Here is a little preview of our newly redesigned 4 room cabin tent our customers affectionately call "the condo". The picture on the left shows it with the rain fly on and the one on the right shows how the tent is suspended under the frame. The frame is sandwiched in between the tent (below the scissor type frame) and the rain fly (above the scissor type frame). Of course the colors are just with test material and the final colors will be a royal blue and grey but you get the idea. It is now available to purchase via Four Room Cabin Tent - detailed spec., and let us know what you think.
Update: Some new photos of our four room cabin tent with the ultimate furnishings from one of our customers. Thanks Doug.

My family loves to go camping. We try to do it several times a year. We are a family of four and need alot of room inside a tent. We currently have a Hillary 4 room tent and it serves us great. This last time going camping during Labor Day weekend, the tent zipper on the main door broke so we figure it is time for a new tent. I am very interested in the new 4-room tent that you are going to sell. Can you tell me when it will be available for purchase and if you have a price range on this tent as of yet? Thanks.
Lorie,
We will have our four room cabin tent in our warehouse about the first week in October 2007. The target price is $499.00. Regarding your current tent, any upholstery shop can sew on a new zipper for a very reasonable cost. Of course we would like you to try our tents, but it is always an option to repair an otherwise good tent.
Dang! This is the most impressive tent I have ever seen. We've been looking at large family tents for a while now and I have to say this one beats the competition hands down! Do you have any spec's on it (ie weight and packaged dimensions)? We currently have a tent trailer that we pull with our motorcycle but want more room. We have just about all the creature comforts with us; camp kitchen, table and chairs, collapsible cupboards, raised air bed and yes even a toilet. Now you can see why we want a big tent! Gonna watch for your release of this, it's sure to be a hit. Regards.
This four room cabin tent has been a standard product for us for years. We have just taken feedback from our customers and made some improvements. The basic size and structure will remain the same as shown in the previous model specifications at: http://www.camptents.com/4roomspecs.htm
The improvements are more durable polyester material, triple the waterproofing to 3000mm, extra taping on the seams, and adjustable awning poles to mention a few. It is truly a unique design and we think you will enjoy the upgrades that our customers suggested.
As you can guess by my blog ID, I've spent some time in the military. Quite a bit of that time was spent in the field (hated it). While I love to car camp with my family, I REALLY enjoy the comforts of home. We currently own a 10 x 20 by a different company. It's pretty roomy. But we still can't put up the room dividers after putting in 2 cots and an XL queen air bed. After seeing the dimensions and the quality of the "Condo", I am quite anxious to get my hands on this one. Is it on the market yet?
Are your products sold in stores?
We have completed the manufacturing on our "condo" four room cabin tents and are updating the specification sheet now. This redesigned cabin tent will be available for shipment shortly. Our core business is tent manufacturing in quantities for commercial customers and we have a small line of tents that we offer to our consumer customers. We do not offer our tents for sale in stores at this time so unfortunately there is nowhere to view them except at campsites across the country where you will see countless examples.
Our four room cabin tent is now available for shipment. We welcome any comments on our new and improved design. Please see the following link : http://Four Room Cabin Tent
Are family a family of five and we have a 14 X 14 tent but after awhile the floor started leaking water up through it. I am very interested in this Condo for its size and assembly and would like to see some pics of the inside of this tent including the floor. Also is it possible to have you all put a short video of this tent being assemblied on your web site?
We have taken pictures of the inside of the tent but unfortunately they are not very helpful as about all you can see is the walls. The video is a good idea and we will add that to the list of future enhancements. In the mean time, if any of our customers out there have a video of setting this up at camp we would love to see it and if you are willing to share it please feel free to post it here.
Hi Kevin, we finally managed to try out our new camping setup this weekend. Our tent was the talk of the campround! Your tent is very well made and impressive in its design. I have to admit though it was a challenge setting it up for the first time in 50k wind gusts, but we did it. The first night continued to be very windy but had no effect on the tent. The windows make it very comfortable in the warm weather and closed up was warm inside during the 45F nights. This tent fits the bill and all our stuff prefectly. IMO you have the best/largest tent on the market!
Thanks again,
Doug Smith
Ok Pinnacle,
We bought this tent from you, at a cost of close to $500.00. It's a lot for a tent, so you expect a certain amount of quality when you spend that much. Overall, I will say that we love this tent. When "car camping", I like to go all out and go for comfort/roominess/funtionality and this tent does have that. I recently took this tent on an annual "guy's weekend" kayaking trip to Arkansas. I set this monster up and overall, its a fairly easy process with a couple of minor quirks, but nothing worth mentioning in that regard. The first QC issue I found was that the pop-up frame was missing TWO nuts on one elbow section of the frame, so in a pinch, I borrowed one from the opposite section and left it with one each, instead of the two it should have had. In setting the tent up, two of the string ties on the corners of the tent popped off, seems they were only held on by a couple of threads each, not a huge deal, but got me worrying. Once the tent was all the way up, I went inside and immediately found a 1/4 hole in the floor where the "heat seam" bonds the floor sections together. Next, I found one of the pocket bags near the side windows was sewn on upside down AND backwards. The last issue is pretty minor, both of the end windows had about 3" of elastic hanging down below the stitched edge. The tent is great, dont get me wrong, but when you pay that much, you expect it to be pristine when you put it up for the first time. The tent design and size gets an A, but your QC team gets a D-.
Thanks,
Dave in North Texas
I have been looking all over for a large tent for our family of four. Having a preteen son and teen daughter we need three "bedrooms" in our tent. This tent looks perfect size but there is one reccomendation I would like to make that would make it a home run for me (and maybe others). The area of the rain canopy out front, make that a screened in dining area/mudroom. It might need to be a tad wider so you can have a fold out tabnle with four chairs and enough room to put shoes/walk through to the bedroom areas, but that in my opinion would make it a true "condo" and be a wonderful add on for families like us who love to cook outside with the bugs but not eat outside with them.
Hi there! I'm VERY interested in this tent but I plan to use in under pretty extreme conditions. I want to use it at the Burning Man festival this year and need to know two things. One, how well will the tent stand up to periodic heavy (70+ mph) wind gusts? Two, do all the windows and doors zip shut from the inside to keep out dust/rain during a storm? Thanks!
Many of our customers use our Pinnacle Canvas Tents for Burning Man with much success. We would recommend the Pinnacle #646 Canvas Tent or the Pinnacle #647 Canvas Tent with the optional 647CF Canvas Rain Fly. Our Pinnacle four room cabin tent #770 our customers affectionately call “The Condo” works well at Burning Man also. Just remember to guy these out securely and many of our customers use rebar for stakes.
We had a few issues with our four room cabin tent, most were fairly minor. After posting them here, the customer service group (Kevin) contacted me and went WAY above and beyond what I expected to get things corrected. Customer service here is TOP notch and I will continue to recommend these tents to others with glowing remarks about their service.
Thanks!
Dave
It looks like a great tent. There is one more thing that I would love to see to make it unbelievable. I would like if it had a larger canopy that can be screened in. This would make it by far the best tent anywhere. I did see somewhere a canopy like I described.
We are so excited. We recieved our tent this week and had nice enough weather to put it up. It took us about 2 hours the first time to unroll everything..read it and construct. I am positive we can put it up in about 40 mins next time.. VERY easy!
It is enormous on the inside and with two adults, 15/13/11/9 kids(4) we all laid around inside and it still felt spacious!!!
We cant wait to use it this summer. We will update you later with pictures and comments.
This may be a silly question, but the only Bad questions are the ones you don't ask...
I am a 6ft tall, 47 yr old divorced woman that loves the great outdoors.
How hard of a time would I have trying to set this Divine Looking 4 room cabin tent up? If it's ez enough, I may NEVER come home!!!!
thanks,
awaiting an answer in alabama, kathy
It can be set up by one person. The most difficult part for one person is to expand the scissor's type frame.
I am looking at getting this tent, but my concerns are
1) How heavy is it to do steps 5 and 6 in the setup instructions?
2) Does it come with a "storage case/bag" and because tent makers never give you folding instructions. Will I be able to get it back in the bag? (hint put some marks where the folds should be)
3) The mud room idea would really help keep the inside clean.
4) Is there a electrical cord "port" Good for blowing up beds at dusk when the bugs are out in full force.
5) Is there any thing to hang a lantern from? (above the beds for some night time reading)
Thanks for you time.
Thanks for your questions and concerns.
1. Raising the tent frame in steps 5 and 6 does not take that much effort because you simply extend the telescoping legs of the main frame and you can do this one leg at a time until all four are extended.
2. Our four room cabin tent comes with 3 storage bags, one for the central frame, one for the eave and awning poles, and one for the tent and rain fly. You will be able to get it back in the bag because we always oversize the design of our storage bags so that the tent will fit easily inside. In our opinion, it is always better to fold your tent at different places each time and then roll the material because continuous folding and storage at the same location can permanently crease and possibly weaken the material over time.
3. We will consider how to incorporate the “mud room” suggestion in our future design.
4. There is no dedicated electrical cord port; however, you can easily run a cord in at the corner of one of the doors where the zippers meet.
5. There is a loop at the peak of the center of the tent and one at each corner.
If you have any more questions please let us know.
I was wondering if The Condo tents are available and if so how much-I live outside of Atlanta,Georgia and can't wait to camp in a great tent like this!!
Our Pinnacle Tents models 770 Four Room Cabin Tent (The Condo) is available and shipping now. Please see the specifications at Pinnacle Tents Four Room Cabin Tent #770
Since the last time I posted, I have shopped all over and still have not found a tent that competes with this one. All of the reviews have been great. I just have one question/clarification that I need. The picture on the website showing the tent with the rainfly on shows that the rainfly does not extend out over the end windows. Our old tent's rainfly did so and many other tents on the market do too. One of the other pictures which has a description of rainfly guy rope attach points shows that the rainfly does in fact extend out over the window. Can you clarify this for me. We are really excited about getting back into camping and can't wait. Thanks.
Hi Lorie,
You are very observant! Yes, the rain fly does extend out over the end windows. This is one of the features we added as a new improvement. We haven't got a chance to update all the pictures on the website, but will do that shortly. Thanks for pointing that out.
Wow, thanks for the prompt reply Grace. I can't wait until we get the tent and go camping for the first time with it! Will definitely let you know how it goes.
Thanks for your response Kevin
you mentioned the tent goes into 3 oversized bags(Bonus points for that)
I was wondering how long the bags will be? I have know if I can get it in my small trailer. I see one of the pictures has a motorcycle trailer beside the tent. If it fits in that trailer it will fit in mine which is slightly larger.
Larry, the frame and the bag that holds it is 52” long and this cannot be reduced. The tent can fold up smaller so if the frame length will fit it should work for you.
