The tent poles broke on the first trip out!

I have used this tent for 10 years now. Really easy and quick to set up. More importantly, it is extremely sturdy in a severe storm, and will keep you dry. Whatever tent you buy be sure to get one that has a rain fly that covers the whole tent.

You can pay hundreds of dollars more for tents with lightweight fiberglass or plastic poles.
These poles will break unexpectedly within 2-3 years. Their advantage is that they are a LITTLE lighter in weight.

If you want a good reliable tent, go with the Eureka Timberline 2.
You will thank yourself you did. When you're in it in the midst of a windy heavy rainstorm in the middle of the night, you'll never know it because you slept peacefully through it.

Just an after thought. I recommend the 2 man tent be used by 1 man, with gear put inside. The same tent can be used by boyfriend/girlfriend, any gear left outside. If you want to sleep two people with some room inside for gear, go for the Eureka Timberline 4 Man tent.

I have traveled the country for years by motorcycle. This tent has kept me dry and comfortable in all my travels. I have to admit, because of the aluminum support poles the whole tent package is a LITTLE heavier. But the ease and quick setup, and sturdiness of the tent more than makes up for the SLIGHT weight difference. Many times I have camped next campers using more expensive fiber pole tents with less than covering rain flys. Comments include: we woke up wet in the middle of the night, the wind was blowing and the flapping of the tent kept us up nearly all night. Plus the fact, the fiber tent pole campers tell me that after 2-3 years the fiber poles dry out and break during setup and windy conditions.
I love my Eureka Timberline 2 tent after all these years of camping. If it didn't do the job keeping me dry and comfortable I would have searched out another tent that did a looooong time ago. You find something better, let me know.
BTW: Because I travel and camp by motorcycle, I eliminated the Eureka Timberline 2 stuff bag. I pack the tent into a Thermarest pack bag which is 4 to 5 inches shorter, and 2-3 inches narrower than the original stuff bag. Once again, this tent is an overall winner by me.

My son and I used the Eureka Timberline Tent last week out Boy Scout Camp, for a backpacking tent. This tent performed very well and I would recommend it.

I bought this tent in 1987 and still have it. It has never failed me, what so ever. I lived in it at various time's in my younger day's, and once for 2 month's in colorado, in the spring with all the rain and cold, it still would not fail. It literally sat in about 2-3 inches of water for over 7 days and never once leaked. It is a little heavy for hiking with, even though i have. It's best for car camping. If you are thinking of buying this tent, stop thinking and just buy it. It will be one of the best purchases of your life.

Bought a Eureka Timberline 2 tent 32 years ago. Just purchased my second one. My old one finally started to loose some of the waterproof coating from the floor after decades of sometimes hard useage with no ground cloth. Could recoat it if I wanted to with some sealer but prefer a new one. Never got wet inside this tent. There are many good tents on the market nowadays but unless you plan on some serious Winter use in very adverse conditions, it's hard to beat this classic with the available vestibule.
