Just 4. Gazelle T4 Overland, Gazelle T8, Kodiak Flex Bow 10x10, Kodiak Cabin 12x16. I really like the Gazelle T8 for quick and easy

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.

Have the T4 and T8.. love them both. But agree, they don't pack up small. But worth the hassle of size in bag.

By any chance, have you tried to reorder the bags yet? Had ours for about 4 years with roughly 80 uses, both bags have some tears plus 1 of the zippers is barely hanging on... Lmao. Anyways, I need to get online at Gazelle, see how hard it is to get replacement bags..

Oof, I commented without reading the full post. Upvote for the Gazelle T8. I’m over 6’ tall and can standup in boots in it, and it has been great for the whole family comfortably site camping. The T8 will probably be the same as your experience with the smaller version, and it held up great in a windy thunderstorm

I have both a T4 and T8. The T8 has gotten the most use over the last 3 or so years as the family tent. It's heavy, but awesome.  I went T8 instead of the T4+ as I didn't like the additional poles and the small gaps where the poles seated in the bottom. The T8 is literally two T4's together, which is exactly what I wanted. It's just about as fast setup as my T4, and rock solid in winds. Can't go wrong with either really, but the T8 is my jam.

Yeah not sure if that complicates your decision haha. For me I wanted the normal T4 tent, just bigger. But if you need an awning room or like you said a better entrance door the T4+ is supposed be to be good. Only other thing I'll say is the orange attracts bugs. I didn't have a choice in color due to the deal I got for both, but only change I would have made is for a different color. Still love my T8, but that would've been the only knock.

Family of 4, I love my gazelle T8, it's bulky and heavy and expensive but easily one of the best tents I've owned

Gazelle is what I can't to recommend, I have the T8 and love it, if I was camping by myself I would get the T4

I have the 8 person Gazelle, I love it and it's when the whole family camps, I have a 3 person A-frame for just me when I camp alone, a 4 person when it's me and my sons for scouts, a 2 person backpacking tent for backpacking and a old 2 person tent that was my dad's when he was a teenager.
