Wenzel Klondike 8 person family tent is one of the great camping tents with families or friends. The tent measures around 17 feet by 10 feet. Usually, the Klondike sleeps around eight within its 98 square feet of the interior space.

The tent has a sleeping room and screen room fitted with zipping up walls. The height of the tent is 6.5 high. Such a height lets the tent users stand up straight while inside. The tent has fiberglass frame and utilizes power corners. It is easy to set up the tent at the camp site.

Highlighted Features

It is easy to identify Klondike tent because of its characteristic features. Features include:

Weather-repellent polyester material

The material flooring supports the seams and makes sure they are not on the ground and in contact with moisture. Such characteristics help the users to overcome rainy weather conditions. The polyurethane coating prevent water from entering the tent. The feature saves users from heavy downpours.

Full mesh roofing material

The roofing top is well fitted with a mesh roofing material. The mesh coating of the roof prevent rain water from entering the sleeping rooms. No leaking I tell you. The roofing material is good with the adverse sunny conditions. The mesh roof keeps bugs away, and the floor ensures the family items are safe from moisture. The material has a polyurethane water resistant coating. The roofing and the flooring material acts as a major advantage for the tent over other tents in the market.

Shock-corded poles

The tent is supported by strong poles. The poles make it easy to set up. In fact, you can do it in around 15 minutes. However, the process requires two peoples to assists each other in handling the poles. The materials increase the stability of the tent. On a windy season, you cannot fear of being blown away. It is very stable and safe while camping. While inside the tent, you can place your items in hanging pockets without fear of fall as a result of wind. The manufacturers provide an assembling instructions manual for buyers to ensure even the new buyers understand how to set it up with a lot of ease. Also, the instruction manual provides guidelines to retain stability of the tent.

Exclusive space and design

The tent has a good design and adequate space. When you compare the design with that of other tents, you will rate it high. Its exclusive design separates the sleeping rooms and screen rooms inside. Additionally, the tent has a resting place. The bedroom is well spaced to accommodate a standard queen air mattress for a family. The kids can access play rooms. All the available rooms are separated by a divider sheet panels attached at the 4 locations per side. The front room is low. Such design provides a great feature to store family property. These features increase the demand and the positive aspect of the tent.

Cool-Air port ventilation system

The shelter maintains ventilation via adjustable venting system. It is possible to adjust airflow in the tent. Also, windows and doors are well designed to allow enough ventilation. However, they allow breeze inside the tent. The rear mesh vent creates a floor breeze. The exterior door enables you to enter the screen room and provide adequate ventilation in the room. The main door is designed as an inverted ‘T’ and the fabric of the door does not have ties. The design of the doors allow proper ventilation in the rooms but separate the bedroom from the screen room. Every room needs its type of ventilation mechanisms.

Pros

  • The tent incorporates a bathtub bottom floor. 
  • Water proof roofing system.
  • Easy process of setting up.
  • Appropriate design and adequate space.
  • Appropriate ventilation features like windows.

Cons

  • It is heavy to carry.
  • The plastic pins loosen at night.

Final Verdict

In conclusion, I would argue that the Klondike tent is a good choice for camping. It offers the best comfort and security against hazardous weather conditions. Its space and design provide ideal comfort for families even when camping on mountains and heavy hurricane zones.​

I would recommend the tent for families wishing to spend time away from home. The back walls ensure good ventilation and power stands to maintain good stability of the tent. Space and design encourage freedom of movement and household arrangement. Klondike tent is a perfect choice for family camping activities.
