"As it is, we ended up adding an Eureka Northern Breeze 10 "dining shelter" to our kit: we normally camp in spring or fall, and got tired of trying to eat in the morning and at night when it was cold / windy / wet. ... In that regard, a tent with a Large vestibule might make a good choice, particularly if camping is limited to warmer / dryer weather."
"Still, if we had it to do over, we would probably opt for the Basecamp 6 for the additional height & larger vestibule area."
