Eureka Medium Solar Shade Tent
Customer Review: Great Tent
We took this tent in our luggage to Kauai. It is light weigh, easy to set up and sturdy. We were at the beach and it was quite windy. The tent with stood the wind no problem. It has a window on each side which is great for air flow and the front can be closed to create a changing area. there is even a line build in to hang things on. It kept us out of the sun when we needed it and was easy to roll up and put away for the next time. One of the best items I packed for our vacation!!
Customer Review: great investment
We bought this solar shade to take on vacation to the beaches in Belize and Mexico. It traveled extremely well, was very easy to set up and was a relief to have, particularly where shade was not available. We used it with a family of four and thought it was great. The only thing I will probably do in the future is add some of my own velcro strips to the back "window" flap. When the breeze blew, the flap would not stay shut with the two little tabs provided. Easy enough to fix on my own, though. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting to ensure they have access to shade - fits in a suitcase for travel as well.
What is more enjoyable than gathering the whole family and spending quality time for a few days outdoors at a campsite at State Park, Missouri for instance. There is no better way to have this kind of opportunity to get connected with Mother Nature to enjoy the scenery, flowers and wildlife.
It is understandable to get excited about your camping trip. However, it is important that you prepare everything beforehand as you may never know what nature has in store for us, be it good or bad.
