I have to agree with all reviews posted – 2nd time out poles (main support) and one of the rain-fly broke. This tent is not even water “resistant,” so don’t take it out if there is any chance of so much as a light shower. I used mine this weekend for only the second time since purchase, setting it up on Friday evening. Saturday morning, it began to sprinkle, and almost immediately, the leaks began developing, all over the entire surface of the tent. Not the seams, nor the floor, but every part of the walls and ceiling started dripping water. The wind started blowing and although the tent poles handled the wind, it was so noisy that there was no way you could sleep.
Good thing we are all troopers and we didn’t let your HORRIBLE product ruin our trip. Buy a couple of tarps…because you will need them.If and when I buy a new tent, I will go with Ozark again, and will not buy it from walmart….if you watch a doc. Called “Walmart, the high cost of low prices” it will explain to you why the product there is so cheap. There was a breeze so I put bricks around the edge, and the rain tarp didn’t cover the whole of the window like it was supposed to, but that was it was a little hard to set up so it was understandable. It worked well that night and I got some rain in but nothing serious.
You may find new, used, damaged & non-working items. We have not tested or sorted these pallets in any way. It is highly recommended that you inspect the pallets in person before bidding.
Won’t endorse this tent nor will i buy one like it to replace it. I’m going to take it back and look somewhere else. I explained for the same price I could buy another tent for my cub scout at that price and there reply was (yes you could) and she said that there was nothing they could do. So I called Walmart talked to them and they offered to replace it. I called Ozark and explained what I thought my boys did. They said that they have replacement poles and the cost would be $34 plus shipping.
From a positive perspective, the lightweight design increases portability which is certainly important in carrying the tent to its intended location. From a negative perspective, the weight ozark trail canopy is indicative of a lack of high quality material and components used throughout the shelter. The included carrying bag does not have wheels to aid in transportation, but at only 29 lbs.
We earn commissions from purchases you make using the retail links in our product reviews. So there you have it, when looking at just the ability to keep ice cold over a period of 6 days the Pelican has just slightly won, but we are talking about decimal points. I have to say that I am very impressed with the performance of the Ozark Trail 45Q cooler. This cooler is not only smaller in its overall size but also a fraction of the price of the competition. Like the Ozark Trail 45 Qt Rolling Thermocooler, the Pelican 45QW Elite Wheeled Cooler includes a lid with inch notches and also includes centimeters for those outside of the United States.
