That kills it. The wife and I, with two very small girls, might have it set up in a hour or two. Aren't children fun?

This is definitely a requisite. The more headroom the better. I spend most of my life bent over - picking up children, going to work, etc. - I'd rather be comfortable when I'm camping. Thanks, Bill.
