Kelty Green River 6 person Tent
Kelty Grand Mesa 6 3-Season Backpacking/Camping
Eureka is getting alot of recommends on this thread, but i haven't heard anyone say anything about the Kelty lines. Right now I am leaning rowards either the Kelty Grand Mesa or the Eureka Tetragon for the following reasons:
1.) Single door (i have young kids, and I don't want them getting up and letting themselves out. It's easier to block a single door.
2.) Its lighter, has aluminum poles, and has a vestibule
3.) Factory taped seams on fly/floor.
I've seen a few reviews at various sites, and all three seem to get good recommendation. Any experiences with Kelty bad or good?

My brother has a Kelty cabin tent. It's old but has lasted him at least 10 years. It is the reason we wanted to find a cabin tent, we picked up a Eureka Copper canyon 1312.
I say Kelty is good.
