This tent is massive!! - it is for 9 people and it will take them with ease. it will take 2 people to put it up and around 45mins - 1 hour. The bedrooms are hung seperate inside so if you dont take the full family there is even more space for storage. the one draw back to this tent is that it is not fully sewn in, i take a dog camping and she has got out a number of times. It would have been the ultimate tent if it was fully enclosed. The tent has two areas - the main living area is where the electrics can be fitted into the tent (ie light) but the cooking is done in the porch area (we call it the west wing!!) You can purchase this tent from a number of internet retailers - even though they have now discontinued the model (make sure you buy a 2008 model as the 2007 did get recalled due to leaks!!) i would reccommend buying the footprint to go under the tent - 2 reasons - (1) when putting up the tent you can picture where the finished tent will be placed (2) it protects the underside of the tent. I HAVE USED THIS TENT IN VERY WINDY - WET WEATHER AND IT STOOD UP VERY, VERY WELL
