" ... The First Day we camped out was a little windy and sunny and we noticed a skip in the door zipper the first time we used it. ... "

" ... So, you cannot fit 2 high air mattresses or cot beds and still have access to the door. ... "
" ... Description says 2 doors: False. ... 1 door, and 1 window opposite. ... Certainly no hinged door. ... Only having 1 door is probably the biggest let down. ... "
" ... You will have to seal the seams on this before use, I had a lot of dripping from the door and back window seam in just a light rain. ... "
