Set Up & Features - Core 10 Person Tent with Screen Room 

Nope and I totally am running out of space, that is for sure. Some girls collect shoes and purses, I like tents. Ha Ha! If you girls ever get down there, let me know I'll tell you where you want to camp! ~RVA~

Ha Ha tent sisters unite! Love different tents for different ways of camping.

I love all the space in this tent! Enough room for friends and family. Easy to set up, I really am enjoying it. All the windows are everything for me to let the light in and breeze through. Thanks for stopping by and watching. ~RVA~

Thanks Nicole. I really love this tent for my lake camping trips. It's really perfect. It's really cool that you have a light switch on the inside and one on the outside and heck that it even has its own light too. Nice touch. Love to take my kayaks there at that location too. ~RVA~

Thank you John! Yes I needed something bigger from my backpacking tents and this is working out great. Appreciate you stopping by and watching. ~RVA~

@@keithrudge sure thing!

Those windows are everything. And of course, they close up for privacy too. I have an inflatable sofa that I put in there too and a stand alone hammock too. It's all so much fun! ~RVA~

@@RVAHikerGirl Wow! Lots of save for sure! I camped by myself once with a 3 person tent … had enough space to put a small chair in - was perfect for me in the evening when the bugs came out and before I went to sleep. I really like your other tent for a coveted eating area too! 👌👍

Ah yes, this location if 1 of my favs in my state and I got back several times each year. I can't stay away, LOL! ~RVA~

Ha Ha! I understand, it’s a pretty great camp location. ❤️ ~ RVA~

Absolutely, you are so welcome! I love it and I am so picky about tents. This one checks all the boxes. Thanks, Jeryl Annee for watching! ~RVA~

@@RVAHikerGirl I really enjoy your videos. I've learned so much. I am in the process of converting my SUV for when I am able to hit the road...even if it is part time. I appreciate all that you share with us.

Yeah I can’t do dark tents. They are great to keep the light out if it wakes you up. But I am not a person who sleeps in really when I camp. I’m usually up before the sun. I love this one because it’s bright and has windows for ventilation and great views. Love Core products. Glad you found a tent that works for you. Everyone likes something different in a tent. But once you find it, you are a happy camper!

Thank you! All my research paid off on this tent for sure. Very happy with her! ~RVA~

Thanks so much! It's one of my fav spots in VA to camp. Appreciate you stopping by and checking out the channel. ~RVA~

Highly recommend seam ceiling and spray ceiling this tent. I do this to all of my tents that are made of anything outside of Dyneema. Better safe than sorry when a big old storm pops up. You don’t want any surprises when you’re camping like that.

Actually I have a small fee standing hammock that would work great in there! Tents are so much fun, no matter what size they are. Thanks so much Natureman. -RVA~

Thanks a whole bunch! ~RVA~

True, True! Ha Ha! When you camp as much as I do, you want space to move around so you're not so cramped. Tent lover right here for sure. And great locations make it a great time! ~RVA~

Thank you! Really, I’m surprised. I was just there last week and tons and tons of campsites were available. Rudd’s Creek, Longwood and Occoneechee SP on the same lake also have campsites. Wish you luck in trying to find someplace cool to take your travel trailer to that sounds like fun.

@@RVAHikerGirl ...one thing people do is just reserve, reserve. reserve and they don't bother to cancel, which is sad because someone else could have enjoyed the sight. We noticed the same thing when we were there.

Thank you. It's for sure a home away from home. Home is where you pitch it right? I can't wait to see a video of your 1st night in your new truck tent. ~RVA~

Yes, they advertise it's a 2-minute setup. I say that's pretty close after you have done it a few times. Minus hammering the stakes in. It's really a great home away from home. Thanks for stopping by the channel and checking out this video. ~RVA~

Yes different tents for different types of camping. This one is especially good for lake camping being so light and airy. Now when my friends come camping I have room for them too. Happy Hump Day Kaat! ~RVA~

Ha Ha, right! A little extra space never hurts. Thanks MaxG for checking this one out. ~RVA~

Absolutely. I can't touch the ceiling, not even close. It's 7 - 8ft high maybe at the center. And you can set it up in 5 minutes, excluding staking it. I had it in some knarly winds too and it held up like a champ. Really impressed with it so far. If he has any questions, send him my video. Happy to help if I can. ~RVA~

I already sent him the link to the video. Also, I like the new opening for your videos.👍

No better place to be! My all time fav! Have a blast!

@@RVAHikerGirl thanks will be checking out this tent as well. any other recommendations? family of 3 and a dog.

@@JessicaNorwood-wf5vr core makes a 6 person tent as well. It’s a bit easier to set up than this one.

I love having space in a tent to move around, stand up and house all my gear. This tent for sure does all of that and more. It's a great color and just lots of great light coming in. The windows don't leak. The way they are designed, you keep them zipped up high under where the tent is seam sealed. You know I am big on lots of lights at camp every time I go out. It wouldn't be one of my campsites without them. Thanks, Switchback for watching! ~RVA~

Yes! It's crazy how small my backpacking tents are compared to this one. When weight is not an issue, why not enjoy some space and room to move, right? Ha Ha! ~RVA~

@@RVAHikerGirl Exactly! Why not?✌️

Oh I haven’t really used the room divider it is dark gray in color but I don’t really know if it keeps light out. It’s not super thick not sure if that helps or not.

Glad you enjoyed the video. So I have many kinds of stakes that I bring because you never know if the ground is going to hard over saturated. I have big orange spiral sand stakes from Walmart, I have some of their longer stakes for windy conditions, I have msr ground hogs in multiple lengths and a bunch of random ones from other tents. Those shiny silver ones bend and break that a lot of tents come with. I like placing 2 longer stakes on opposite corners to really hold the tent incase a thunderstorm pops up which has happened many times to me. I always stake out the fly too as that helps to support tents in windy conditions. Hope this info is useful. ~RVA~

Love hearing this. The website would have the exact dimensions. But 2 normal size folding chairs work great. You could fit 3. I usually do 2 and a small table in between. Yes I seam seal and spray seal all of my tents unless they are made from dyneema (backpacking tents) I use a Walmart spray sealer and a black tube of seam sealer that is sold at REI. I don't recall either name, but you will see both pop up if you do a search on their websites. Hope that helps. ~RVA~

When I am car camping I like to have more space than when I am backpacking. LOL! Since weight isn't an issue, I opted to get a larger tent. So when I do have family and friends to join me on camping trips I have room for them to sleep. Home is where you pitch your tent right? For a night or for a week. Ha Ha. Thanks for stopping by and watching. ~RVA~

@@RVAHikerGirl It makes perfect sense to go spacious when your car does the transportation:-)

Oh I wasn't dry at all. I was holding the screened in porch down, because a thunderstorm popped up and I thought it was going to blow away in the wind. I didn't have time to fully stake it out before the storm hit.) I was soaked from the rain coming in the sides. I spray sealed the top, so no rain was coming in from the top just the sides. Hope that helps. ~RVA~

You are welcome. Hmm maybe 3 and then 2 twins at the bottom. That’s totally just a guess

@@RVAHikerGirl Thank you, I appreciate your response!

Its doing good. Love the windows that allow for great views and ventilation. I seamed sealed it like I don't with most of my tents for piece of mind. So far no leaks. ~RVA~

Not 100% sure. The website says 14' by 10' for the tent. If I had to guess I may say it might add a few additional feet. The screen room is attached and it's not removable. ~RVA~

You are welcome! I hope it was helpful. ~RVA~

I would check the website for measurements. They are pretty big doors. Maybe a little wider than a standard room door. Sorry I don't have that tent nearby to be able to pull out an measure for you.

The mattresses are UST Gear Fillmatics. They are 4" thick and are self inflatable. Most comfortable camp mattress I have ever slept on.

@@RVAHikerGirl Thank you! Will be looking into these,

Can you zip up the air vents inside or do they stay open?

Ps where did you purchase the product and for how much? Thanks

@@keithrudge no tent is waterproof unless it’s made from dyneema like ultra light backpacking tents. All tents made from materials other than dyneema no matter they claim, should be seam and spray sealed, including this one. I sealed the whole tent before camping in it. There’s nothing worse than waking up in the middle of the night with a leaky tent and all of your gear is wet. Been there, done that. It’s not fun. No I’ve. Ever had any leaks since I sealed it prior to taking it out.

@@RVAHikerGirl exactly right, thanks for the info.. carry on camping.. 😎

@@keithrudge you know it! Always happy to help!

Second question, where is that camping spot?

Glad you enjoyed the video. No the footprint is sold separately.

@@arisistible1 North Bend in Virginia

@@RVAHikerGirl figured so, it didn’t mention it on the site nor did my other tents come with one. Thank you.

@@arisistible1 I’m not sure if any tent comes with a ground cover. I’m pretty sure they are always a separate purchase. But this is a great light and airy tent.

No the ground sheet is a separate purchase. I think as with most tent companies they are usually always sold separately. You can find it on the Core Equipment website. ~RVA~

Hi, yes I mention in the video that I am impressed with the quality of the construction of this 10p tent. I had it high winds on top of a mountain and it did great. I used longer and stronger stakes to make sure it was anchored down well. But for very windy parts of the world, a lower profile tent would handle those sorts of constant conditions better. Thanks for watching from the UK. I watch tons of RU-vidrs from the UK. ~RVA~

I always seam seal and spray seal all of my tents with the exception of tents made with dyneema which are usually ultralight backpacking tents. Better to be safe than sorry and have all your gear get soaked.

I mean you could, but I personally would not want to. It would be tough set up and it's heavy. They have a 6 person and a 4 person tent as well. The 4 person is an easy sent up and it tall and roomy like this one. Just no front porch.

No rain got inside the tent at all. I closed it all up and shut all the windows. The screened in porch now I got drenched with the rain coming in from the screens on all sides but the storm blew in an I had to stand inside and hold it down so those winds didn't blow it across the lake. LOL!

Yep Yep! I sure do love her though! It's crazy after sleeping in that and going to one of my backpacking tents. hee hee ~RVA~

For safety I don't share where I live. But I travel all over Virginia and the southeast. This location in the video at Buggs Island.

@@RVAHikerGirl Thank you! I wasn't asking where you live, just where the camp site is. Sorry for any misunderstanding. Love your videos and follow them often.

@@agjomarkaj No worries, I could have misread your comment. The campsite is at Kerr Lake on the VA/NC border. Thanks for watching and supporting the channel. Very much appreciate it. ~RVA~

Can you share the site # you were at? I just bought this tent and the site looks amazing. I’ve been looking in the Kerr state campground map, but there are a lot of site numbers.

@@kristinbrinley3922 North bend Park C section has a lot of great sites as well as B. Nice facilities. Prettiest lake in VA but I am partial, I live about 5 miles away.

Sure this in at Kerr Lake in southern VA at North Bend Campground. Rudd’s Creek and Occoneechee State Park also have campsites on the water too.

@@RVAHikerGirl awesome thank you! Love your videos 🙌

Welcome to my channel. You would be right. The vestibule keeps the rain out of the tent. It’s great sitting in the screen porch while it’s raining.

​@@RVAHikerGirlthanks for the information, nice to see other people enjoying tent camping,,,its different to me than a camper,,

@@tonyadouroux-qn8fo so many ways to enjoy the outdoors. No matter how you like to camp, as long as you love it do it the way that makes you happy, thats all that matters. I love tent camping, it one of my most favorite things to do!

@@mariajewelpatterson7157 no it’s a separate purchase. You don’t really need it as the floor of the tent is thick tarp like material.

@@RVAHikerGirl Does the air intake has mesh screen?

@@mariajewelpatterson7157 air intake? Do you mean the screened in front porch? Or the windows?

@@RVAHikerGirl the floor vent - I saw like an opening at the bottom of the tent

@@mariajewelpatterson7157 hmm it doesn’t have a opening in the tent. There is a Velcro section where you can run an electrical cord inside the tent, but maybe it was a shadow or something you saw.

@@keithrudge I can’t as I don’t own that one. But I do own a 6p and a 4p tent from them and I like them both.

No, it just depends on how much time I have and how long I am going to be camping for etc. On this trip I was there for 3 days and had lots of time. You don't need one, the bathtub on this tent is strong and pretty durable.

Thanks

@@StanleyDymeck-mp3yp Sure thing!

I personally wouldn’t try it. It’s very top heavy and the set up instructions stay for 2 ppl for raise the corners up at the same time. I would use something smaller for just 1 person. This company has lots of different sized tents. I also have their 6 person and 4 person tents.

Not off the top of my head, but I have a Kerr Lake video I did there shows several of the waterfront campsites including this one and it states several of the campsite numbers. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-kjRjwyu54EI.html

Awesome. Thank you!

@@parolee3487 you can’t see anything? I’m confused. There are directions when you purchase tent that explain how to set it up.

@@RVAHikerGirl 2 dimensional uncolored directions

I have a huge screen in porch to the right of the tent, its in the video several times. It's nearly as big as this 10 person tent. The vestibule porch Is the perfect amount of space for 2 chairs to be set up and enjoy the afternoon without the bugs biting. If you want more room in a tent than just by one with a bigger porch attached. Or just buy a separate tent like I did. For me its the perfect size.

@@RVAHikerGirl I have a 10 by 20 with a q&a cubes porch each room is 10*10

Yes, I have used it several times as a base camp for section hiking the AT. It worked out great for that. And it was perfect for lake camping too. Love it. ~RVA~
