Marmot  Colfax 4P Tent with Footprint

First car camping trip with 2 young kids. 7 days in Acadia park (Maine) where temps dropped to low 40s at night, and poured rain for two of those nights. No leaking or condensation issues. Space was perfect for us (two adults, a 4yo, and a 6yo) with bags in the tent. We had ample space to play card games and eat our meals inside while it stormed outside. Easy setup at night with just headlamps upon arrival to the camp, the poles seem solid enough, zippers are sturdy against little kids' handling of them, loved having lots of mesh but being able to roll all the privacy flaps up as needed, and the interior hooks and pockets are well placed. I just wish there is a privacy flap that goes over the main door like for the smaller 2nd door and over the other two walls. Otherwise the rain fly provides privacy. Also the zipper on the rain fly easily sticks when you first stumble out first thing in the morning when you're still a bit uncoordinated.

I really wanted to like this tent. I even ordered the porch. Loved the space, the ventilation, the footprint. But was constantly wet. The tabs on the windows will wick water into the tent. If it had a full coverage fly it would be a great tent.
