I was meaning more having room for the tent. It looks like it covers alot more area than alot of the other tent designs I've ran across, so I didnt know. I wasnt sure how much open room most camp sites along trails have. I've really just saw the more established camp sites at parks that have the little grills stuck in the ground and all that. I do like the ventilation it looks like it would have. It also looks like it would keep rain out better that some of the more open sided designs with no overhang covering the mesh side walls. Like I said, I dont really plan to be out in much rain, but around here the weather can change pretty quickly...
