When weighing the Eureka! Timberline vs Coleman Sundome tents, the answer may depend on if you prefer an A-Frame or Dome-style tent design! In our evaluation, the better rain fly coverage, ability to enter and exit either end and classic A-frame pulled the Timberline just above the Sundome!
Eureka! Timberline Detailed Review
The Eureka! Timberline is a three-season tent with two doors and a high coverage rainfly/vestibule combo. The Timberline comes in two or four-person capacities, each with aluminum poles making up the classic A-frame design.
The interior of the tent is 60.8 square feet for the four-person, making it slightly smaller than the Sundome. The vestibule helps make up for this smaller space by adding another 15.3 square ft in the front to keep wet boots, cooking gear, and your pack if there isn’t enough room inside.
The peak height is about 59 inches. When you pack it down it comes to 7 x 26 inches. The tent weighs 9 pounds and 12 ounces along with the body, poles, stakes, fly, and guylines.
Moon Lence Detailed Review
Eureka! Timberline vs Moon Lence Tent Value Pick
The Moon Lence Camping Tent is a good tent for beginners trying to save a few bucks in finding their first tent. The tent can hold up in good wind when set up properly, and will also provide protection from most storms with a standard tarp (that is not included with the tent).
There are a few reviews claiming they woke up in a puddle during storms while using the Moon Lence Camping Tent so I would recommend using some water sealant to reinforce the seams and rain fly before your first trip just to be safe. By and large, you’ll be hard-pressed to find a tent of this quality, at this low of a price. For that – I wouldn’t expect it to be your forever tent, but it can definitely get you through your first year!
Conclusion
Comparing the Eureka! Timberline vs Moon Lence tent can be tough but the Eureka! shines above the Moon Lence given its great build, good quality, and enough room for two to four spending a solid weekend under the stars!
