Prior to this year, I hadn't been camping for about 27 years. This year I've spent over 180 days car tent camping. Every tent I've had has failed and been replaced with an upgrade. The previous record being about 3-4 months for the Coleman Signature Instant 4-man tent (excellent value by the way). My current tent is a Kodiak Deluxe Flex-Bow 10 X 10. After a little over three month, it too is giving up the ghost. I was really hoping that it would last longer for its price point. But the canvas hasn't handled the high humidity and frequent rains of the south-eastern US and is having some major issues.
Where do I go from here? Anything significantly more durable than a Kodiak Canvas for wet weather? I'm considering a Cabela's XWT but there is no Cabela's nearby for me to check it out. Also it looks like a pain to setup and take down. Any opinions on this tent? Any other recommendations?
