The large Eureka Titan family tent offers room to roam with a 128 square foot area and enough space to comfortably sleep eight campers. The near vertical walls help to maximize the interior space. It also comes with a removable internal divider to create two rooms for added privacy. It features a number of homey touches, including a corner closet that enables the use of hangers, clothesline rings, and mesh storage pockets on the ceiling panels. This tent has two large doors for easy entry/exit as well as a total of six windows for optimal ventilation. It's protected from the elements by a heavy-duty bathtub floor made of 4 ounce 210D oxford nylon that repels water. The multi-coated 75D Stormshield polyester fly improves durability and resistance to UV, acid rain, and tearing. The stable, long-lasting frame consists of a mix of lightweight, shockcorded 6000 Series aluminum poles that easily connect to a hub, thanks to the color-coded clip system.

Then known as the Eureka Tent & Awning Company, its first wares were canvas products--most notably, Conestoga wagon covers and horse blankets for nineteenth century American frontiersmen--as well as American flags, store awnings, and camping tents. The company increased production of its custom canvas products locally throughout the 1930s and during the 1940 and even fabricated and erected the IBM "tent cities" just outside Binghamton. The seven acres of tents housed thousands of IBM salesmen during the company’s annual stockholders meeting, which had since outgrown its previous locale. In the 1940s, with the advent of World War II and the increased demand for hospital ward tents, Eureka expanded operations and began shipping tents worldwide. Ultimately, upon the post-war return of the GIs and the resultant housing shortage, Eureka turned its attention to the home front during the 1950s by supplying awnings for the multitude of mobile homes that were purchased. In 1960, Eureka’s new and innovative Draw-Tite tent, with its practical, free standing external frame, was used in a Himalayan Expedition to Nepal by world renowned Sir Edmund Hillary, the first person documented to summit Mt. Everest only six years earlier. In 1963, Eureka made history during its own Mt. Everest ascent, with more than 60 of its tents sheltering participants from fierce 60+ mph winds and temperatures reaching below -20°F during the first all American Mt. Everest Expedition. For backpackers and families, Eureka introduced its legendary Timberline tent in the 1970s. Truly the first StormShield design, this completely self-supporting and lightweight backpacking tent became one of the most popular tents the entire industry with sales reaching over 1 million by its ten year anniversary. Eureka tents have also traveled as part of several historic expeditions, including the American Women’s Himalayan Expedition to Annapurna I in 1978 and the first Mt. Everest ascents by a Canadian and American woman in 1986 and 1988. In recent history, tents specially designed and donated by Eureka sheltered Eric Simonson and his team on two historic research expeditions to Mount Everest, this time in a quest for truth regarding the 1924 attempted summit of early English explorers George Mallory and Andrew Irvine. During the 1999 expedition, the team made history finding the remains of George Mallory, but the complete mystery remained unsolved. Returning in 2001 to search for more clues, the team found amazing historical artifacts which are now on display at the Smithsonian. Amazon.com Tent Guide Selecting a Tent Fortunately, there are all kinds of tents for weekend car campers, Everest expeditions, and everything in-between. Here are a few things to keep in mind: Expect the Worst In general, it's wise to choose a tent that's designed to withstand the worst possible conditions you think you'll face. For instance, if you're a summer car camper in a region where weather is predictable, an inexpensive family or all purpose tent will likely do the trick--especially if a vehicle is nearby and you can make a mad dash for safety when bad weather swoops in! If you're a backpacker, alpine climber or bike explorer, or if you like to car camp in all seasons, you'll want to take something designed to handle more adversity. Three- and Four-Season Tents For summer, early fall and late spring outings, choose a three-season tent. At minimum, a quality three season tent will have lightweight aluminum poles, a reinforced floor, durable stitching, and a quality rain-fly. Some three-season tents offer more open-air netting and are more specifically designed for summer backpacking and other activities. Many premium tents will feature pre-sealed, taped seams and a silicone-impregnated rain-fly for enhanced waterproofness. For winter camping or alpine travel, go with a four season model. Because they typically feature more durable fabric coatings, as well as more poles, four-season tents are designed to handle heavy snowfall and high winds without collapsing. Of course, four-season tents exact a weight penalty of about 10 to 20 percent in trade for their strength and durability. They also tend to be more expensive. Domes and Tunnels Tents are broadly categorized into two types, freestanding, which can stand up on their own, and those that must be staked down in order to stand upright. Freestanding tents often incorporate a dome-shaped design, and most four-season tents are constructed this way because a dome leaves no flat spots on the outer surface where snow can collect. Domes are also inherently stronger than any other design. Meanwhile, many three-season models employ a modified dome configuration called a tunnel. These are still freestanding, but they require fewer poles than a dome, use less fabric, and typically have a rectangular floor-plan that offers less storage space than a dome configuration. Many one and two-person tents are not freestanding, but they make up for it by being more lightweight. Because they use fewer poles, they can also be quicker to set up than a dome. Size Matters Ask yourself how many people you'd like to fit in your fabric hotel now and in the future. For soloists and minimalists, check out one-person tents. If you're a mega-minimalist, or if you have your eye on doing some big wall climbs, a waterproof-breathable bivy sack is the ticket. Some bivy sacks feature poles and stake points to give you a little more breathing room. Also, if you don't need bug protection and you want to save weight, check out open-air shelters. Families who plan on car camping in good weather can choose from a wide range of jumbo-sized tents that will accommodate all your little ones with room to spare. A wide range of capacities is also available for three- and four-season backpacking and expedition tents. Remember, though, the bigger the tent you buy, the heavier it will be, although it's easy to break up the tent components among several people in your group. It's also helpful to compare the volume and floor-space measurements of models you're considering.

Just what I was looking for. by G. D. Mathews (Phoenix)

We bought this to replace an older Eureka tent. Our old tent was similar to the Sunrise 10, except it had aluminum poles...and this was one of the few aluminum poled tents I could find. Our old tent survived gale force winds (we slept in the truck during that event). On another trip the 45mph remnants of a hurricane bent the tent nearly in half for 6 straight hours. I wanted that kind of durability and solid construction in my new tent. We made our first outing with this tent without setting the tent up in the backyard ahead of time, and it was after dark when we got to our camp site but set-up went very well. There's a little umbrella hub at the peak of the tent and four identical sets of tent poles, so no possibility of mistake. It might *barely* be possible for one person to set up the tent alone (because of the size of the tent), but with 2 people it was a piece of cake. About a 15-20min process from start to finish. The rain fly has one long pole and two short poles that form the brims over the doorways. The short poles are installed after the fly is in place...simple. The rain fly attaches to the tent corners with nylon straps and buckles, that are then cinched into place. The buckles are like what you'd see on a backpack. I'm not sure about the durability, but they were easy to use. The tent clips to the aluminum poles with nylon straps and plastic clips. A similar system on our previous Eureka tent lasted for years without breaking. There are plenty of guy points on the tent, two on each side, one on each door and four at the tent corners. Each with reinforced backing and sturdy stitching. I have no doubt that with the guy lines in place, the tent will survive anything short of a gale...and I'm kind of looking forward to putting it to the test! Inside the tent there are also several stitched in nylon loops for hanging lanterns, clothes, etc. The tent comes with a center divider, but it's nylon mesh and I'm honestly not sure why I'd use it. Plenty of window space and hi-lo vents in the doors. And of course the tent is tall enough to stand up in, which is very nice. As luck would have it, we had a good rain on our first trip to the woods. Not a gully washer, but definitely a good hard rain with steady wind. The tent stayed dry. The rainfly diverted most of the water away from the tent, doors and windows--and the waterproofing did a great job of repelling the rest. On our next trip we got some moderate wind. Between the tent stakes and a couple of guy lines on the windward side, we had no problems. I was actually surprised by how little "sail" there was to such a large tent. It's too early to be completely sure, but overall I'm completely satisfied.

We ordered from Amazon and received it before the stated ship date! This was a pleasant surprise. We just pitched the tent. I, myself, tried but failed. I needed my husband to help me. He probably could do it himself. It is huge inside and the zippers work great. Lots of windows but wish there was a sky light. Love the space. I plan on setting 4 cots in it with room for our luggage. It is plenty big for what I need. It took about 15 minutes for two to set up..including the rain fly. I had a Eureka prior to this one and chose this one because of the aluminum poles and "bathtub floor". The kids love the two room divide. Its an expensive tent but I believe you get what you pay for. The only draw back is that they are no longer made in the USA.

I set this up in rainy conditions and although it was a bit tough to set up by myself for the first time, once it is set up it was very sturdy and seems to be extremely well built. A bit odd that the larger side windows don't open into doorways like I am used to in tents this size (my last tent was actually bigger than this one, but had fiberglass poles that didn't hold up well), but I am not complaining. Can't wait to test it out in a windstorm or some other really bad weather and see how it holds up. Easily fits two queen mattresses side by side (in case you are wondering), and the near vertical walls and high ceiling are a plus for moving around in the tent. I don't think that you can go wrong with this tent.

Awesome Tent by Mark Jenson

This tent is simply awesome. It is, however, very big, which is what I wanted and expected. The design and quality are top notch. I put it together, by myself, first time in about 15-20 minutes. I am 6' 4" and someone much shorter would certainly need help. I can stand up inside with no problem and my family and I love this thing. We have not used the tent in any bad weather (rain or worse) but I have no concerns about being able to hold in wind even though it is very tall because there are many guy points, etc. to tie it down if necessary. The poles are strong and sturdy. The rain fly is not a coverall and I'm concerned about being caught in a severe rainstorm but other reviewers have given it good marks there so ... I don't know. I'm very pleased and would recommend it to anyone that loves to car camp. Be sure you have a large enough tent pad when picking a camp site!

Given the problems inherant in the Euerka Condo - see our review, http://www.amazon.com/review/product/B000PW79AC/ref=sr_1_3_cm_cr_acr_img?%5Fencoding=UTF8&showViewpoints=1 the Titan really is the flagship luxury tent in the Eureka lineup right now and worthy of the title. Every window and door is well protected from the weather allowing great circulation due to overhangs form the fly. interior space is well designed although optional family gear lofts designed for this line of tents do not fit particularly well, which suprised us. Having used Eureka tents for decades I must say that the only real negative is the lack of any built in slack in the doors. Euraka used to make sure that even when the floor was stretched tight that the door walls had enough material to allow easy use. This has clearly ended in their recent tents. Because I usually pack my tents with the door open to aid air exchange, now I must make sure that I leave some slack before staking, or the door will not close - Not a big deal but something that a few years ago I didn't have to even think about due to their fantastic designs. The tent does have significant sail area, but as long as tie-out are used on the upper corners as specified all is well. Used this summer and a large gathering in worst possible conditions - at the base of a Mt.pass which became a wind tunnel every evening, plus two thunderstorms which took down or destroyed at least 50% of the campers tents. No damage to our Titan or my son's Timberline. Way to go Eureka! The Titan is not a perfect tent, but it is close. The only other issue I have, not really a problem because it is subjective, is that I find it hard to warm to the black and tan color scheme. It may not trouble others, but I am still expecting the forest green and gray eureka used for so many years.
