Eureka! Apollo 9 Dome Tent

Eureka! Apollo 9 Dome Tent

 

 This tent is very large. I was looking at the Eureka Tetragon tent and it had lots of reviews about the zipper. With this being a new model i thought I'd try it maybe they fixed the zipper. So far I only put it up once in back yard for back yard camp-out with my 3 year old boy. Its not hard to put up. i did it by myself in about 10 minutes. Although its no-where near as easy as my old 25 year old Timber-line triangle type tent was. The color isn't orange as pictures show. Its more a brownish color. A 5'11" person stood straight up in the middle and didn't touch the head. Its very tall. Thats the hardest part to put up as I'm a short 5'6". It has build in hanging pockets and aditional not built in. I also bought the floor saver ( medium square ). It all fit back in the storage bag together. Little plastic stakes will be replaced soon. Rain fly has 6 tether points and only includes 2 tie downs and stakes for it. Need 4 more. OK about the zipper... Being a new model i hoped it was a fixed issue from the tetragon tent. Wrong.. Zipper requires 2 hands and still gets caught. Would I recommend it? Sure, but id still rather have my old timber-Line. i plan to get 25 years out of this one. Built nice. I just like the triangle tents.
