I watersealed the seams, as per the instruction sheet inside the carrying bag but I have not been rained on yet. I have a design change suggestion but I do not see an email address anywhere; therefore I cannot submit it to someone who can do something about it. Thank you OZARK for making camping nights with small children just a little more difficult!!!! Good thing we are all troopers and we didn’t let your HORRIBLE product ruin our trip. Rain fly is too big — it needs one side cut differently to allow to get in and out of the tent.
The short pole supplied for that protrusion splintered in two places and poked about four small holes in the black fabric of the laundry bubble. Better instructions on how it should be installed would have prevented the splintering, but I would rather have seen the “laundry room” not be an outside protrusion from the back of the tent. Rather it should have been a large pocket on the inside of the tent that requires no pole at all.
Your zippers are the worst in all camping gears I have bought. Let me just tell you this, it doesn’t make a difference what model your tent is. The main thing is is that the zippers that you put in these tents are so substandard that it doesn’t last more than one or two camping trips. You set a new low in tents and the damn zippers you put in them. And before you guys cop an attitude, I have been camping since I was at least 4 years old and I am now in my mid-50s.
So as of the moment of writing this text, this Ozark Trail 5-in-1 Convertible Instant Tent and Shelter is completely unique on the market. When you see all its features, its price looks unbelievable. All the elements in the picture above are pre-attached to each other, so you simply unfold and extend its poles. The pictures below show the most important steps when you want to pitch this structure, the meaning of the steps will become more clear in the text below.
I must say that nothing is waterproof, water resistant is a better term. I bought a $3 bottle of seam sealer followed the directions and have not had ozark trail tent a single issue with water since. The design change I want to comment on concerns the little “laundry room” that protrudes out the back of the tent.
As you can see from the larger tents above, they come in all kinds of different arrangements. Tunnel tent, five room, L-shaped, the list goes on and on. Pick what kind of shape you want your tent in, Ozark Trails will have it. The final tent I’ll review today is Ozark Trail’s largest – their 14 person, 4-room tent. Ft. of space, all split into three distinct, equal-sized rooms, all of which can fit queen-sized air beds. Simple – it’s a feature-packed tent that provides all the benefits of a large tent while minimizing the negatives.
Anyone interested in an accessible way to start exploring their local landscape would be well-served by looking at their wide selection of goods. Four total windows are adjustable from the inside of the tent. They’re double-zippered, and it’s just a matter of rolling them up and stowing them away to enjoy a breeze or take in a view in the morning. Also, a rear window accessed from the outside can be staked out into a small awning that protects the tent’s interior if you need a little extra air when it’s raining. The front door runs nearly the tent’s entire height, and an additional bug net door mirrors it exactly.
