The first thing to consider is the size of your tent. Do you think 6 people will be using this tent? The 6 person tent was made to hold 6 people comfortably. This usually holds true but depending on the age and size of your campers this could change. You should think about how many people you will have in your tent and add a extra 1-2 people to achieve a decent amount of extra space. For example if you have 4 people you should go for the 6 person tent. By applying this you won’t run across comfort problems. Another plus in having this extra space is you will be able to store your camping essentials without it being in your way.
Privacy should be another choice when choosing your tent. A 6 person tent can have one room or many rooms. If there are children, teenagers, and adults in the same tent you might want to consider leaning towards multiple rooms. It mainly depends on your situation and how much privacy you desire. In most cases you will want the extra privacy but if you want to keep a eye on your kids then you will want the one room tent. Everyone will have different camping situations so its really a personal choice if you want to go with the wall dividers.
The last thing to consider is the tents weather rating. Come up with the places where you will travel and what kind of weather you might expect. You will want to have a tent that can handle wind, rain, and whatever weather conditions could be in effect at the location your visiting. Having decent ventilation in your tent is a goal you will want to achieve for those hot humid days. My 6 person tent is a three season tent and it handles spring to fall very well.
The 6 person tent can come with many options but following these simple tips you should have your tent picked out in no time. In the end having the proper tent for your situation will make a smooth and successful camping trip.
