I've been looking at a hamock with an insect screen and rain fly. Fast to put up and no need for flat ground. Less weight too. I havn't got one yet but i hope to this summer.
 
I've got a four man REI that has lasted me for years. The tent is rugged and can easily fit a queen mattress for taking women on camping trips.

I highly recommend it.
 
My favorite tent is my RV now. lol
 
I have a huge tent that my husband and I bought from Walmart that could sleep up 10 people. We bought it about 8 years ago and it is still in good condition. We keep it in the RV so if we have friends who join us camping, their kids can sleep in the tent. I forgot the brand name of it. I couldn't believe it lasted that long. We camped in it in storms and in extreme heat.

Really!? Hmm. Will need to look into it for reversal engineering! Thank you!
 
When we kids we set up a tent in our back yard to sleep in at night . That never happen ,the tent cover with earwigs , I mean they where all over the tent. YUCKY!
 
Depending on where and with who, we have:

9 X 19 Ozark Trail - the center is a 5 sided dome.
10 X 12 North Face - basic rectangle, easy to stand up
4 X 6 Ozark Trail - says it can sleep up to 6. Just right for 1 (me) when I travel alone.
30" X 30" X 6' Coleman for solar-shower or portable toilet.
12 X 12 screen room (do not remember the name) to put over the small tent or a picnic table to keep bugs out.
Many different size tarps to put under tent and/or over (hung between trees for sun block or rain).

That's it! It is an Ozark Trail tent that lasted us for about 10 years now.

To analyze the tent for its good features and design, and steal those ideas for making another product.

It's what enemy countries do when they get hold of American weapons or aircraft.

That was what I thought but I am not sure how it is related to my post about my friends' kids sleeping in my tent outside of my RV.

Not really to steal but to IMPROVE them, in another word, to make better product. Or to help a business come up with better product. Also for patent stealing. For example, a company copied idea from another company and the company that copied will get caught when the original company or patent holder reverse engineered the thief's product and finds it is the same product they stole. Then a lawsuit. That is how you can hear about it. Google about Polaroid v. Kodak lawsuit. Also White Castle v. White Tower lawsuit. Both of them were in similar cases: stolen ideas.

Shel, someone explained faster than I did. Yes, that is what reversal or Reverse Engineering is all about. It happens all the time. Companies buy products from their competitors or even go to trade shows and photographs all the products their competitors do. I saw them with measure tapes, notebooks, and discuss with their own engineering partners from their competitors. Happens all the time. They will do that when Sea Gull RV Party Trailers are on the market. They will come like flies and in future, come out with similarities. For example, now many manufacturers are having their A-frame roof or hard-side roofs popup trailers are being manufactured after "stealing" design from A-Liner brand. I noticed that at the Louisville show.
