I haven't met anyone who's used the Nightscape, though it sounds like fun.  Rick, this would be OK for car camping, but you might want something smaller and lighter if you are going to kayak camp.

For Florida camping,I prefer tents with peaked canopies and doors/windows on all four sides - scratch the Nightscape.   However, if you're going to be in windy situations, the "eaves" are perfect wind-ripping spots.

FLASH!  thru google I got this:

The Nightscape 2XT is now offered in a lightweight version (6lbs+) and has a vestibule.  Sleeps 2.

If you're going to have a tent companion, choose a tent where people can exit without having to climb over each other.

I was looking for a Eureka that is kinda neat..I think it's the Apex XT, but I couldn't find it...discontinued?
