Eureka! Copper Canyon 1512 Twelve-Person
15-Foot by 12-Foot Family Tent

Eureka! Copper Canyon 1512 Twelve-Person 15-Foot by 12-Foot Family Tent

Sleep 12 people comfortably in this 180 sq. ft. tent. This
cabin
style tent offers much more usable space than typical dome tent
designs. Straight walls offer more head room and allow campers to push
cots and gear closer to the walls and out of the way. 75D StormShield
polyester fly features clear panel skylights for stargazing and pockets
for storing storm guyouts when not in use. Corner zips on the fly allow
for easy attachment of the included awning system. 6 large zippered
windows open for excellent visibility and airflow and close for
privacy. Easy to use toggles keep window flaps off the floor and out of
the way! Additional features include steel and fiberglass poles for
durability and pole sleeves, frame clips and ring and pin assemblies
make set up a snap. Nickel sliders and self-healing zippers will
provide years of trouble-free use and factory-taped major seams help to
seal out the weather. Special touches like the E! Power Port for an
extension cord (not included) and a handy sweep-out point make this
tent extra friendly for those campers who want some of the conveniences
of home.

 

Better than I expected!!5

I bought this tent in preparation for an overnight camping
trip for a
family of 5, including a 1 year old. Of course as soon as it arrived
the kids wanted to sleep in it THAT night. Well, it was quite the rainy
night - ALL NIGHT LONG, light rain to downpours. After setting it up in
the drizzle, and wiping out the inside, this tent remained bone dry all
night with the factory taped seams. Water just beads off the fly,
outside walls, and storm flaps over the windows. I was very impressed
with this aspect of the tent. Although the rainfly does not cover much
of the long sides of the tent, as I mentioned before, water just beaded
and slid off the fly, and down the sides of the tent.



Ventilation was excellent - I was able to open the tops of the storm
flaps on the two windows on opposite short sides, in the pouring rain.
The fly over these two windows extends out from the tent far enough to
protect these windows from even driving rain. The entire top of the
tent is mesh and allowed for plenty of air circulation.



The fly has a great feature (in my opinion) - it has four see-through
panels at the peak of the tent which allow you to look through the mesh
tent roof, to the sky!! If you prefer not to, the tent itself has a
zipper panel that zips over the mesh roof in the areas where the fly
has the see-through panels. The fly also has the Eureka! logo
watermarked into the the outside surface of the fly.



The quality of the materials is excellent, as I would expect from
Eureka!. Zippers work very well, fabrics are substantial, and the size
is wonderful. I am 6'6" and I can stand easily throughout the tent.



The tent setup easily and all the pieces fit together well. I used a
16'x20' tarp underneath and folded the rest under the tent.



I have not yet used the divider for 2 rooms, the awning, or the
included gear loft.



It was obvious to me that a lot of thought went into this tent and it
shows in the quality and features. I am looking forward to many years
of fun.
