The Wenzel Sycamore family dome tent has been superbly designed with the camping family in mind. It’s range of features, make it an excellent choice for families with 2 or more children and, or, dogs!
Main Features
Setting up is simplicity itself and can be accomplished quickly with one adult and a child over 4. It also proves to be easy to break down and re-pack which is certainly not the case with all family sized tents.
As a result of the 3 room layout, you actually get to enjoy a little privacy with this tent. You can choose to divide up your gear, dogs, kids and yourselves however you fancy although sound proofing is yet to be built in!
The 3 separate doors provide easy access to all rooms. This means not only that locating gear is easy but there’s no clambering across bodies and bags in the night when you need to visit the washroom!
Although Wenzel use their excellent weather armor fabric for the tent, all the seams still require sealing against heavy rain before your trip. Don’t forget!
The ventilation system in this tent is very effective. All doors and windows have polyester mesh coverings and the roof of the tent is also predominantly mesh allowing for particularly good airflow. If it rains then the detachable rain fly is quick and easy to fit and helps to retain warmth which soon builds up if everything is closed.
Wenzel have these special fully welded tub floors which really do a fabulous job of keeping the water out. There is no stitching at the corners and so you don’t get any water seeping in to create a damp soggy corner. A blessing for keeping bedding dry.
So now let’s look at the size and statistics of the Wenzel Sycamore family dome tent as well as it’s best points, worst points and user reviews.
