If you like our review order your tent through Amazon! amzn.to/2EiG9Wh
We got this tent (amzn.to/2EiG9Wh) so we could take our show on the road and live in a little bit of comfort. It's so much bigger than the 3 and 4 person tents we currently own, dauntingly so, but we're willing to give it a go.
Read our review here: www.rosieresearch.com/ntk-ari...
First off the quality is spot-on. The seams are all spotless and the zippers are solid. The only qualm I had was with the red fiberglass poles, it looks like they're already scuffed. But whatever.
There's so much more space inside than we're used to but we'll still fill it up.
We hope to use this as a home away from home for our explorations and experiments.
I can't wait for the day when we take it for a real world spin. Rain and all.
UPDATE 6/7/2021: We recently took this out on our first trip of the season and it was AWESOME! We have a few holes in the tarp from ants trying to get a canepe in Puerto Rico, but we just sealed those with bandaids and it seems to be no issue. We're still super happy with it!

Awesome! Thank you so much for making this video! This is the one tent from NTK that has no videos reviewing or demonstrating! Really appreciate it! We just bought this tent yesterday!

Glad we could help, it's been awesome all summer. Super huge, comfy and it was great sitting and sleeping under the stars bug free. How has yours worked out for you?

Nautika tent is very good and it´s for four seasons. In Brazil we use it for 3 seasons, here rains a lot and we need to reforce it in this wether.

Wow, I've been looking for a roomy tent with plenty of headspace as well as a porch. This tent is the front runner by far at this point. Thanks for the review.

Thank you so much for this video. I purchased this one waiting on it to arrive. I went to a site called gosale.com and they found it for 91. I was going to purchase it for 295. I saw on reviews a woman mentioned she used trekking poles to help hold windows up and do them to the sides. Thanks for the awesome video!!!!

Being able to separate from the girls and stargaze is pretty clutch. It's also nice being able to sit in the front area away from the mosquitoes

Great video. I got one of these tents and have used it twice. Love it! One problem I have and can't solve, hoping you can help. The screened porch end sags when I put my tent up. I see that when you put your up, it doesn't and all our poles are very tight and stretched out. I do stake down the base as tight as they will go but my poles don't stretch out like yours. What is your trick?

@esaintc 6 жыл бұрын

Glad you like the video! Unfortunately, I haven't had that problem at all, whenever we pull out the bottom and stake it out the rest sort of pops up like it's supposed to. Have you tried using the orange stake lines to attach to the corners and pull it taut manually. Also, do you have the right poles in the right places? The red ones should crisscross across the main room and then two of the white ones form the porch and the other white one supports the other door. I've put it up a number of times and never noticed any sag, even in high rains and wind... Hope you didn't get a dud. Maybe watch the video of the placement

Thanks so much for making this video! Could you tell me how you ended up arranging the beds? We are considering this tent for our family of four (kids are 3yr old and 1.5yr old). We will be using a full size air mattress, a pack-n-play, and a single sleeping bag.

@RosieResearch 7 жыл бұрын

We put our bed (likely your full-size blow up) in the screen room area. This allowed us to stay up, read, hang out, etc bug-free while the littles slept. We have two, but we set up little tents for each of their beds inside this tent, and there was still a ridiculous amount of space. All four could easily fit into the back portion (to be honest, everyone could fit in there, we just like the ability to have a little bit of space in the evenings)

@curtb2794 7 жыл бұрын

Thanks for vid. Do you know if a queen single layer airbed would fit in that smaller area of the tent that you mention has a 270 degrees view? Manufacturer doesn't really break down dimensions this way. Cheers!

@RosieResearch 7 жыл бұрын

If memory serves me I think we did fit one in that front area during a night of backyard camping - it was pretty tight, but we had the thicker kind of airbeds. That area is definitely the place to sleep so you can look at the stars!

So far we haven't had any long term issues! We used it over 10 camping trips last season and it held up fantastic!

A super video and overview. Very nice. How did you do the video? I noticed you would have the camera set up stationary and then you would move around. How did you do that?

@RosieResearch 4 жыл бұрын

I had a small tripod attached to the bottom of the gopro gimbal so when I set it down it would be stable. Almost like the Falcon 9 legs

Hi, I'm Brazilian, I just bought an Arizona GT too. What do you have to tell me about her after that time? I'm very looking forward to camping with her.

@RosieResearch 4 жыл бұрын

It's been great for the past couple years, although we haven't improved the setup time much. Two people is much faster than one person. We've since had it setup in 50mph monsoon winds on a beach (no protection) and with it tethered down everywhere, nothing flew away and it was actually pretty quiet. It has been solidly waterproof throughout. It is huge though, and we got a smaller backpacking trip for shorter trips and times we'll be backpacking. Still a top 10 purchase!

@danieldillon40 Жыл бұрын

How is the ventilation? I like it but I live in Florida and I’m hesitant to get this one!

@nancym.722 7 жыл бұрын

I am thinking of buying this tent. With rain fly windows open is there anyway to close from inside for privacy, like when changing clothing? ie...if rain fly is off are there interior window flaps for privacy??

@RosieResearch 7 жыл бұрын

Sadly, no. Your option would be to keep the flaps down in one of the rooms and keep the room curtain up!

@jimk8199 6 жыл бұрын

I am wondering about how it stands up to heavy wind and rain and if it keeps you dry??

@RosieResearch 6 жыл бұрын

We've never had a problem getting wet inside the tent, even when the ocean was literally lapping at the bottom! We don't have much experience in high wind, but it stood up well in moderate wind

That is a great idea, we aren't camping for a few months, but I can say last year there were a few very very rainy days and nothing got in, thanks to the bathtub bottom and super sealing shell!
