Nemo Equipment Wagontop 8 Person Modified Dome Tent Review

The Wagontop 8 has three windows and two doors and a peak center height of 6' 8, which is a tiny bit less than the average height of the 55 other 8 person tents we have studied. With 125 square feet of space inside, it is a tiny bit smaller than some other 8-person tents, and it could be a little tight for you and, up to seven other campers during the whole of the 3-seasons, this tent is recommended for use in, larger tents like this one often can make an excellent choice for people that welcome having loads of room inside.

Many of the great things about modified dome tents are, that they are for, the most part light, making them simple to carry. In near all cases, tents used for backpacking are of the modified dome type. They are generally speaking, freestanding and very simple to set up. In calm weather, you could do without guy lines and stakes, not that this is recommended.

Modified Dome tents are easily the most common of all the different sorts of tents you will see when camping. They tend to do better in bad weather than other types, allowing water to roll off the sloped walls, unlike cabin tents that have flat roofs, resulting in the rain pooling on the roof. The most basic modified dome tent will have a rectangular footprint, slanted walls a couple of poles which converge in the center of the roof. Because of the way they are made, it is typically thought of that they are ideal for up to a maximum of 6 people.

PROS

2. Vestibules. Having two vestibules. Affords you a place to store shoes and other items that can get dirty, muddy, this is a huge plus.
3. Has Gear Loft. It is good to see Nemo Equipment adding a gear loft in the interior to store some of your things.
4. More than one door. With 2 doors, it is easier to get in and out of the tent, in the middle of the night if needed.

CONS

1. Susceptible to wind. Because of its size and shape, the Wagontop may not do best 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. Not spacious. With a floor area of 125 square feet, the Wagontop 8 is smaller than quite a few of the 57 other 8 person tents we have looked at.
3. Only one room. The Wagontop is recommended for 8 campers, some other tents of a similar size have more than one room allowing for a little more privacy.
4. Heavy. Even though heavy is not in it self a negative, it is worth noting that the Wagontop 8, weighs 30 pounds and has a packed size of 13 x 13 x 28 inches. obviously it is designed for camping with a car and would not be super easy to set up on your own.
5. Footprint not Included. There is no included footprint, The floor may be made of 150D PeU Polyester but it is still best to protect it further with a footprint, more so on rough terrain.
6. Out of Stock. Unfortunately this particular tent is not currently in stock. It is still on the manufactures site the last time we looked.
