Howdy all!
(Quickly on a side note I posted an introduction, but it never posted?)
So I am a car camper mostly, I often pull a boat with me so it makes hike camping a rarity. That said my wife and I are looking to replace a 10 year old tent now that we have a BIG dog to share it with. Coming from a Coleman 6 man dome (HA 6 people if they are VERY close friends!) which has been a good tent for us but there would not be room for our queen air mattress our gear and our new 60 lb shepherd mix Maggie. It had a 9 X 11 X 6ish foot print and we don't want to go HUGE (ok my wife doesn't) so I have narrowed it down to 2 possible replacements.
The Coleman Elite Evanston 8 dome 12 X 12 X 6 footprint.
or
The Eureka Tetragon 10 dome 12 X 14 X 6.6 footprint.
The Coleman has some bells and whistles, the Eureka has a bigger foot print. I can get either for about the same $.
Any opinions? (And I know generally Eureka is thought higher of than Coleman but Coleman has been a good tent for me for most of my life. - So let me know your thoughts based on size, amenities and personal experience)
Thanks everybody!
Scott
