Quechua Arpenaz Family 4.1 Tent
Our Family Camping Trip: A Tent That Falls Short of Expectations
summarizeEditor's Summary
We were stoked to try out the Quechua Arpenaz Family 4.1 tent on our family camping trip, but after a few trips, we've got mixed feelings about this tent. It's got some awesome features, but there are some major drawbacks that left us disappointed. The floor can get pretty damp, so you'll want to bring a good air mattress to complement it. The ventilation issues are a total game-changer, especially during hot summer months. We were expecting a lot more from this tent, but it's not the worst we've ever used.
