It does specifically say in the instructions that the tent should be treated along the seams with waterproofing, by the way. Tent even did OK on some colder nights about 40 degrees with a small electric heater. Condensation / moisture was an issue due to thin material but it’s not a 4-season tent so I can’t complain.
Next night still calm, took cover off and loved looking up at the night sky. When something says “waterproof” ozark trail table it does not mean it will not leak. It is made of nylon and nylon does not keep water out.
I have found that the seams of the tent do drip a little when it rains (after all machines put tiny holes in things when they are sewn together) it is nothing that cannot be fixed with a little time and patience. I bought a $3 bottle of seam sealer followed the directions and have not had a single issue with water since. It is an Ozark Trail Dome Tent that is a 4-person tent. I’m going to Coleman for now on because you are incapable of making a zipper that doesn’t break so damn easy on the door. Crafted from robust 18/8 stainless steel with a sleek powder coating finish, this tumbler stands the test of time, resisting scratches, rust, and the mingling of flavors. Its ergonomic handle promises a comfortable grip, making it an ideal companion for any journey.
The Mineral King 3’s fly attaches intuitively with plastic buckles and has well-placed guy tabs. You can secure the fly to the poles with Velcro ties underneath the fly, so that the extra lines anchored the whole tent, not just the thin protective fabric, but we only needed to do so in very windy conditions. When the fly is fully deployed, the tent has two vestibules, which provide additional gear storage and also help ventilate the tent in inclement weather.
Getting the fly placed and staked properly took about five more minutes. Though the Wireless’s fly kept water out of the tent’s interior, it took longer to fully dry once the rain stopped than some others we tested. If you don’t have time to let the fly dry before you pack the Wireless in its duffle, we recommend laying it out when you get home so it doesn’t mildew in storage.
I would like a response to this please and I do expect some compensation of some kind! Every time we put some faith in these tents we got let down. Not sure what season our tents were but, we had to get 4 of them. I must say that nothing is waterproof, water resistant is a better term.
We’ve tested (and recommended) Eureka tents in past versions of this guide. In October 2023, Eureka’s parent company, Johnson Outdoors, announced that it was discontinuing the Eureka brand. The product line, including its tents, should remain available through the end of 2024. The Base Camp tents include a low side vent ozark trail chair and multiple stuff pockets on the walls and ceiling, which are made of 75D polyester treated with 1500mm of polyurethane waterproofing. Note that these tents are strictly meant for car camping; the Base Camp 4 and the Base Camp 6 weigh 16 and 21 pounds, respectively, so you won’t want to carry either one very far.
