Eureka Headquarters Luxury Family 12-Foot by 8.5-Foot Six-Person Two-Room Tent Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We have owned this tent for about 7 years, and have camped in it for about 60 nights. We sleep 4, with luggage. It has been remarkably weather-worthy, having been through many rainy days. The first night we slept in it as family there was a monster thunderstorm, yet were dry. Just last week we slept in the tent while about 2-1/2 inches of rain fell overnight. After setting it up once it is quite easy. Two people can put it up in less than 10 minutes. The ventilation is very good, virtually turning into a screen house when windows and doors are unzipped.

About Eureka
Though the exact year is unknown, Eureka's long history begins prior to 1895 in Binghamton, New York, where the company still resides today. Then known as the Eureka Tent & Awning Company, its first wares were canvas products--most notably, Conestoga wagon covers and horse blankets for nineteenth century American frontiersmen--as well as American flags, store awnings, and camping tents.
The company increased production of its custom canvas products locally throughout the 1930s and during the 1940 and even fabricated and erected the IBM "tent cities" just outside Binghamton. The seven acres of tents housed thousands of IBM salesmen during the company's annual stockholders meeting, which had since outgrown its previous locale. In the 1940s, with the advent of World War II and the increased demand for hospital ward tents, Eureka expanded operations and began shipping tents worldwide. Ultimately, upon the post-war return of the GIs and the resultant housing shortage, Eureka turned its attention to the home front during the 1950s by supplying awnings for the multitude of mobile homes that were purchased.
In 1960, Eureka's new and innovative Draw-Tite tent, with its practical, free standing external frame, was used in a Himalayan Expedition to Nepal by world renowned Sir Edmund Hillary, the first person documented to summit Mt. Everest only six years earlier. In 1963, Eureka made history during its own Mt. Everest ascent, with more than 60 of its tents sheltering participants from fierce 60+ mph winds and temperatures reaching below -20
