The Taj Mahal...


...is quite comfy when we're away from home. We had plenty of space during our 10 day vacation, and have a pretty smooth set-up and tear-down routine. The interior room accomodates a queen size AeroBed (see link) http://www.llbean.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CategoryDisplay?categoryId=36271&parentCategory=3891&cat4=1097&storeId=1&catalogId=1&langId=-1&feat=ssdpa1097 plus a couple of stools that hold our clothes up off the ground. The screen room in the front is roomy enough for our camp chairs and a table, nice when it's buggy. The only thing we found is that the mesh, though great for keeping bugs out, doesn't really let the air circulate through so it can get a little stuffy. The trade off of not being eating alive is worth it though, and when there's a breeze it's nice to have the screen unzipped and let the air in. All in all, a very nice tent. This is like the one Kathie and David have, and that Jason and Jen are considering. Definitely not a back-packing deal or even overnight stops when on a road trip, but nice for extended car camping ventures. Posted by Picasa

It does look nice and roomy. We might have to think about the ventilation issue. I like the screened vestibule.

Yeah, our idea is to get one of those sun fly/tarp things to set up just in front of the screen room, especially nice if you're in a place with a picnic table that you want just a little protection from the elements...
