(More customer reviews)I bought this tent to take my two daughters camping with the Indian Princesses. When I got it, I set it up in my warehouse to make sure I knew what I was doing. Setup was relatively easy in the controlled environment of my climate controlled warehouse.
When I went camping, I had to set it up in real-world conditions, it wasn't as pain free as the first time. The wind was blowing about 8 miles per hour and it was cold. First of all, Paha Que recommends that you have two people set this up. However, with the wind blowing, I'd recommend having 4 people (one on each corner) when lifting the corner supports. The first time I tried it with two people, we broke one of the aluminium poles that hold up the roof. I had to undo the pole and fashion a PVC splint to temporarily fix the pole so I could use it. After splinting the broken pole, I called two other friends over and we each grabbed a corner and raised the roof with no effort, whatsoever.
Once assembled, I could appreciate the nice features of this tent. It is very roomy for our three campers and it had lots of hangers to hang various things. This is a good looking, well constructed and engineered tent. It's obvious that the people at Paha Que know a thing or two about tent camping. The floor is of good quality and all the seams appear to be sturdy.
I love aluminum poles, but in my opinion, it appears that Paha Que has been using an inferior quality pole lately. I spoke to the folks at [...] and they told me that they received many complaints about the Paha Que poles. They asked me if I had the original pole and told me they could do wonders to repair it and reinforce it for the next time. Unfortunately, I had already thrown away the pole at the campsite because I didn't realize it could be repaired.
So I called the folks at Paha Que and they apologized for the problems I had and sent me a new pole to replace it. They admitted that they were less than satisfied with the performance of the poles they were using recently and suggested that they will be improving them on the next batch. You may wish to talk to them first before buying this tent.
If it weren't for the soft poles, I would say this tent is nearly perfect. The folks at Paha Que were really great and if they can fix the pole issue, this tent is awesome.

Maximize your living space while camping with the entire family with the Paha Que Promontory two-room, eight-person tent. The Promontory offers a generous peak height of 7 feet and a roomy 12-by-10-feet footprint. That's 120 total square feet of living space in its open configuration, or you can divide it into two spacious rooms that each measure 10 by 6 feet (the tent includes a removable room divider with a built-in zipper). The tent also offers exterior doors on both sides and a large side door, so you don't have to step over all the other campers if you need to take a midnight restroom break. And should the weather turn nasty, the Promontory buttons up tight with an easy-to-install rainfly that provides guaranteed waterproof performance in heavy rain and driving wind gusts up to 50 miles per hour. The tent's moisture-resistant features include heavy-duty polyurethane waterproofing on the rainfly, sidewalls, and window fabric; factory tape-sealed seams; and a bathtub-style floor that keeps ground water out of the tent.
Additional features include two large windows that offer excellent campsite visibility and ventilation; two removable mesh gear lofts; two removable gear hammocks suspended under each window; reflective and adjustable guylines; and a full set of ground stakes. The Promontory, which packs up tightly for easy transport, weighs 24 pounds in the carrying bag.

About Paha Que It all started with three guys and a tent. The three camping buddies who founded Paha Que began talking over evening campfires about how to build a better tent--one that wouldn't leak, but was roomy; one that offered headroom to folks who stand 6 feet or taller; and one that provided camping enthusiasts with the luxuries of home. So they discussed their idea to their friend Spike, Pamo Valley ranch foreman for the last 50 years. His reply? "Stop talkin' bout it, and get to it, dammit!" The fruits of their labor evolved into a company known today as Paha Que Wilderness and the trio's signature tent, the Pamo Valley. Paha Que is headquartered in Poway, California.
