Kelty Backpacking-Tents Dirt Motel

The Dirt Motel 4 tent is a wonderful tent that has a nice amount of space I fit a queen sized mattress in it but then there was no real space to put any extra stuff in the tent, so a full size worked out better . It is shaped a bit differently because of its star gazing dome, so make sure when you set it up you put the head in the correct direction. The rain fly creates vestibules where you can keep your extra stuff and it does a great job at keeping the water out. It is a bit confusing to put up the first time but after one time the tent goes up super easy. The bottom is very thin so it is important to have the footprint. If weight is not an issue I think using a tarp as a footprint is a better idea because the footprint Kelty has for this tent is super thin and light. The star gazing part of this tent is what made me buy it and I was not disappointed and a door on both sides of the tent is great when you have to get up in the night to pee and don't want to crawl over anyone. In all this is one of the best tents I have ever owned.

This is a great tent! Plenty of room for my husband and I and our (toddler) son along with a little bit of gear or bags. It was pretty easy to set up, will be much easier next time since we’ve done it once now! The rain cover worked AMAZING! I accidentally left it out in a pretty heavy down pour and not a drop of water was inside the tent. I was very impressed!The only issue I had was that the tent stakes came visibly dirty, the tent looked like it had been cleaned out, nothing was broken or not working but the tent had obviously been previously owned and put up at least once. The seller was very responsive to my message about all of this and refunded some of my money which made the price much better for a used tent.Definitely would recommend!

Super simple color coded setup. Shark mouth bag fits everything with zero effort. Bathtub floor, stargazing fly, one piece poles, lightweight, spacious, 2 large vestibule, I love it. This is the first tent I've spent more than $100 on, and the quality is apparent. Much better than the typical tents I've bought from Walmart and the like. Well worth the money.It's not the most lightweight, like some ultralight tents, but it's light enough, and plenty spacious for a Tallman like myself.

This tent was easy to set-up IF you follow the instructions Color match the poles to the tent and the rain fly, looks and function well. Have not tried it in the rain yet, but looks to be adequate. Nice and roomy inside for me and all my motorcycle gear. Bought the 3-man tent and it is roomy.

This replaces the almost exact same Kelty tent that is over 25 years old and finally bit the dust. I love this tent. This model is even lighter than my old one. The one thing I do not like is the wierd cross bar. I had to look it up on Youtube to figure out where it went. I love the dual vestibules.
