    Ok, I'm coming late to the conversation but what is wrong with
    EZ-ups? (if I have the brand name right, there are knock-off
    look-alikes which are flimsy to the point of being useless, I'm
    talking about the ones with the locking concertina frames last heard
    going for $250 Canadian from Costco) They have the sturdiest frame
    of any 10x10 I've ever been in, a case with wheels, I can lift it by
    myself (long enough to get it into a vehicle happily). It doesn't
    come with good guy-lines or stakes but that isn't expensive to fix,
    and it's easy to hook lines to the frame (where they will do the
    most good) which is better then a lot I've seen. They should be
    resealed at the begining of every season but so should all tents;
    there is a trick to folding everything to get it back into the case
    neatly, but again, never met a tent that didn't have that issue. They
    can be put up by one person in under 20 minutes (discounting staking
    time) and I've sat out the tail end of a hurricane in one happily;
    considering it is a 'sunshade' and I've been tripping in all weather
    tents that didn't stand up to a hard sneeze I can't see what the
    complaints are, they seem to me to be an absolute bargin. 

    On the other hand I have not seen these 'Light-dome' tents which
    everyone raves about, makes me wonder if they make coffee and do
    your taxes. I ~think~ I've seen a Trimline, but it was a double sized
    affiar so I dismissed it immediatly as not useful to me, also elderly
    and cranky so also dismissed as not being a good example. 

Cheers,
