So I think the selling points for me are the easy up with no construction as well as the durability of construction. But after watching your video re buying the walls... well this is a game changer. So it might be speedy but honestly, you are getting huge flexibility of use here. It can be just a screen tent or can completely convert to a tent, thereby adding an extra sleeping/changing or even shower/potty area if needed. I am sold!

Great review! Had the issue with sunny days making the tent HOT. Made quick work of that problem by making what I call a "Sun-Fly" I put over the tent made out of mylar. I have a 3 minute video showing it on my channel for anyone who might be interested. My next project will be to make a side panel or two out of the same mylar to better protect the side of the tent that would get the most sun exposure. Now even in direct sun, I can enjoy the same temperature inside the tent as I would under the full shade of a tree! It's been a game changer for our camping in the summer!

JK’s Adventures So you use one of the panels in front of the door? Did you attach it too the top with sewn on velcro? Or is there a flap at the doorway on this model? I watched a video on the Venture with 5 sides and the zipper doorway did not have any flap for rain and the person doing the video put another panel on the door area but she had no way of attaching it too the top and the rain was coming in. That is the reason for my questions. There are just two of us and we would like something smaller but we still want it to keep out the rain. I know that you can buy rain flys for the Escape and Pavilion Models that go on the top to make them more water proof.

@Brett_S

2 жыл бұрын

This one is the quickset escape which is slightly smaller than the pavillion. You are correct, the pavillion is the one with the panels built into the structure. The pavillion is slightly larger at 12'6" wall to wall while the one in the video (escape) is roughly 11'6" wall to wall. One more thing to consider if you are getting the escape, only the brown/tan version has a rain flap that extends down over the panels, the other colors are missing this flap and will allow rain behind the panels. Basically if you look above the mesh windows and you see the velcro attachment points the flap is missing.....if you can't see the velcro the flap is there and covering it and will overlap the panels when installed. Edit: it looks like some of the other colors now have the rain flap, make sure to do the research so the one you are getting does include it as old stock could change that.

They sell one with all the walls attached, cost and weight a bit higher. You have to deal with all the walls, every time, either rolling them up or down; when setting up, finding the pull straps through the side takes a minute or two longer. We rarely have them all down, but don’t have to find and attach each one either (and can’t lose them). We love it. We find we need to stake out a panel or two into the wind, or those panels can pop in ( just push them back out, it does not collapse. We tied a cord to the center top, to hang a light; we also use it to pull the center down when taking it down (I am 5’11” and can’t reach it). We highly recommend it, great quality!
