I live in a family of avid campers. Almost every weekend during the spring, summer & fall months you’ll find us camping either out along side the river or at Talladega Super Speedway! A tent is the #1 important item you’ll take along in your adventure. It’s the item that will keep you dry, cool (or warm), safe & happy. It can be your best friend or worst nightmare, depending on the tent you get. (I’ve personally had both.)

The Eureka Titan screams quality the moment you see it. It is by far the sharpest tent that I’ve ever laid my eyes on. With a price tag of about $450 it isn’t the cheapest tent around. It is def. worth saving for and will last you for years to come so in the end it IS worth the price tag.

The Eureka Titan is a luxury tent and is made for large families and extended stays. It sleeps eight people with sleeping bags. My family camps in luxury so, bringing our blow up beds is always a must. It will sleep six comfortably with single blow up beds.

My number one most favorite thing about this tent is the ease of putting it up. It can easily be set up with just two people. It is rectangular in shape and this helps things a bunch. The Heavy duty shockcorded self-supporting 6061 aluminum frame is a breeze to set up. 75D StormShield® polyester fly is hooded on all four sides for all-weather ventilation; what a great feature!

No worries about leaking!!!! Almost all seams are sealed – the ones that are not sealed need to be sealed with Kenyon Seam Sealer 3. It has six extra large windows well above ground level allow cross ventilation and protect against splashing rain.

The 210D Nylon Oxford bathtub floor is VERY durable and tear resistant. Even so, I always like to put floor savers under the tent and always remember to make sure rocks and sticks are not under the tent. This will prolong the life of your floor and make for a better night sleep (you don’t want a rock in your back do you? )

Another great feature of the tent is the optional gear loft! The removable room divider and side wall pull outs maximize interior space. So, if mom and dad need a bit of privacy from the kids.. this is when the room divider comes in handy.

I absolutely love this tent (more than words could ever describe) and wouldn’t trade it for any other tent for long stays. My father had a Eureka that lasted him for over 18-years. You seriously can’t beat the Eureka quality!

TENT CARE:

Cleaning

• Clean the tent by setting it up and wiping it down with a mild soap (liquid hand soap) and lukewarm water solution. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely. Never use detergent, washing machines or dryers because they can damage the tent's protective coating and seams. After cleaning, be sure the tent is completely dry, especially the heavier, double-stitched areas such as the seams, before storing or mold and mildew are likely to grow.
  
• Clean the tent poles with a soft, dry cloth. This is especially necessary after oceanside camping trips to remove salt spray so the poles don't corrode or stay gritty.
  
• Clean the zippers with a quick dip in water and then dry them off. This is especially important if you've been camping in a location with sand/dirt. If you don't clean the zippers, the sliders will wear out and eventually the teeth will become inoperable.
  

Seam Sealing

• We recommend use of a sealer such as Kenyon Seam Sealer 3 or McNett Outdoor SeamGrip. Be sure to check directions on the side of container for specifics before beginning the seam sealing process.
  
• Seam sealing should be done in a fully ventilated area. Set the tent up or lay the tent out flat. Taut seams allow for even application and penetration of the sealer.
  
• Decide which seams need to be sealed. For example, seams that will be exposed to rain, runoff, or ground level water are a must for sealing, while seams on uncoated nylon or mesh panels won't need treatment. You won't need to seal the seams in the roof or the factory taped seams either. We recommend sealing both floor & fly seams and reinforcements.
  
• Apply sealant to the inside and outside of all exposed seams. Draw or brush the sealant along the seam, spreading it evenly and liberally into all of the needle holes. Several thin layers will work better than one thick layer. Allow 30 minutes to 1 hour for the sealant to completely dry before storing the tent. Twelve hours for SeamGrip®.
  

Ultraviolet

• Ultraviolet damage to tent fabric is caused by excessive exposure to sunlight. While our fabrics are UV resistant, any synthetic fabric is susceptible to ultraviolet degradation. UV damage will cause nylon and polyester to become brittle and tear easily. Once your tent has UV damage, it is non-repairable, but damage can be minimized by erecting tents on sites where exposure to direct sunlight can be avoided. We also recommend that you use the rain fly even on clear days. It acts as a sunscreen to the tent. A rain fly is both easier and less expensive to replace if damaged.
  

Color Transfer

• Due to the nature of tent fabrics, color can transfer from darker fabric to lighter fabric if two colors are in contact over time when wet, damp, or exposed to the combination of moisture and high heat. This does not effect a tent’s performance. To prevent/minimize color transfer from occurring, always make sure that your tent is completely dry prior to packing and storage.
  

Storage

• Make sure the tent is completely dry, then store loosely rolled, in a dry, cool place. To prevent dust from collecting on the tent, cover it with a cloth. This allows the nylon/polyester fabric to breathe.
  
• Ideally, the tent poles should be stored in their fully assembled state. This reduces the tension on the shock cord, prolonging its life.· We recommend that the tent bag be used only as a carry sack and not for storage.
  

GENERAL TIPS:

• Use a ground cloth under the tent whenever possible. If you choose, Eureka! has pre-cut sizes. If not, trace the tent on the ground cloth and cut smaller than the tent footprint to avoid having it act as a water collector. Ground cloths are easier and less expensive to replace than torn tent floors.
  
• Try not to wear shoes inside your tent.
  
• Bring a small rug or mat to put inside the tent door to wipe off mud and catch sand.
  
• Sweep the tent floor daily to prevent damage from stones.
  
• Do not keep food inside the tent. Hungry critters will chew through the tent fabric in search of a snack.
