The Sunrise Ex 4 has four windows and one door and a peak center height of 5' 0, which is a little bit smaller than the average height of the 140 different 4 person tents we have examined With 64 square feet of room inside, it is a tiny bit smaller than some other 4-person tents, and it could be a little tight for you and, up to three other campers during the whole of the 3-seasons, this tent is recommended for use in, smaller tents like this one often can make a great choice for people that appreciate spending lots of time outside exploring the great outdoors.

Some of the cool things about dome tents are, that they are under normal circumstances light, making them easy to carry. In most all cases, tents used for backpacking are of the dome type. They are usually, freestanding and very simple to set up. In good weather, you could do without guy lines and stakes, not that this is recommended.

Dome tents are easily the most common of all the various types of tents you will see when camping. They tend to fair better in bad weather than other types, allowing rain to easily slide off the sloped walls, unlike cabin tents that have flat roofs, resulting in the water pooling on the roof. The simplest dome tent will have a rectangular floor, sloped walls two or more poles which converge in the middle of the roof. Because of the way they are made, it is usually considered that they are best for up to a maximum of 6 campers.

PROS

1. Freestanding. The Sunrise Ex can support its own weight on any terrain. It does not even have to be staked down in most cases. But in case of strong winds, it is always best to secure it to the floor with the included steel stakes and guylines.
2. Internal storage. It is nice to see Eureka has added a gear loft and pockets in the interior to store some of your gear.
3. More than one window. With 4 windows it is simple to keep the tent cooler on a hot summers night.
4. Available in other sizes. Eureka has also made this model available in Other Sizes.
5. Low price. It is a great purchase for a 4 person dome tent that provides this much room. Not a lot of tents available on the market give this level of quality for only $179.95

CONS

1. Not roomy. With a floor area of 64 square feet, the Sunrise Ex 4 is smaller than quite a few of the 140 other 4 person tents we have looked at.
2. No Vestibules. If you want to keep your dirty shoes, clothes, and backpacks protected from the elements, you must store them inside the tent.
3. Rainfly does not completely cover the tent body. The rainfly only covers the ceiling and part of the tent body from the top. Meaning it might not protect against heavy downpours.
4. Footprint not Included. There is no included footprint, The floor may be made of 63D 190T Polyester taffeta but it is still best to protect it further with a footprint, more so on rough terrain.
5. Out of Stock. Unfortunately this particular tent is not currently in stock. It is still on the manufactures website the last time we looked.
6. A little heavy for backpacking. Even though the Sunrise Ex 4, looks like a small tent, it is not ideal for backpacking as it weighs 11 pounds. This is quite a lot more than many other backpacking tents
7. Sloping walls. Even though Dome tents have many things to be positive about. The sloping walls do tend to make it all the more smaller inside.
8. Storage Space. Due to the size of the tent, one cannot store a lot of stuff inside..
