Not a big deal. We camped for four nights on the first night it rained heavily for eight hours straight from 2 a.m. I was thinking this tent would be difficult to set up being as large as it is, but it was not hard at all. The zippers can all be used with one hand as long as the tent is staked down correctly (ie: tight - which is what the set up instructions called for). I was very impressed by this tent's zippers and easy setup. It was very roomy, my wife and I slept on a king air mattress in the center, my nephew slept on a cot on one side, and my other two little ones slept on sleeping pads on the other side everyone had lots of spare room around them for their bags of cloths and other stuff. My family and I just used this tent for the first time this past weekend.

I plan on adding additional rain flies around the door and windows so that I can keep the windows open in heavy blowing rain. I am able to put it up while my wife watches the kids and the dogs stay in the car, but an extra pair of hands would make it a cinch. After reading the directions, Eureka says this is unnecessary. I did seal the seams because I always do this with new tents. Even in a downpour, we were dry as long as we kept the windows closed. On hot days, opening all 4 large windows keeps the tent cool. The fact that it can be divided into 3 rooms was a selling point but we haven't really used the room dividers. I'm 5'5'' and don't really need all the head room but the loft storage comes in handy. This is a very spacious tent with plenty of room for my family. Packability : It packs relatively compactly in comparison to its huge space. The loft storage is a good use of this space. Room & Storage: I'm only 5'5'', so there is way more headroom than I need. Ventilation: With four huge windows and the ample roof vent, the tent stays cool in warm weather and humidity is reduced. In blowing wind, with the windows open, I imagine water would get in. I did seal the seams even though the directions don't say it is necessary (I always do this with any new tent).
Weather Resistance: Did well in heavy rain-no leaky seams. A second pair of hands is helpful when putting the poles into the pins that hold them in place and for adding the rain fly, but a single person can do it.
My preschoolers were able to put the poles together. Setup: With two people, pitching the tent is easy.
