Wenzel Klondike Tent – 8 Person
Wenzel Klondike Tent – 8 Person Features
Separate Sunroom
The Klondike has a separate sunroom covered by a mesh screen. In this room, you and your family or friends can enjoy the outdoors while being protected against the sun and mosquitoes. Unlike some of the other tents that have a separate screened room, this one has a floor. This way, you and your gear will not get dirty or wet.
Wenzel Klondike Tent – 8 Person Screened Roof
You can remove the top cover to reveal a screened roof. With this, you can stargaze at night and still be protected against insects. During the day, you can allow the sun to shine in while you hang out inside.
Easy and Quick Setup
This tent is super easy to set up in comparison with some of the other 8 person tents on the market. It usually takes 2 people to set up. The first setup will take approximately 20 minutes, but once you get used to it, you can set it up in 10.
Waterproof
The Klondike tent has seams that are above the ground. This forms a concave tub-like floor that repels water and moisture. This is one of the features of the Wenzel Klondike that sets it apart from other tents. While other tents’ seams are sometimes stitched inside out as a means to repel water, this one does not let anything through. The tent lining is made of water-repellent polyester with polyurethane coating.
Dimensions
The Klondike measures 16 feet X 11 feet X 6.5 feet (in height). If you are under 6.5 feet tall, you can easily walk around the tent without needing to crouch down. This tent easily fits a king-sized mattress with room to spare for gear and sitting around.
Weight
This tent weighs 27.3 pounds, which is pretty common for a tent this size made of polyester. It is much lighter than a canvas tent, which weighs around 80 pounds.
