One of the awesome things about cabin tents is, that the walls of the tent are basically vertical making for a sizeable interior, this allows for a lot more headroom at the sides inside, making it feel much bigger than other types of tents, also, they tend to have wider floor areas, so they are great for families. In general cabin tents are used by groups going on a camping trip in a car or a truck as they are quite heavy when compared to dome tents. It dose though make them well suited to cooler months. Not all tents are created equal, cabin tents often have a few rooms, the same as the Browning Camping Big Horn two-room tent

PROS

1. Freestanding. The Big Horn Plus Screen Room can support its own weight on any terrain. It does not even have to be staked down in most cases. But in case of strong winds, it is always best to secure it to the floor with the included steel stakes and guylines.

3. Tons of Headroom. With 6% more headroom than similar size tents, one can easily count this as a plus.
4. Vestibule. Having one vestibule. Affords you somewhere to store shoes and other things that can get dirty, muddy, this is a big plus.

CONS

1. Sensitive to wind. Because of its size and shape, the Big Horn may not do well in strong winds if it is not firmly secured with the provided guy lines and stakes. Even though the tent is listed as freestanding in all but very calm conditions, one would want to stake and tie it down correctly.
2. Heavy. Even though heavy is not in it self a negative, it is worth noting that the Big Horn 5, weighs 39 pounds and has a packed size of 12.5 x 29.5 inches. Clearly it is designed for camping with a vehicle and would not be super simple to set up on your own.
3. Footprint not Included. There is no included footprint, there is one sold separately designed for the Big Horn 5 footprint Even though the floor may be made of 150 D polyester oxford, it is still best to protect it further with a footprint, especially on rough terrain.
