When looking for a tent you will see that there are many options to choose from. It can be very overwhelming. I have come up with some key things to keep in mind to help you make the right choice. After reading these tips you should be able to make a decision with no problem.
The first thing to consider is the size of your tent. How many people do you think will be using this tent? The 6 person tent was made to hold 6 people comfortably. This usually holds true but depending on the age and size of your campers this could change. You should think about how many people you will have in your tent and add a extra 1-2 people to achieve a decent amount of extra space. For example if you have 4 people you should go for the 6 person tent. Using that method you shouldn’t have a problem with space when sleeping. Another plus in having this extra space is you will be able to store your camping essentials without it being in your way.
The next option to consider is privacy. A 6 person tent usually comes with the option of either having 1 room or multiple rooms. If there will be different age groups camping together I would suggest going with multiple rooms. It mainly depends on your situation and how much privacy you desire. In most cases you will want that extra privacy but if your daughter is bringing her boyfriend on your trip you might want to go with the one room tent. All jokes aside it will just depend on your situation on how you will figure out if you need extra privacy or not.
The last thing to consider is the tents weather rating. Come up with the places where you will travel and what kind of weather you might expect. Make sure to get a tent that can handle heavy rain, windy conditions, and whatever weather you think could come your way. Having decent ventilation in your tent is a goal you will want to achieve for those hot humid days. My 6 person tent is a three season tent and it handles spring to fall very well.
Now that you know what to look for when purchasing a 6 person tent you will be able to narrow down the many options you will come across. In the end having the proper tent for your situation will make a smooth and successful camping trip.
