Description

Great for camping with family or friends, the Wenzel Klondike measures 16-feet by 11-feet. The Klondike sleeps eight, five in its 98 square feet of interior space, with room for sleeping three more in the 60 square foot screen room with its zip up walls. 6.5 feet of head room lets you stand up straight while inside the tent. The attached screen room can also be used as sun shelter, a picnic room, a gear room or a room just to relax in. A full mesh roof and two mesh windows keep bugs out and let the breeze in. In addition a rear mesh vent creates ground breeze. Weather Armor polyester fabric with a polyurethane water resistant coating protects from top to bottom. Double-stitched, lap- felled seams through out the body of the tent provide a shingle effect against water. All threads, zippers and webbing are treated with superior water repellency applications to enforce these critical areas. The Klondike has a fiberglass frame and uses Power Corners that increase the tent's stability in high winds. Included are two hanging pockets that create an area for items needing easy access, a storage duffel and a 10 year warranty against defects.

  • Great Tent at a Great Price.
Color: Grey/Taupe Style: Tent
Our first use of this tent was for a week long stay at a Lake. It's just small enough for most standard size tent pads, but you'll most likely go outside your tent pad with the tie outs, unless it's a larger tent pad. Most people say there's a "ripple" on the side of their tents after staking, but I didn't have that issue. Once I got all points staked and tied nice n tight, everything stayed up nicely n looked great. Setup was easy for the most part, especially with more than one person. Between the winds off the lake daily, and the heavy storm in the middle of the week I was a bit worried about the durability but everything held up perfectly. Overall the interior has plenty of space for most small families, air mattresses included. There were three of us, 2 adults and 1 child(10yrs old), plus one medium sized dog(Foxhound). We had a Queen Size and a Twin Size Air Matress in the "Cabin" of the Tent, 2 to 3 larger size folding Camp Chairs, 1 smaller size folding Camp Chair, and a small area for the Dog, along with a couple Storage Totes in the "Porch" of the Tent. The floor of the Tent is a "Bathtub" style floor and is made of a Tarp-like material so it's both durable and keeps water out. The one thing I'm not completely satisfied with is the shape of the floorplan. It's not completely square in the Cabin and the Cabin is slightly larger than the Porch. Combining that with the fact the the majority of the tie downs are attached directly to the bottom of the Tent makes it so putting down a Tarp to make the floor more durable is kinda tricky. My best solution for this is to get 2 tarps sized almost exact to the 2 sections of the tent. Sorry for the long winded review but hopefully it helps. ... show more

  • The perfect tent! Not capable of free-standing, but strong and stable when properly staked down
Color: Blue Style: Tent
Did not have time to setup/test-out prior to first camping trip. So first time took 30 mins with 2 ppl to setup in light drizzle. Did not come with instructions and although it's pretty obvious how it fits together, the optimal sequence isn't as obvious (I included the steps that worked for me in the bottom of review). Minutes after getting the tent up, we had a 1 hr downpour with 20 mph winds followed by light drizzle all night. The tent looked strong & steady with just a few minor leaks around zipper, but all the seams were dry. Water did pool over the porch room (as others have also said) and began slowly leaking in, but I believe that's because I didn't fully secure the tarp down properly (see step 16 below). Haven't experience rain after we properly secured the tarp, but the tarp did look much more taut. Overall, very happy with size, rain & wind protection. I liked that the circular room divider door completely protects the sleeping area from mesquites while coming in and out of the porch area all day and the dual zipper allows you to zip the bottom up so toddlers and pets can't escape and creepy crawlies can't crawl in to the sleeping area while allowing adults to easily step over for easy access to all rooms. It's also wide enough to fit an inflated queen size air mattress through. Rear sleeping compartment easily fits 2 queen size airbeds with about 1-1/2ft clearance at top and bottom of mattresses for your bags. Porch room is decent size for 2 chairs with room to put your feet up and still have an unobstructed center aisle to walk through. The included stakes are crappy and I'm convinced would of pulled-out during our first stormy night so buy some good ones (need 20). I got the 7" spikes with the green tie down heads - very secure in grass and not overly difficult to pull out (Harbor Freight sells a packet of 6 spikes for $3). These steps seem to work best for me: 1. Assemble poles. 2. Temporarily stake down 11'x16' ground tarp (sold separately - got mine at Harbor freight... good quality) 3. Unroll tent 4. Stake back 2 corners first, then back-middle. 5. Pull front taunt and center, then stake front 2 corners, then front-middle (i.e. entrance). 6. Now fold and tuck the ground cover tarp complete under the tent along the smaller front room section so rain doesn't collect under your tent (I may cut my tarp to size in the future). 7. Stake one side of the back room, then the other side. 8. Stake one side of the front room, then the other side. 9. Thread the 2 long thin poles through the back-room sleeves and secure the 2 poles together directly in their middles using a bowknot (the tricky part is keeping the bowknot directly in the middle of the thin poles when you mount them on the thick support poles). 10. Thread the shorter thin pole over the entrance. 11. Lay the thicker support poles near their mounting pin locations and mount the angled pole connector. 12. Have someone tall climb inside the tent and hold up the center where the 2 thin poles cross. 13. Quickly connect the 4 poles in the back room before installing the 2 poles in the front room. Install to top thin pole then tuck over the pin on the bottom. 14. Have someone help you pull the tarp over the tent. 15. Stake the guidelines in the back down first then the front, but keep them loose. 16. At each pole location, (a) hook the tarp in, (b) strap the Velcro around the pole and then (c) tie bowtie through the slotted opening on the black angled pole connector. Note, there's a Velcro strap over the center of the door (the first night, I was in a hurry to beat the rain and didn't see/do steps b & c and water pooled over the porch room and slowly soaked/dripped through). 17. Finally, evenly tighten the 5 guide wires. 18. Double check the stakes to ensure they didn't get pulled up. ... show more

Color: Grey/Taupe Style: Tent
The media could not be loaded. We are huge amazon shoppers for many years and never wrote a review. With this product We decided to do a review months after we used it. We went on a 10 day camping trip through northern Michigan with our 2 and 4 year olds. This was our first trip for the kids and the wife. I actually teach outdoor education, survival skills, team building, and everything that comes with it for over 15 years and countless experience prior. All I need in the woods is about 5 items and I would do just fine for quite some time. My wife and kids on the other hand need much, much, much more. So we planned this trip pretty hard core and invested in a ton of things that most would not -the main thing was a portable potty and a tent for that- and of course a tent. We picked this tent after searching and searching for what would work best for our family. We traveled from spot to spot only spending a few days at a time in locations and covered some miles. This tent saw the dunes, rugged campsites, perfect campsite, grass, sand, dirt, mud, rain, thunderstorms, flooding, you name it. It held strong. The kids were happy and most important the wife was happy. This was her very first camping trip and she loved it. This is something i was worried about and i went to great lengths to make this a perfect trip so we can do this over and over again. Camping is a dying art and i grew up camping and in my mind mastered it. So it was a win for our family and me. We waterproofed this tent with a spray. We made sure the fly was perfect and this thing was staked down properly each time. This is very very important. It takes time to get that right with a new tent but history has taught me a ton. I have read reviews and most of the bad ones i can tell you right now are people that had no clue what they were doing and did not put in the time to master the most important tool of a camping trip. The tent. We spent hours mastering this tent before we even hit the road. HOURS. When you pull up to set up you best have a plan and know your tent. If you dont then im sure you will take it out by writing a bad review and making guys like me laugh. Thanks for that. Put in the time. I am attaching a video of our biggest challenge on our massive adventure. We were in the middle of nowhere on our 6th day when the mother of all thunderstorms and flood maker arrived at our campsite. It kinda takes a lot for me to worry in any situation. I worried for about 2 min and knew we were good. Being confident in your tent when you are hours from a hotel is a great feeling. I can say this about this tent. My wife and kids hearts were pounding and they were straight up scared while I was loving the thrill. Once everyone knew we were not going to float away and our tent was water tight it turned out to be pretty fun and a heart pounding memory we all will keep forever. Put in the time, dont let camping become a dying art, and oh ya....PUT IN THE TIME. Your wife will thank you later.... ... show more
