      Comments about Sierra Designs Wu Hu Annex 6 + 2 Tent:

      My girlfriend and I do very comfortable car camping with our two dogs. We have been searching for what we think is our "dream" tent and are satisfied that this tent has met that standard. What we think makes this our dream tent is, the size (for two dogs and a queen air mattress), ease of setup, sturdiness, a sense of quality in thought and construction. We are mainly camping in the Sierras or the northern and southern California beaches. So far we have not been in rain with this tent, but expect it to work perfectly in rain as the fly is very well designed. We did however experience temperatures in the low 30's to mid 20's and this tent with the fly on worked well. I had to "modify" the door fly at the bedroom area (I just unstaked it and let it close against the side so there was not a breeze coming through the door). We used a Coleman Procat Heater as well and it kept the tent in the mid 60's for an entire night.

      We have had a Bedouin 6 in the past and was very pleased with the usability and quality of materials/construction of that tent. The Wu Hu 6 + 2 is no exception. It is very well thought out our for ease of setup, the color coded poles/sleeves/jakes foot is ideal. For a large tent, I was very surprised that it took less than 20 minutes to fully setup with only a little help from my GF. It consists only of 5 poles! And the rain fly was very easy to slip on, and being able to fold it back to expose the extra room is a great feature. The new Jakes Foot design is very helpful in making a fast/secure setup. The footprint attaches to the foot and then the fly by a simple clip on that seems sturdy and not prone to a eventually break that I have experienced on lesser tents in the past.

      The only drawback that I can say would be that the door to the bedroom should have been made of a sheer/solid fabric piece rather than "no seem" mesh. Or at least been a combo sheer/mesh door, because without the fly, there is no privacy for changing in the bedroom section or a way to make it sealed up to keep a slight breeze out (especially in low temps). Also, the bedroom section does not have any attachments on the "ceiling" for lights or an attic type attachment like other SD tents have had in the past. The extra room area has a few located near the doors to the exterior and the separation door, but none in the larger bedroom area. I think it would be a great change or model update for Sierra Design to add some tabs for hanging lights or even some loops near the bedroom door flap as well as changing the bed door to a non mesh door. The interior door is nice that it is built in and stitched as opposed to some other tents I have had that you clip in a dividing door.

      Overall though, we plan on having and enjoying this quality tent for many seasons to come. Very satisfied with our purchase and recommend this tent for others with our similar needs!

        Comments about Sierra Designs Wu Hu Annex 6 + 2 Tent:

        We purchased this tent as a major transition from minimalist backpacking equipment to car camping. We camp now with our three rescued greyhounds and they don't fit in a three man backpacking tent with us. This new tent had to meet several criteria. It had to have two rooms, so that we could isolate the dogs from our sleeping quarters. It had to have plenty of noseeum mesh in the annex, so that the dogs could be under control, but still see us working in the camp site. It had to be big enough to accommodate a queen size air mattress, and still have space for two folding chairs and a folding side table. The Wu HU 6+2 met all those requirements and more.

        It's an incredibly clever design for the size. The aluminum poles are "just so" and must be used in the right places because each pole is exactly made to fit its' place and function. The size is, well, HUGE. The fly is fantastic. We camped and withstood a hail storm and tornado warning level severe weather while we lived in a "cabin-like" setting inside the main room.

        I'm very impressed and pleased with this tent. I wish Sierra Designs had included some tabs for stringing hang lines in the main room like they did in the annex. (the ceilings are 100% mesh).

        Comments about Sierra Designs Wu Hu Annex 6 + 2 Tent:

        I just returned this week from a week long camping trip in the mid-coast Maine region. I ordered this tent to sleep five and found there to be a comfortable amount of space in the main sleeping area with loads of room in the vestibule (+2) area for another person to stay along with all our gear. We had rain one day with not a drop of water...the fly worked great and the footprint was key!

        If I could change anything it would be to add additional storage pockets on both sides of tent along with more options to hang gear off the floor. Also, I prefer an opening that has a screen option attached to the door opening. The fly must be closed on this tent to cover the screen door on both ends. Overall I love the tent!! So easy to setup (I'm a female and had no problem with the help of a few of the kids)...but I could have managed setup on my own if needed. Lots of room and flexibility with the extra room!

        Service and delivery comments:

        My delivery came very quickly and in excellent condition!
