"rain fly goes all the way to the ground. ... Had it in a multi day downpour and not a drop inside the tent"

"with a huge add on vestibule. ... More space is better."
"You can get the mudroom as an add-on for some extra space to store stuff. ... Mudroom on the Kingdom 6 has a little less headroom but similar storage space."

I have an old REI Kingdom 6 tent. I could stand in that as a 6’3 guy with shoes. I’m surprised that REI doesn’t have an equivalent nowadays Edit: Wonderland series. The 6 says a 6’6 peak height.
r/CampingGear • Looking for a tent for a 6’5” man to stand up in. Suggestions? ->My car-camping tent is a Kingdom 6 from REI. [https://www.rei.com/product/147958/rei-co-op-kingdom-6-tent](https://www.rei.com/product/147958/rei-co-op-kingdom-6-tent) I'd love to replace it with a fabric tent one day, but this one for now is great for my wife, dog, and I for just about every car-camping trip we've ever done. I think it's 10ish years old - have used it at least 100 nights.
r/CampingGear • If weight is no longer a constraint, what would you choose for a freestanding tent? ->I prefer tents with a full rainfly -- Kelty, some REI, Nemo, Marmot, that Northface Wawona. Many of the cheaper brands have partial rainflys that I don't think cut it as well. My wife and I have the REI Kingdom 6, love it, and have used it for years. I think they call it the wonderland now and it has okay reviews. But its huge and standable and its lasted for tons of fests. Any 6 person tent will be a challenge for 6 people. 4 People would work in a lot of 6p tents but check dimensions. That Nemo Aurora 6 has way smaller dimensions for a 6 person tent than my Kingdom 6. I personally don't think I'd go higher than a 6p tent though, a lot of the bigger ones can be a challenge at some fests and campsites.
r/ElectricForest • Can anyone recommend a good quality waterproof tent for 4/6 people? ->This is what I got for my 6’3” hubs as well to stand up in. Great tent.
r/CampingGear • Looking for a tent for a 6’5” man to stand up in. Suggestions? ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
