Review by tim can for Eureka Family 20-Foot by 10-Foot 8 to 12 Person Three-Room Condo Tent
Rating:
I must preface my review by saying we absolute love Eureka Tents. The ease of use the water tightness and the durability have been the selling points for us. We have had Timberline 2 and 4 tents and several years use from our Space III, We currently use timberline tents backpacking and a Titan for family camping however, when we upgraded to the Condo we found that all the things we loved about Eureka tents were a burden here.
First the good:
The tent is massive and dwarfs absolutely everything else about it. At some 20 feet long and 9 feet tall it encompasses a massive space accomedating large families or even groups with ease.
The central hub system is the same type used on and loved on so many of Eureka’s top of the line tents.
The interior changing room that lets you have privacy while no having to zip up all the windows is a great idea!
The tent is light inside, very well ventilated, and strong.
Downsides:
The central hub system so easy with four poles is not easy with six.
I am 6′ 7″ tall and found the tent burdensome to set up and too tall, even for me, to comfortably do things like place the fly over the top – even with a running start!
The clear inserts in the zipped in storm flap separate from the nylon simply because the enormous sail area of the tent, creates stresses too much for a stiched joint of two different materials with different expansion/stretch rates and the plastic gives way.
The fly design over the doors is poor. Unlike nearly ever other Eurka tent – there is no overhang. Water drips off the storm fly over the zipper which leaks. Worse if you have to exit in the rain you litterally have to open an outwardly sloping door and the rain coming down and pouring off the fly, runs guess where – right into the tent! No way to avoid it – just poorly designed.
The steel poles also suffer from the huge stresses of such a structure and assume slight, but permanent bends in the direction of the stress. This would not be a issue but it makes them non-interchangeable with the other identical poles. So you might was well mark the poles the first time you pitch this tent as right front pole, left middle pole, etc. becasue that is where you will have to use them and it will save a lot of frustration later.
Storage! This tent takes up a lot of storage space – about the equal of a army duffel bag even larger. It is sort of like hauling a body in a duffel bag and is equally awkward. The fact that this duffel come with two handles one at each end tells you even the designers realized that it would take two people to handle it.
Conclusions:
We used it one season and sold it not because it was a bad tent but far too much of a burden. I buy Eureka tents because I find them good servants – this one made a terrible master.
By the way, this is far too much tent for any family having less than 4 adult and or teenaged family members. You simply cannot pitch it with less people and smaller children are not able to help as the poles are massive – about 16 feet long with a 70 degree bend at the six foot mark.
In short this tent is too much a good thing – combined with a terrible and I mean terrible, rainfly design The shame of it is I wanted very badly to like this tent and could not.

The product quality of this item is unbeatable. It is sturdy and offers tremendous room. The actual useful room is significant because the walls go almost straight up so you can stand near the edge of the tent so the amount of internal space is great. The only problem was setup. You have to follow the directions carefully, even then, the setup is not too easy. I feel like there is lots of pressure on the poles as you lift the tent in a circular, add one leg at a time manner. The height is also challenging but that’s what you are after so I don’t complain about that. This is a 5 star tent even with the difficulty of the setup except for what I consider excessive pressure on the poles during setup.
