My wife and I have this tent too and it is the best tent ever. We usually camp with another couple and if you turn the mattress the other way you can fit 2 queen size air mattresses side by side with room to spare.
Wow! I’m impressed with the ease of the one person setup. I can think of a few forest locations to set up at or maybe a base camp for an all weekend Rainbow Trout fishing get together in the backcountry. That’d be great for the grandkids. 😊
It's definitely a little intimidating when you pull it out of the bag. But the simplicity of the 3 pole hub system really masks it easier than you think. We can't wait for camping with the grandkids and a dispersed base camp.
Wow!! That is a really cool giant tent!!! Wouldn’t that be great if they would make a super light weight one for backpacking. Oh to have that much room in the backcountry lol!! Thanks for the video! Neat tent!
It was definitely an upgrade from our REI Kingdom 4!!! Getting the poles in place is about the only real challenge, and, as seen in the video, can be done with only one person, though two is much easier. We've had it out in several thunderstorms with wind and hail, and it did great.
Thanks for showing your interior set up. It's almost impossible to judge the size without seeing REAL gear set up in there. I have an REI Kingdom 8 but have always wanted the Wagontop but Nemo has just stopped making them.
We completely get that. Many gear reviews don't always cover using the tent with gear showing the "usable" space. We went from the REI Kingdom 4 up to the Wagontop 8 for this very reason. We did purchase ours from Outdoor Gear Exchange, they only had a few left. The footprint we purchased from REI on clearance. So far we love the tent, the added room, and the ease of setup for such a large tent. How is the Kingdom 8? We looked for one of those, but REI didn't have any.
@@MADHippiesLife I've had two Kingdom 6s. The 2018 model was awesome but after years of hard use, the rainfly had pinhole leaks so I gave it a friend who needed a place to camp on his land for few months. I bought the 2021 model but it just wasn't the same and I didn't like a white tent (I camp in places that have dirt and mud, lol). So I sold that and just found a 2018 model Kingdom 8 on REI used. They suddenly had two of the 8 person and 6 person of the older models. Love it. I'm short and past middle age and I can set it up by myself in about 20 minutes so not a big deal. Rught now, REI has a used older model Wagontop for sale...and I don't need TWO eight person tents....but I still considering having it just because...lol. Kingdom tents have been replaced with Wonderland series and I don't think it's a good design for the northeast with too much mesh for shoulder seasons and rain fly that doesn't go to the ground.
I own this tent and it really is amazing. We typically camp with another couple and we can fit 2 queen sized coleman air mattresses side by side with room to spare. The interior is massive.
Awesome huge tent. You will never want to come home from camping now. :)
Now that’s an awesome set-up! #chillin

That’s pretty cool 😎

We can't wait to put it through the paces of dispersed camping! The room will be so amazing to have for us and the pups.
Excellent video. Looking to move on away from my Wawona 6 tent. The setup effort of this tent looks much better. Thanks

@exmormonsongbook great to hear! We're looking at using this as a bedroom / living room. So much room and yet easy to set up.
