid-90s temperatures, but using a portable AC unit in the sleeping area, paired with the tent’s rain hood for ventilation, kept us cool and comfortable all night long. The spacious interior and thoughtful design made it feel like a home away from home. I wholeheartedly recommend the Gazelle T4 Hub Tent to any camper looking for reliability and comfort. I’m already looking forward to our next adventure with it!Update: love it even more - on second trip, was absent minded, put on lower area. Heavy rain came day three, I was in a pond! Absolutely no water inside. The high floor wall seams were phenomenal. Not sure how high, maybe 4-6 inches, but it saved me. Really enjoying this tent!!!

Here’s my upfront disclaimer: This is being written by a first time, solo user of the Gazelle T-4 Plus. It rambles from first time setup at home to a week of comfy winter camping punctuated by a nasty one night wind and rain storm.There is humor in the first time set up at home. The 90 seconds from out of the bag to set up as shown on multiple videos….not quite. More like 45 minutes – reading instructions and then trying to apply that to actual set up; orienting the tent, miscues on the set up (front is back/ back is front and so on…), learning all of the nuances by trial and error; it all took time. (I ended up marking the front and back of both the tent and the fly for quicker orientation.)Now that said, once the tent is up it is spectacular. The material is top notch, the space is perfect; kind of the Taj Mahal of tent camping. I am glad I did a first few dry runs in the yard. With practice, practice, practice; the tent will go up pretty easy in around 10 minutes. The second time setting up in the yard took about 20 minutes with some reference to instructions. The third practice setup took about 10 minutes with no reference to instructions. Take down also got easier with practice.Now for the field review: After clearing a spot at the campground, finding the right orientation, getting the groundcover down, the tent went up in about 10 minutes. As a solo user, make sure to stake the tent on the opposite side of the hub you’re going to pop first otherwise you’ll simply pull the tent without the hub popping out. The total set up time including installing the front screen room poles, staking and guying the fly was close to 25 minutes.This was winter camping with nighttime temps dipping into the high 20s. So I really only used the back bedroom. It was large enough to accommodate an inflatable twin bed with headboard and a night stand, and still have plenty of room for undressing at night. A 1,500 watt electric heater kept the room comfy warm. I found that lining the top of the tent with a thin Mylar sheet reflected the rising heat back into the tent, keeping the interior at about 65/68 degrees.That made for some cozy, comfy nights.But then a storm hit one night – and hit with vengeance. The tent was pummeled by sustained winds of 35 mph for seven hours with guts hitting 40 and 45 mph. (Confirmed later with National Weather Aervice.) That raging wind also drove periodic rain squalls. Despite the wind-driven rain and a wounded rain fly, the inside stayed dry if not somewhat disheveled because of the wind rocking the tent.It was the wind, not the rain that was the villain. It hit the tent hard; again and again. Despite all best efforts to secure the tent during the initial set up, the tent bucked and heaved under the constant assault by the wind. The roof hubs popped down a number of times, and one or two of the side wall hubs popped in as well; but were easily popped back into place. The wind wrenched one of the poles connecting the fly to the tent so I had to jerry rig a tie down for that corner of the fly and later get a replacement fly pole. The storm knocked the tent at least 6 degrees off its original orientation.Now all of that said: the tent resisted a knockout punch. I am certain that any department store tent would have been torn to shreds by these winds and collapsed within the first hour of the windy onslaught. So it confirms the material in the Gazelle is tough, the craftsmanship first-rate and offers a protective shelter.Invest in the Gazelle footprint for the tent. It’s a perfect match and the material is durable. Replace the supplied stakes with longer, steel spike-type stakes. Add a layer of insulation to the interior floor by using tarps lined on one side with Mylar material. Get a second Velcro cinch strap to hold the collapsed tent tight for easier return to the carrying bag. (Tent comes with one but a second one makes life so much easier.)I’d also suggest watching as many videos of set up and take down of the tent as possible – you can pick up a lot.
