Wenzel Sycamore 18- by 10-Foot Seven-Person Three-Room Family Dome Tent

Spacious and weather-resistant, the Wenzel Sycamore 18-by-10-foot dome tent sleeps up to seven campers in its three rooms, making it ideal for large families or smaller families with lots of gear. The Sycamore is made of rugged, weather-repellent polyester with a polyurethane coating for reliability, helping it keep water out and warmth in. The welded polyethylene tub-style floor, meanwhile, includes a rain shingle that creates a watershed effect, so rain doesn’t seep in through the seams. And campers will love the variety of ventilation points–including three Dutch D-style doors and three polyester mesh windows–all of which are aided by an updraft ventilation system that improves the overall airflow.

The Sycamore is also quick and easy to set up, with a five-way center hub with a fast-feet-and-ring system, along with a lightweight, shock-corded fiberglass frame. And when it comes time to hit the sheets, you can either create one huge sleeping room or roll down the two divider curtains to create three separate rooms. The rooms can function as individual bedrooms for all the campers, two sleeping rooms and one living room, or any other configuration. Other details include a gear loft for storage, a removable fly with a hoop frame over the door, and ABS plastic pegs.

Customer reviews for Wenzel Sycamore 18- by 10-Foot Seven-Person Three-Room Family Dome Tent :

“There are a few things you should know about this tent, else your expectations may not be met. If your needs match the strengths of this product, you should be plenty happy (like me), or vise versa. I found all the info I needed to decide to buy it online, with the exception of one phone call to the manufacturer. They were very helpful and honest, BTW.

They call it a 10×18, but that does not mean a 180 sqft area (I think it is more like 116 sqft). I would not take a trip knowing the weather was going to be pretty bad, with this tent. Four season tents usually cost a fortune, and my family is NOT well suited for extreme camping, so this tent works fine for us. The room ‘dividers’ are just flaps that attach at their four corners, so if you want to camp with three couples, stand by to get close (hey, its just a tent!).

Overall, for the money, it is a good value. The construction looks good and the design is fine, with one exception…

Some things I like: Three rooms, three doors, ground-level vent, mesh pockets and small access ‘doors’, generous screens, ease of setup, it fits back into the bag!!, and plenty of anchor points (large tent, high winds, you get it).
Things I would change: The rain cover leaves gaps next to the front door. If you can see screen, you stand a good chance of getting wet. The two side ‘rooms’ are fairly small. This works for kids, but adults may find it cramped.

Everyone’s needs vary, so know what you are buying and making a decision of what to buy should be simple. enjoy.”

Jeep 18×10 7-Person Family Dome Tent

Can’t get enough of your Jeep? Well now you can sleep in a Jeep as well–a Jeep tent, that is. This seven-person Jeep family dome tent–made by the same company that sells the Cherokee and Wrangler–offers plenty of room for your family, with a whopping 127 square feet of interior space and up to three separate rooms. As a result, you can enjoy more privacy than with a single dome tent, or your family can sleep in two rooms while storing your gear in a third. Not surprisingly for a Jeep product, the tent is sturdy and well built, with a color-coded fiberglass frame for easy setup, 800m polyester walls, four guyout points on the fly for stability in the wind, and a sonic-welded polyethylene floor that prevents moisture from seeping in. And crucially for a seven-person tent, the Jeep shelter includes a four-corner ventilation system to keep things from getting too stuffy inside.

The tent also offers several handy extras, including a gear loft and two closets for storage, an integrated mud mat that helps keep the tent floor clean, and a sweep-out doorsill for easy cleaning. Other features include a versatile embossed rainfly with taped seams that also doubles as a standalone shade canopy; four inside-zip windows with mesh screens; and one reversed U-style door. The Jeep tent–which offers an 18-by-10-foot footprint, standing height of 84 inches, and a carrying weight of 31 pounds–is backed by a 10-year warranty.

Customer reviews for Jeep 18×10 7-Person Family Dome Tent :

“i just recieved this tent for my birthday for a 3 day camping trip for memorial weekend. first thing i did was a test set up. very easy setup. could be done with one person if necessay, but easier with two. first thing i noticed after the size was the lack of any dividers. it’s large enough for three rooms, and set up that way, but there are no room dividers nor any attachments for such. shouldn’t be called a three room tent if it’s not seperated. this is why it’s only four stars. lots of storage space inside in pockets and loft. also neat little closets on the exterior for shoes and stuff that you want to keep dry, but don’t want to bring in the tent itself. i will post an add on review after the trip this weekend.”

“Pros: -Tough floor material, not the polyester stuff.
-Lots and lots of space, with plenty of headroom
-Nice fly
-Lots of little storage spots for all that stuff in your pockets. Nice to have a place to keep a flashlight in reach for those midnight bathroom runs.
-Sturdy. First time I used it we caught the north side of a major storm system, and it barely fluttered. For a tent this big, it was impressive.

Cons: -Seam along middle of side room ceilings, leaks fairly bad. Water tends to collect on top. Definitely needs seam sealer, maybe add a guy line to keep ceiling taut and prevent pooling.
-Not the quickest set up in the world, but that’s not really a surprise just by looking at it. Just hope you don’t have to set it up trying to beat a T-storm rolling in.
-First one was missing a coupling for the poles. Had to have Amazon ship a whole new tent, which had all the pieces. Great response from Amazon. Originally they wanted me to contact the manufacturer, but that’s Chrysler, and considering their recent troubles, do you really think you’re going to get that part anytime in the next year? The number they gave me was the main service number for the company. Maybe going to a dealer and trying to order direct that way would work better – assuming there’s a dealer to be found near you!
-Both tents had carrying bags that were torn along part of the zipper seam.
-No fly coverage for side or back windows, so in a storm you’ll have to close up the flaps, which can make things a bit stuffy.
-Cheap tent pegs, which is typical these days.

All in all, I like it. Every tent is going to leak, so I’m not complaining too much, and with as much room as this one has and considering there’s only four of us, we were able to stay in the middle and stay pretty dry. Hopefully the seam sealer will keep the side rooms dry next time. Can’t understand why they put that seam right smack in the middle. The only thing that really bugs me is the bag. This is not a small or light tent, so a sturdy bag is a must and it looks like they really cheaped out on that to save costs. All I can say is fold/roll it all up really tight to give the bag some room. Overall, I’d buy this tent again.”
