This tent is still new, I've only slept in it for 9 nights, but I've got a really good first impression. It is very easy to setup, considering its size, and the materials are of good quality. I like the privacy of the 2 bedrooms and the space of the central vestibule. It's free standing, which is great when the ground is hard. I always use the stakes anyway, just in case. They are too soft and bend easily. As this is not a backpacker tent, they could have used heavier, sturdier material. I've got just a few minutes of rain. The fly seems to be really waterproof. I have yet to check it under severe circumstances. Just make sure you close the fly's zipper, otherwise your vestibule floor will get all wet. I got quite a few condensation underneath the fly, but the tent body and its contents were dry.
I have Big Agnes Wyoming Trail 2 model for several years. I like it very much. So when Trail 4 model had been introduced, I bought it as a family camping tent. I like the idea of the big vestibule and separate sleeping compartment. No more getting sand or dirt out of the sleeping areas because someone didn't take their shoes and walk into the tent to get something. All items that need storage are in vestibule – go, grab what you need, no need to take shoes off. However, Trail 4 came with several shortcomings. The most problematic item is the fly. Trail 2 model has Velcro loops on the inside of the fly to keep it secured to the poles. For some reason, Big Agnes designers decided to save on Velcro and didn't install them. This caused the fly to move (in spite of been attached with the guy lines.) and create the area where the water accumulated just above the sleeping compartment. Also Trail 2 model has additional loops at the bottom of the fly on each side of the sleeping compartment area located. During the rain you could attach additional guylines to keep the bottom edge of the fly away from sleeping compartments. On Trail 4 this item was also not present. So the rainwater drips right on the bottom of the sleeping compartments makes it wet. In addition to that it's quite rad to operate door zipper on the fly if all guy lines are engaged and snug. I would suggest Big Agnes designers to look at these issues and consider adding Velcro loops and bottom guyline loops to this model.
