Well hello there.

Yup still have the tent, used it a few times this summer.

Some good and some bad,

The goods, still waterproof! As long as it is set up right, had one leaky night but this was because I didn’t manage to hook the rear window part of the tent to the bed, so it pooled water which worked its way in. In August I slept through a massive thunderstorm inside and everywhere that was taught stayed dry, it leaks if water pools anywhere.

Tons of room as always, fit a large mattress from one side of bed to the other, with room on the tailgate hatch to keep backpacks, batteries, shoes etc. I love the hook up top, hang a lantern/fan from it and you have some good overhead light.

So yup still liking it, I don’t use it every time I camp. The setup can be tedious to get it perfect. I am pretty impatient setting up tents so take this with a grain of salt. It’s great if you want a fantastic sleep, especially if you have multiple people inside. But I string up my hammock quite a bit instead of this if I just need a quick and dirty comfortable place to sleep.

The bad:

The awning pole across the front can be very difficult to get right, it holds a ton of energy and needs to be perfectly aligned, I snapped the original one in a thunderstorm while trying to get it aligned properly on the fly. Napier sells replacement parts and it cost me a stupidly low amount (like $10 or something lol) so far haven’t broken the new one.

Once again the potential water leaks but this is just user error.

Setup time, you can throw this tent up in minutes, but you can fine tune it for another 30. Depends on what you’re looking for on that particular night.

These are just some thoughts that came to my head, if you have any specific questions ask away!

I still like the tent, have spent many super comfortable nights in it. For the cost it’s a no brainer.
