Eureka!

Tetragon NX 5 Tent: 5-Person 3-Season

Decent family car camping tent

Familiarity:

I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions

Size Bought:

5 person

This is the second eureka tetragon I have owned. This is the perfect size for 2 adults and a dog. You can stand up in it if you’re not too tall. The first one lasted about 10 years with 2-3 weeks per year of use. This one seems nice. The floor is coated nylon, not plastic which is less durable than some tents like this but as long as you use a ground cloth and take off your shoes it’s probably not an issue. We did get some leakage at the corners in a heavy rain and I have since seam sealed them. I’ll know if that problem is solved the next time we use it.

Good but not perfect

This tent is a little difficult for one person to manage but it can be done. This is a warm weather tent only there is no provision to close the roof vents. The lack of roll up portion on the rain fly limits any breeze you can get to cool the tent. The floor is of a very light material, durability is a concern. On the plus side. The tent is light enough and packs small enough to be used for motorcycle camping. It is large enough to stand up in and also has enough room for a full size folding camp chair and cot. I haven't yet figured out how to protect the floor from the chair and cot legs. I am confident that a little practice set up and take down will become much easier. Eventually I think I'll not neatly roll up the tent and fly and put them in the bag but rather simply stuff the tent and fly into my dry bag. Not having everything in the bag will allow easier and more efficient packing. All in all a good tent ant a very good price from the best brand out there. My last Eureka lasted for nearly 30 years and was used multiple weekends and an average of 5 weeks a year. It doesn't get any better than that.

Poles for the rain fly were too short.

Unfortunately, I didn’t set up the tent prior to my camping trip. The poles for the rain fly weren’t long enough to fit the pockets. Previously I had the sunrise version, the quality of this tent is way inferior. The tent is hard to set up by yourself because they don’t have sleeves to slide the poles through. I’m very disappointed and will be returning product.

Yikes!

I bought a Tetragon NX 5 tent to fit 4 in on Friday June 25th. We got to the camp site, set up, and within tent minutes one of the fiberglass poles for the rain cover broke. It has literally split down the middle like it was chopped firewood. As that happened, one of the clasps that connects the tent to the poles ripped out at the seam of the tent. Not impressed at all. I would just about give anything for an old fashioned canvass tent with aluminum poles again. Nels

The tent has great features

I bought this tent a month ago and only got to use it one time because it was stolen 2 days after this pic was takin out of my yard

Love it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Because life is better when you camp but it is even better when you have the right tent. This wonderful tent is all I was looking for. It is sturdy and of great quality. Pretty big up to 5 people fit in it. Very comfortable and easy to carry around. It is very easy to set up and have a enough space to enjoy your camping experience. Also love the fact that this wonderful tent has a hooded rain fly design and mesh windows provide cooling ventilation. Overall the quality is great! Highly recommended.
