Oh man how many fights I had to witness when mom and dad set this bad boy, nothing beats setting up a complicated tent with 3 screaming kids after a 12 h drive.

Which is kind of amusing, because it looks like a basic tunnel tent design, which are dead easy to set up, even for one person… …if that person learned how to do it beforehand, and not after a 12-hour drive with 3 screaming kids.
What does it weigh? I own a size bigger from a different brand and it is heavy as hell! Fun fact: the tent fits inside the car but the car also fits inside the tent.

Nice, I’ve seen Karsten tents on sites before. Like the trad colours too.

Used to have the ‘inflatable’ version. This one’s a bit less work to pitch

Interesting - we went from a Vango Ravello 500 Airbeam which was an easy 10-minute setup, to an Outwell Maui Reef tunnel style (which we haven’t test pitched yet). I expected the poled style to be quite a bit more work.
@Vey
I thought so as well, but this tent is very well thought out. Poles are already shaped to the arch of the tent, and the part/tube where you put the poles through can be zipped open for easy access. And it is possible I’m a bit biased 
@Vey
Tunnel tents take a bit more work to pitch correctly IME, but I like them.
That looks r/buyitforlife I love it, congrats!
