"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."
"I like to have the room and be able to stand or sit in it with a chair shoud it be raining, all while having my pad and bags in there."

"With little kids including a baby who doesn’t like to be put down, it’s a huge time saver!"
"It takes like 45s to set up."

"We’ve had ours for going on 4 plus years I think… ... Been great in numerous types of 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."
"Never had an issue when it went through a severe windy thunderstorm when camping other years."

"I can tell you I just used a gazelle tent in Ottawa last week for six nights with tons of mosquitoes and biting horse flies and everything and not a single bug in my tent at all."
"Hahaha I have never experienced that. It’s a regular tent that is waterproof and rainproof, let alone bug proof."

"the mesh is so tight that the ventilation is horrible in temps over 70."
"poor ventilation"
"My beef with nearly all nylon tents is how they collect condensation. ... I’ve had 5 people and 2 dogs in the Gazelle. All of that breathing made the inside pretty wet."

"I have a Gazelle, but due to the sheer size and weight when packed, I don't use it as often."
"Downside it’s heavy and big. ... Like the size of a small person in the bag. ... And I think it weighs maybe 30 some pounds."
"a pain to deal with due to large folded size"

"Constantly leaks"
"I did have an issue with water seeping in during very heavy downpour. I'm taking several inches of rain in an hour downpour. It would soak in through the stitches around the hubs, and also where the interior mesh bags are on the sides."

We love our Gazelle gazebos. Don’t know about a firepit, but super easy to put up, plenty of room to stand, side panels that can be put up. The only downside is the weight. We have a five-sided and a six-sided depending on how many people we’re camping with. https://gazelletents.com/collections/6-sided-gazebos
Clam and Gazelle, among others, make pop-up hub style screen tents (gazebo) where you can be completely enclosed within a screen in the event bugs are going to bug you, especially biting bugs. Those can usually be purchased with separate side panels and some of them have side panels sewn in and zippered sides. Kind of allows for versatility where you can panel a specific side, multiple sides or all sides for wind/rain/sun. They setup and tear down fast and you can fully stand up in them.
Coleman Skydome 6 with full rain fly might be worth looking at. I hate my Gazelle screen tent. Constantly leaks, poor ventilation, and a pain to deal with due to large folded size.
We have the Gazelle. It’s built well and all, but the mesh is so tight that the ventilation is horrible in temps over 70. Unless it’s pouring out or massively buggy, we don’t even set it up most times.
Gazelle is the one. Large and sets up in 15 minutes. https://preview.redd.it/x5h79qf002re1.jpeg?width=4000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=77d83ca3decb72939901bb9e09330e6bb5d9a00a
Tried the Gazelle, liked it until I put it away on the first trip and 2 out of 4 metal sheath ends for the rain fly poles went loose into the dirt. Terrible quality for the price, went back to REI and got the Nemo Aurora.
I love love love my gazelle, so easy to set up and break down. Camped in Tennessee last fall during a few heinous storms and it kept me dry and comfortable.
Gazelles are great. They are heavy and large when packed, but worth the space if you're car camping. In high winds, guy out the sides or they will collapse. Mine has been good in rain when I thought it would surely leak.
Gazelle’s are good, but they weigh a freaking ton. Not sure of your reasons for ditching the RTT, but other than the weight, the biggest downside of the hub tents are the massive amount of room they eat up in your vehicle. They don’t park down like regular tents. I find myself running short on space when I use my gazelle.
My Gazelle was a game changer when I got it. It made camp setup so easy. It also made overlanding trips easier. We're usually in the desert so the wind was always an issue. With the Gazelle id setup with the fly off the to watch the stars at night. Having the solid walls made it so much more comfortable.
