Had to trash my 1982 Sears Hillary canvas wall tent after I broke camp at the Glen in June. Multiple top seam leaks, floor completely disintegrated.
Looking to replace with a mid, to high range, non-backpacking tent with at least a 8x8 footprint and a 6 ft center height.
Most of the popular websites feature Coleman, Eureka, Kelty, etc, etc, and I don't know the ins and outs of the major brands. Are there any 'must have' features or options that I should be looking for? --- oh, and one-man set-up would be a huge plus.
Since most of the tracks I visit now have hot, private showers, I will probably use the tent 4-10 days/year, but I don't want a piece of junk that will rot in the attic when not in use.
Thanks in advance, Bill K
