The Eureka 2 man Timberline is what works for me. 6’3”. get a used one, most have only been used onceish.
they have them in stock at some small stores still. You can find them for less than $100 used on websites, so I think it just depends on your definition of a fair deal. I have three, one is 33 years old and it’s the only one I bought new.
imho, Timberline >> domes for stormy days, as you could have the windows open during the rain.
People math and tents get hard. I'd always lean towards one person extra, so a 4p tent. There aren't a lot of light options in 4p tents though. We used a Eureka 4p tent for years, that weighed 8 lbs, and tried several times to find an alternative but never found anything worth it. At the actual 3p level, we have a Nemo Dagger Osmo 3p, that is pretty amazing, but we've only ever used it for 2 people. It's also very expensive, and doesn't seem to go on sale very often.
Yes ,,, believe it or not. I still have my Eureka Timber line. Nice tent. Haven't had it out in a few.
Is it green rainfly and floor with tan sides. Or Brown. If memory serves, I believe there was an upgraded version that was brown. I've got the old tank of a tent Green.
Any Eureka Timberline series tent are very easy to set up by yourself. I would recommend the Timerline 2 six man tent if you are camping with kids.
I LOVE my 4p Eureka! tent. Bought it used 10 years ago and just redid the waterproofing and seam seals.
I’ve got two Eureka’s (2 and 4 person). The two is from 1995. No issues with either
