I've been in search of a new family tent since our old coleman tent had worn out a year or so ago. Back in March I ordered the Browning Big Horn family cabin tent off Amazon, been wanting this tent for 2 to 3 years, I live around Lake Arrowhead State park near Wichita Falls Tx., we went camping 1st weekend of April which it poured rain Saturday night and Sunday. I told my wife that it would be a good time to test out if it was waterproof. This is an awesome 10 x 15 tent, both daughters and wife love the tent, did not leak except for what water got in during set up. Went to Lowes and bought two 6 x 8 ft rolls of cheap carpet to put under each queen air mattress and a 10 x 15 ground cover from Amazon (11mil). On taking down tent Monday after camping tent pole came apart, called Browning and with 2 days had another pole delivered free of charge to the front porch, and I still have the old pole as a standby pole. The tent is not the high dollar tents most talk about here but for our needs we love it. I'm especially great full that they stand by their product, 100% warrantee on defects.
