3. No windows. With no windows it is not simple to keep the tent cool on a hot summers night.
4. Only one room. The Timberline is suggested for 6 campers, some other tents of a similar size have more than one room allowing for a little more privacy.

6. Footprint not Included. There is no included footprint, there is one available separately specifically for the Timberline 6 footprint Even though the floor may be made of 210 Nylon oxford, it is still better to protect it further with a footprint, especially on rough terrain.
