Got the is tent back in 2020 - it has been fantastic! Multiple trips (about monthly), including cross country and it has been amazing. Definitely a 2+ person initial set up, but once I got it in my truck, I can easily set it up and break it down in under 10 minutes (nothing like time trials in freezing torrential downpour). Would definitely recommend for a starter. Of note, I have additional gear so I can utilize it in all four seasons - totally easy to do
