I’m looking for a car camping tent for a family of four in the northeast US. I was originally attracted to the wawona 6 due to the vestibule design but I see a lot of complaints on here about the rain fly design. The MSR Habiscape lounge popped up as another option with a large vestibule but I haven’t seen any reviews. Has anyone used this tent? What do you think of the design?
I have this tent! Love it. It’s enormous, and the vestibule is really nice for having a dry place to sit when it’s raining. Let me know what questions you may have.

Cool! I’m mostly wondering if it keeps you dry in rainy, windy weather

I’ve had zero issues in rain but I’ve yet to be in truly windy conditions with it. I imagine it will hold up just as well if not better than the North Face tent in heavy winds just based on the shape. I use an under tarp to make sure ground water isn’t an issue, but the fly has kept us dry from falling water.
Alternative…Kelty Rumpus 6.
The MSR Habbiscape is solid.
And unlike the Nemo Highrise and TNF Wawona it has a full coverage rainfly.
