Expensive "backyard camping" Tent
This was purchased for a car camping trip to the Northwest. After setting it up only a few times the poles began to split length wise. I will spare you the rig-a-ma-role I went through to get the '10 year warranty' honored and simply quote from the last email I was sent by the Wenzel representative.
"I have shipped you a new set of poles for your Blue Ridge tent and they will arrive in 3-4 business days. Please remember in the future that the Wenzel tent is meant for backyard camping in great weather. We do not warranty the tents or poles for any weather related events."
The Wenzel tent apparently is nothing more than a stupidly expensive backyard play tent. This also contradicts the description given on both Amazon and the Wenzel website;
"Perfect for camping with a group, the roomy Blue Ridge 7-person tent is a great companion no matter where you decide to set it up"
False advertising anyone? I have replaced it for next season with a tent from a more reputable company. I absolutely do NOT recommend this tent for any use you can get a much less expensive department store tent to play in.
