Buy your last tent first. No more damp bed, wind is never a problem. Canvas is the way to go. This one is cheaper. Less windows.

I have the 10x14 and love it. Biggest drawback is taking it down wet. Perfect base camp out in Utah or dryer area's. Moved to Washington and it can be a pain to dry out.

Kodiak are great, i own two but they are knock off of springbar. springbar had been making the exact same tent kodiak ripped for almost 70 years.

Yeah springbar are tougher for sure the qc is on point. Kodiak is a great tent tho. Recent years qc is still ok just not as good from my understanding. Kodiak is like a Cadillac, but springbar is like a rolls...

Find one used i gave two, a 10×10 and a 10x14, paid $200 each. Had the first one going on 20 years just went camping for 4days its still mint...

Well, with 5 people plus 2 dogs, space and airflow are going to matter a lot especially in Colorado weather. Between the two, the bell tent is better for more space and feeling less cramped which makes a big difference with kids and dogs moving around but it's setup takes a bit more effort. Kodiak 10×14 is also good quality and much easier to pitch but with that many people inside, it can start to feel tight unless you’re really organized with sleeping layouts. Ventilation-wise, Kodiak is good with the windows, though bell tents can still stay comfortable if you manage the doors and vents properly. I came across [this thread](https://www.reddit.com/r/travelrecos/comments/1pkernc/best_6person_camping_tents_recommended_by/) while researching family tents, you can also take help from this

We have the kodial flexbow 10x14 and love it. It's survived tornado warning storms, 50 mph winds on a beach, and numerous other events where other tents were blown away. Edit: i thought about getting a gazelle tent instead but I wanted canvas for colder weather camping and I'm not a fan if the doors on the gazelle.

Agreed. Kodiak flexbow 10x14 vx all the way. Easier to set up than a bell tent also.

Until we upgraded to a camper, we had a kodiak 10x14 flex bow vx tent. Plenty of room for standing up, queen size exped, and 2 90lb dogs. I love the ability to stand up, have a place to hang in the rain, and canvas tents are great imo. We still use it on certain trips if we can't bring the camper for whatever reason. Edit:in my younger years I was a backpacker, then learned about car camping when I got older, now mid 40s im an offroad camper person lol. But my wife enjoys it more especially when we're in bear country

I love our flexbow kodiak 10x14 (with the side windows) tent! Its heavy but I can set it up myself. That thing has lasted through 40mph winds on a beach when our friends tents collasped, lasted through crazy rain storms, a tornado warning, and hail. It's a beast of a tent!

Are you car camping? Are you camping in cold weather? For cold weather camping we love our 10x14 kodiak flexbow.

Kodiak flexbow all the way.

A canvas tent makes all the world of difference in 30F and less. We use our kodiak when camping in 5F weather. Prior to that we had a coleman. The kodiak is far superior with heat retention.
