Eddie tents at Target

“Has any one had any experiences with the Ediie Bauer tents at Target? I'm new to camping/this list and I bought the 3-room tent and used it for the very first time this past weekend. I really like the tent, but the skylight and zippers leaked big time. Would this be normal for a steady rain shower?(3-4 hours) I spent $200 and didn't think it should leak. We had nothing touching the sides of the tent. I don't think it was a practical idea to put skylights on the rain flap, it's cool, but doesn't seem to work. Do you think sealing it will help?”

“One of the guys in our troop had the same problem with his kelty 3 room tent with skylights. We had a steady downpour all night and he had leaks.

Got to be the skylights”

“Two words, Seam Grip.”

“Mountain Hardwear pulls off leak-proof skylights, but they're twice as expensive. Sealing it ought to work, and you may want to give it the back yard sprinkler test before you take it out again.”
