Product Information

Knowing the outer size of the tent you would like to buy is another factor to consider when choosing the right 6 person tent.

The sewn-in groundsheet makes the Sendero 4 more prone to condensation, that builds up on the inside of the flysheet. Polyester does not have great thermal properties, so condensation is very typical of all polyester tents. What you can do is make good use of the air vents – there are plenty of them. If you’d like more, especially if you plan to camp in cooler weather, this Kampa camping heater is more than recommended to fight cold and condensation, or you can find the best camping heaters in this collection: The groundsheet of the Eurohike Sendero 4 is sewn-in, however it is worth protecting your groundsheet with a carpet and/or a footprint that goes under the tent. Eurohike Sendero 4 Accessories Footprint The front profile is slightly angled. This helps wind reducing wind load on one hand, but makes the front ‘vulnerable’ when it rains: you must close the front door when it rains otherwise the rain will just fall in. CanopyFor those who have been camping for years, you might be used to the bright morning inside your tent and sleeping through the early sunrise, however, if you are new to camping and have little ones coming with you, you might be concerned that the sun shining into your tent will mean very early wake-up time (think 5 am), or even late nights (e.g. 9 pm sunset).

Its versatile design means it's great for up to 8 campers. Alternatively, a smaller group with lots of gear could enjoy the convenience of a 'bedroom and storeroom' setup. Traditionally, tents get their rigid shape from poles crossing over the top. This helps the tent remain solid (and up) in the wind. You might want to have a look at the 5-person family tents too, as these are slightly roomier than a standard 4-berth tent, and most of them have a divider between the two bedrooms. Interestingly, the Eurohike Rydal 500 is one that I can recommend as it is not at all worse than the Sendero 4, and it’s slightly cheaper too. The frond door has zippers on both sides but it does not have at the bottom. This is a design thing and there’s a gap between the groundsheet and the front door on almost every tunnel tent. The added benefit of these bedrooms is that they are also cooler in hot weather and can be warmer when the weather is cool. Great for a more comfortable nights sleep. 6. Outer Pitch SizeThe experience with wind resistance however is mixed, to put it nicely. I already mentioned the replacement poles as your insurance policy for adverse weather, and there are more than one reports of snapping poles. In terms of all-round weather protection the fibreglass poles seem to be the weakest link. Although, there are ways to reduce the impact of strong winds on your tent, it is also true that pole tents, compared with air tents, are less able to withstand strong winds. The Sendero 4 has great water-protection: the polyester flysheet received a 2,000 mm HH waterproof coating, the seams are taped. The groundsheet is sewn-in (!!) which is not at all common at this price-range. The air-beamed sibling, the Eurohike Genus 400 for example does not have a sewn-in groundsheet. Size-wise the Eurohike Sendero 4 is average, almost identical in size to Eurohike’s probably most famous air tent, the Eurohike Genus 400 or the lesser know Eurohike Air 400.
