Selecting a Tent
Fortunately, there are all kinds of tents for weekend car campers, Everest expeditions, and everything in-between. Here are a few things to keep in mind:

Expect the Worst
In general, it's wise to choose a tent that's designed to withstand the worst possible conditions you think you'll face. For instance, if you're a summer car camper in a region where weather is predictable, an inexpensive family or all purpose tent will likely do the trick--especially if a vehicle is nearby and you can make a mad dash for safety when bad weather swoops in! If you're a backpacker, alpine climber or bike explorer, or if you like to car camp in all seasons, you'll want to take something designed to handle more adversity.

Three- and Four-Season Tents
For summer, early fall and late spring outings, choose a three-season tent. At minimum, a quality three season tent will have lightweight aluminum poles, a reinforced floor, durable stitching, and a quality rain-fly. Some three-season tents offer more open-air netting and are more specifically designed for summer backpacking and other activities. Many premium tents will feature pre-sealed, taped seams and a silicone-impregnated rain-fly for enhanced waterproofness.

For winter camping or alpine travel, go with a four season model. Because they typically feature more durable fabric coatings, as well as more poles, four-season tents are designed to handle heavy snowfall and high winds without collapsing. Of course, four-season tents exact a weight penalty of about 10 to 20 percent in trade for their strength and durability. They also tend to be more expensive.

Domes, Tunnels and Sacks
Tents are broadly categorized into two types, freestanding, which can stand up on their own, and those that must be staked down in order to stand upright. Freestanding tents often incorporate a dome-shaped design, and most four-season tents are constructed this way because a dome leaves no flat spots on the outer surface where snow can collect. Domes are also inherently stronger than any other design. Meanwhile, many three-season models employ a modified dome configuration called a tunnel. These are still freestanding, but they require fewer poles than a dome, use less fabric, and typically have a rectangular floor-plan that offers less storage space than a dome configuration. Many one and two-person tents are not freestanding, but they make up for it by being more lightweight. Because they use fewer poles, they can also be quicker to set up than a dome.

Size Matters
Ask yourself how many people you'd like to fit in your fabric hotel now and in the future. For soloists and minimalists, check out one-person tents. If you're a mega-minimalist, or if you have your eye on doing some big wall climbs, a waterproof-breathable bivy sack is the ticket. Some bivy sacks feature poles and stake points to give you a little more breathing room. Also, if you don't need bug protection and you want to save weight, check out open-air shelters.

Families who plan on car camping in good weather can choose from a wide range of jumbo-sized tents that will accommodate all your little ones with room to spare. A wide range of capacities is also available for three- and four-season backpacking and expedition tents. Remember, though, the bigger the tent you buy, the heavier it will be, although it's easy to break up the tent components among several people in your group. It's also helpful to compare the volume and floor-space measurements of models you're considering.

Customer Review: Awesome tent for the money
My wife and I (plus Dalmation!) have now been camping in this tent three times in the Hill Country outside Austin in Texas. Twice we have experienced serious thunderstorms (and if you have been to Texas, you'll know that I am not exaggerating when I say they were bad) and have stayed dry both times. Also has excellent ventilation for the hot and humid weather here. Thoroughly recommend this tent for the money.
Customer Review: Don't waste your money
Don't waste your time and money buying this tent. I was at the beach the wind was blowing and all the sand came into the tent, also it rained and the water leaks on the edges......better buy wenzel tents cheaper and better quality.

Are you ready to rev up that motor-home of yours, packed and perked-up to hitch up the camper and trailer to it and hit the road for your Florida RV camping holiday? Well, not so fast buddy, is the signal given to newbie campers keen on doing so - for there are some basic ground-rules and tips that can make this the most memorable holiday experience of your life if you do it right. We begin by answering the commonest questions of anybody heading Florida-way: from dithering between going far south or heading to the Keys, from deciding between Orlando or dropping by the fantasy area of Disney world to first narrowing down where your interests lie and what Florida has on offer for you that is worthy of checking out, before you head out that door! We highlight the best of Florida RV camping, on road, beaches and the Everglades, for all camping enthusiasts heading that away.

The best thing to do is start by deciding what appeals to you most when thinking up that Florida RV camping trip; if you have nothing particular in mind or if you can think up something of interest, both ways are a good measure to juggle the inner traveler's mind. How about the beach or are there kiddy interests to consider by way of Disney World? Nature lovers would find the magnificent outdoors and animals in Florida a real treat for their eyes, so that's another possibility.

If Beach-fun is your kind of a Florida RV camping holiday, it's a great way to go for the Keys over the Overseas Highway offer varied site options that include a cruise opportunity over the blue waves of the Atlantic along an open highway that's memorable in its own way. The expansive, pristine sands of the Keys offer endless pleasurable ways to spend your time in the sun, lolling under a shade or simply glowing in the sun, sipping your cares away in a cocktail.

Most holidaymakers choose Florida for a visit to fabulous Disney World and truly this is a hell of place to go, whether you are an adult or a child as this fantasy land is ideal for all age-groups. It's easy enough taking that RV to Disney World and its many modern facilities at Disney Fort Wilderness, with many campsites close by, make it ideal and cost-effective to holiday here with family and have fun too besides saving on hotel accommodation.

Most campers with vehicles and family size trailers looking to head Florida-way are enamored of the State's numerous natural parks and gaming reserves with in-built campsites and modern amenities housed in them so you park your RV and soak in the natural scenery too. Biking enthusiasts can enjoy as can trek lovers who are advised to head to Florida Caverns State Park; lovers of the ocean can try Bahia Honda State Park but there are over a hundred parks in Florida just waiting to be explored - so get going and find them all.
