Oh, Kat, if you read the very first reply... the el cheapo Texsport tent I talked about was actually a Knollwood!!! DON'T EVER bring it out if there is any chance -- however remote -- of rain! To Texsport's credit, if you read the packaging/instructions -- it does state that the tent is "rain resistant" -- so at least it isn't lying or making any claims to rainproofness. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
