"The footprint of the floor is a square for the T4 hub tent, so you should find the available space easy to work with, even with mattress. ... We have the T4 plus, which is just two squares with a room divider. We use cots and there is room for 5 and the dogs."
"not 4 sided. That way you can setup a table in the middle and still get around, or set up multiple tables on the walls with tons of room."
"the height all throughout the tent makes for a wonderful camping experience. I actually enjoy hanging out in my tent."

"it is HUGE when folded down for storage transport ... You need to have a large SUV or a roof rack to transport this thing."
"The only problem I have with it is its size when packed up in its bag. It can be a pain if you don't have a truck or van to transport it."
"As a long time Gazelle owner I think the only asterisk is weight/transportation. ... at nearly 30+lbs it can be an issue lugging it around if you're not camping within a reasonable distance of your car."

"The biggest drawback is you will need to mount to the rails on your vehicle. Unless you got a pickup."

"I saw over a dozen gazelles that totally failed during a storm at an Overland event two years ago. ... They did not hold up well at all. ... Guy lines were used etc, but they were some of the worst fairing tents among them all. ... I was a volunteer and had to go around taking stock of the damage and help people and after that I would not buy one of their tents. ... I was a volunteer at an overland rally two years ago and saw a bunch of gazelle tents fail in a wind storm. ... It was wild. they were the worst failing tents of all the tents there. ... esp if they are going to fail in bad weather."
"You have to make sure to guy out the hubs in strong winds, and the more horizontal the guy line can be the better, or else wind can collapse the hub. I'm taking 15-20mph plus wind. Was in 30-40mph gusts and it held up, but I'd guyed out the hub the direction the wind was coming from with two guy lines, each as horizontal as I could get them, 45 degrees from each other."

Check out gazelle tents. I have the T3x and the T8. Love both. The T8 is too much for 2 people IMO. I'd take a look at the T4. Not the T4 plus. A bit big, but super easy to put up and take down.
r/CampingGear • Recommendations for a car camping tent for two people that you can stand up in. $500 budget. ->Just got the T3X Gazelle so excited to break it in
r/camping • Camping 2025 new Gazelle ->As a long time Gazelle owner I think the only asterisk is weight/transportation. I love our T3X but its not Honda CIvic Trunk Compatible :) and at nearly 30+lbs it can be an issue lugging it around if you're not camping within a reasonable distance of your car. Just my .02c, never owned anything as easy to setup.
r/camping • Do you guys have experience with these? ->I just bought a gazelle T3x. It’s super easy to set up and I did a raging thunderstorm in it and stayed dry. Also shout out to Exped Megamat for comfortable sleep
r/CampingGear • What brands or types of tents should I be looking to get? ->I have a deluxe gazebo, T4, and T3X. My friend has the T4+. They’ve given me many good years and are still like new. Camp setup is mere minutes. My only gripe is that I will bust my butt on the triangle doors EVERY SINGLE TIME.
r/camping • Are Gazelle Tents worth it? ->I really like my Gazelle T3X. It is 5 ft long when in the bag. It’s 30 lbs. Easy to setup and take down. The bag is slightly oversized, no need to sit on it to get the zipper closed. I’m 66.
r/camping • Tent recommendations for a couple of senior gentleman? ->Backpacking 1P or 2p ultra light setup. Car camping I have a 3 person gazelle that I can stand up in. I bring a mega mat and a cot, a little folding side table. Whatever fits in the car is coming with me lol.
r/camping • 1 or 2 Person Tent for me alone? ->The Gazelle T3 has been my favorite as a solo camper. They larger ones. Setup is quick and so is tear down. The floor or tray is removable for easy cleaning. Been through some pretty nasty storms in it. It always stayed dry. Definitely not a backpacking/hiking tent.
r/camping • I need a new tent; what do you recommend? ->Had a Gazelle T3.. love it. Though wished I had gotten a T4 for the space. Had to have my cot diagonal on the T3 to fit. Had a Resmed too though I’m afraid I’m gonna sleep through anything that’ll happen while camping… lol
r/camping • Camping 2025 new Gazelle ->Gazelle tents will have something to fit your needs… They are bulky but nice, my wife and i use a variant of the T3… We also nixed the idea of a rtt, too many pitfalls…
r/overlanding • Tent Recommendations ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
