Eureka Copper Canyon 1512

Pros: roomy

Cons: parachute in the wind

We camp in the mountains of Mexico 9 days each year. We wanted a tent we could stand up in and put my trousers on. I could stand up in this one very well, it was easy to assemble (if you read directions) easy to repack, if you remember how it came out of the box!

I have camped in Mexican mountains for 7 yrs in a Wal-Mart, coleman tent. The weak zippers finally gave out. The Eureka is of a much better quality, It holds together better in adverse conditons. I highly recommend this tent to anyone.

THis is a large tent, A windstorm came through with 50 mph sustained winds, we put our tent down at the outeset of adverse weather, Several high quality tents sufferd severe damage. The 1512 would have been shredded in these winds. But, because we let the side walls down we didnt have any problems.

This tent is excellent in good weather, As with any large tent, High Winds will destroy it in short order. if you plan to camp in windy locations buy a lower profile tent, if you are a fair weather camper, this tent will serve you well for several years of camping.

This is a Car camping tent, Do Not consider this if you are backpacking or hiking.

I recommend this tent to all weekenders who need room to stand up in.
