(More customer reviews)This is a nice tent. The power pack is a great option. I have 3 young daughters, and I can turn on an overhead lamp from a switch next to my sleeping bag. The blue glowing outlets are nice nite lights. This is labeled as a eight person tent, but five is more like it.

Product Description:
Plug in outdoors with the Eureka N!ergy 1210, a family-size tent that sleeps up to eight people while offering the convenience of built-in power. The N!ergy 1210 is tough yet versatile, with a freestanding fiberglass frame, clips, rod sleeves, and a ring-and-pin assembly for quick and easy setup. The tent's 75D StormShield polyester exterior, meanwhile, keeps out rain, wind, and other weather provocations. Perhaps the coolest feature, however, is the tent's E! Power system, which lets you enjoy your favorite small appliances and accessories while you camp. Simply hook up your N!ergy series tent to an optional E! Power Pak, then plug into one of your tent's three 12-volt outlets. N!ergy tents are prewired, so there are no extra steps during assembly. More significantly, you can charge the E! Power Pak from any home outlet or your car's 12-volt power supply prior to use. Once you've installed the Power Pak, you're free to plug in a reading light, fan, or other 12-volt powered accessory.
The tent's openings include two large, side-opening D-style doors that offer private entry into each room, four windows, two mesh roof vents, and two large mesh sidewall panels that provide extra ventilation and light. And thanks to the removable room divider curtain, you can easily convert the tent from two rooms to one or vice versa. Other details include a gear loft and two storage pockets to help you keep essentials close at hand yet conveniently tucked away; a full-coverage fly with brims in the front and rear doors; and three-season suitability. The N!ergy 1210 tent, which offers 120 square feet of space, measures 12 by 10 feet across the floor and 6 feet 4 inches tall, weighs 21 pounds and 2 ounces, and is backed by a lifetime warranty.
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
