Advantages: compact, quick to set up
Disadvantages: wouldn’t want to hike any distance with it
I bought this tent about a month ago and finally had the opportunity to use it. Went camping a week ago. My family was staying in a large 10 man tent while I just used my Kamp-Rite oversize tent cot. Everyone laughed at my tent and said “won’t they let you stay in the real tent?”
Anyhow, a thunder storm started in the evening so we retired for the night at about 9:30pm. I was snug in my tent, with the fly attached. Shortly after retiring someone was outside my tent asking to borrow my flashlight. The heavy winds were blowing one side of their tent in so they were out in the storm trying to tie it down. They ended up tieing a tarp to the side to keep the rain out. By morning everything in their tent was soaked. I was nice and dry inside my tent and there was heavy rain and wind! No water came in and also there was no condensation inside. (The outside temp was 15 degrees celcius.) The next night was clear but about 5-7 degrees celcius and there was lots of condensation on it in the morning. I didn’t have the fly on the second night but I did have it all closed up. Next time I will try leaving a couple windows open. Overall, I love my new tent!”

Just received my tent cot as pictured here. I am a matured aged femme who travels and camps by myself. Everything I take with me has to be operated and handled by one person (me)with limited upper body strength.
I am able to carry this item and place it in and take it out of the car. Yet to try and put it in the roof rack carrier as I have to raise it over my head and have a crook shoulder. I had watched one video (not many out there), had a look at the info sheet that came with it and was able to put it up in around 3-4 minutes. Same for folding it up. Love it. Better than a swag for me. Plus there is plenty of room inside and not claustrophobic with all four sides being able to be opened up with good insect mesh to keep midgies out.
The dome rods seem a bit flimsy and a bit short although they do hold the dome up. The inside pockets seem to be back the front? Will need to put in another mattress as the one provided is insufficient for real comfort, too thin, too hard but will help against rising damp. Folded down it is pretty big and takes up the rear of the fourby hence a desire to put it on the roof when travelling.
I would like eyelets in the window coverings so I could use them as an awning. Will see what I can do myself about this.
Overall despite perceived shortcomings I love the product.

Comfortable but wet. I took this tent camping in the Appalachian mountains and had the rain fly attached properly, but after about 3 hours of rain, water started leaking in. By morning I was soaked. Also it isnt portable at all. The thing is gigantic and heavy even when folded up and put in the bag. Not meant for travel. Other than that I love how comfortable the tent is and how easy it is to set up.

Great one man test. easy to set-up and take down. with the kamp rite pad it makes the most comfortable spot to sleep. light rain one night without the rain fly and I kept dry. with the rainfly I think i could take on any storm. packs up a little big but, nice storage bag.
Still summer here but in the winter I think all tucked up with the rainfly is should stay nice and warm inside.

I bought my “Oversized Tent-Cot” at Bass Pro Shops in Kansas City, Ks 2 months ago. I have used it 4 times so far, and will be using it at least once a month for the foreseeable future. It has a permanent place in my 2 door 2013 Jeep Wrangler. I was looking at buying a 1 or 2 person dome tent, but saw that the 4 Wheel & Offroad Magazine staff really like their tent cots, so I thought I’d give it a try. I’ve been very satisfied so far.
Pro’s:
1. Easy to set up – I always set it up after dark and have no problems doing so.
2.Very sturdy frame inspires confidence – 350 lb rating.
3. All four bug screens zip open for excellent ventilation and access. I don’t think (correct me if I’m wrong) that the “collapsible” model opens up this way.
4. “Oversized” model provides more than adequate room, and the domed roof allows me to sit-up straight. I’m 6′ and 170 lbs and sleep/change clothes/relax in it and I would not choose the smaller size unless the “oversized” model won’t fit in your vehicle.
5. Cot design allows great flexibility in campsite selection. You don’t have to concern yourself very much with how smooth/dry the ground is. It’s heavy enough that you don’t need to stake it down except in high winds, yet it’s light enough to drag or carry when the shade moves.
Cons:
1: Bulky/heavy – best suited for car camping/overlanding, and awkward to carry long distances.
2. Foam pad migrates around from folding/unfolding and is on the thin side. I have removed the factory foam pad and unroll a standard sleeping pad inside after I set it up, but will try to develop a more permanent solution. EDIT: I’ve found that a Therm-a-rest Mondo King XL self-inflating mattress works great. It’s 30″ wide X 80″ long X 4″ thick. It fills the full width of the oversized Tent-Cot, and leaves enough space at each end for a pair of boots and drink bottles.
3. I have found 2 relatively minor flaws in the stitching. I don’t think they’ll ever cause a durability problem, but I’d prefer if the quality control was a little tighter.
4. I’ll probably never utilize it in the “lounge chair” mode, so it is slightly over-designed in that regard.
5. There is a hanging pocket at each end, but I’d prefer it if the openings on the pockets faced the inside of the tent.
