White Duck Outdoors - Regatta Bell Tent

Thank you for posting a photo of your interior set up! It's helpful to see what people actually use versus what they pack or purchase but essentially just keep in storage. Our White Duck Regatta just arrived this morning and we're barely containing ourselves while waiting to pitch it for the first time!

I like mine a lot. The only real downside is weight. But that's more of a downside for me than most people because I'm flying around. I've probably done 60-ish nights in mine, including a couple weeks of winter camping. Happy to answer any specific questions. 1. Do they wet out at all with long term rain/snow? I haven't had problems with dripping, if that's what you mean. 1. How was the seasoning process? It's been a few years, but I just followed their advice and haven't had problems. 1. Do the low profile windows offer enough ventilation to prevent condensation? (The kingdom had large mesh two door system with full mesh sides on the tent itself)- this eliminated condensation issues. It's not super airy. It's designed to be a hot tent, after all. But condensation hasn't been an issue. 1. How does it do in wind? For the kingdom I was able to set it up oriented so the wind would tunnel down the tent and never had an issue. I’m concerned with the taller flatter profile of the white duck. No problems. I think it's got 26 stakes. Recommend swapping out the provided ones with lag bolts to make setup a million times easier. 1. How hot inside do they get in the summer time? Warm, but not crazy compared to nylon. The entire door is a screen, so with all the screens open it vents about as well as one could expect. 1. Does the tan colored one offer enough light inside to function during the daytime? The darker models appear quite dark inside. Yeah, no problem. Here are a couple videos with mine: [Adding an awning](https://youtu.be/d_cOwC8OPFQ) [Six weeks in the weather](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o7NsoosjduI)

I have the T4 plus and have enjoyed it. The rain fly is much better. I gravitate to my White Duck canvas tent if I’m car camping though. Breathable and better suited for all seasons.

There's normally 3 sizes of this tent available on DOD. The large is quite large - I don't remember the dimensions. You may have seen the smaller ones? I've wanted to hear more about the tent, as DOD is a well-regarded brand. There was some criticism of their one-pole Ichi tent due to leakage, which has apparently been addressed. I have a 13' White Duck Bell canvas, and the smaller Acacia, with the inflatable floor, but I'd like a personal tent for solo travel. As a smaller woman, I'd probably still go with the large. I haven't heard any complaints about leakage or quality on this tent, but my data set was small. Hence my interest in this thread. It is a pop-up - the video tutorials I've seen look quite straightforward. But I can erect my bell tent alone. If OP is buying a first tent, perhaps this may not be for them. But it's interesting to see all the feedback. Thanks.

I personally have a canvas White Duck Bell tent I highly recommend.
