Great review. I have a Family Camper 10x14 and absoutley love it. A few unfortunate things are there was no access hole made for the cordage for propane or electric. I have to run it through the front door zipper..it works. I also got the storm fly which could have been better designed IMO to incoporate the awning, however, I'm sure with some modification I could get it to work. It is just something that should have been thought out better from Spring Bar. I also love the rope for strength, however, don't like to seems to harbor moisture, and takes awhile to dry out. I also felt there should have been the triangle window included in such a larger sized tent..there's not! I got the storm fly mainly to keep tree sap and bird droppings etc off the tent. It works great for that! The tent stands up well in the rain, and is very well put together. Not sure how the China models campare, however, they are crafty there too. I would highly recommend this tent for sure. I hope Spring Bar sees this and gets with it a little more on the smaller things I noted, that makes sense and are simplistic to include! Especially on a ten that will last so long! Again good job on the vidyo, and I hope my little review helps too! Peace.
I just ordered me the classic jack 100. I asked customer service what the difference between this one and the CJ100 and they said the only difference was under the triangle windows the classic jack 100 has two little net pockets to put stuff in. So from what they told me they’re basically the same tent. I also thought about buying the 2 add on awnings attachments for extra shade but just not sure I will get them. I figured a couple tarps would do the same thing but they’re not zipped together like yours are. I also wondered how well them zippers would hold up in windy weather.
Had my Highline 6 /Springbar out for my first campout. Set up and take down with just myself was a breeze. I did buy the stormfly, but a storm was coming in as I was setting up and did not have time to set up the fly before the storm hit. So the rest of the campout I lived without it, thinking the rest of campout would be dry. Boy, was I wrong, big storm came through a couple days later. Still no fly up, depended on the tent itself to keep us dry. After the storm, took my flashlight on a close inspection of the seams of the interior of the tent. Not a drop of rain, guys!!!! Outside condensation coming through the tent from the storm was minimal, just a little damp, no drips. In a storm of that magnitude my Coleman would have a stream of rain coming in the bottom floor seams. even with the fly on. The key here is to don't forget to spray your tent seams twice and let dry thoroughly, both inside (with a squirt bottle) and out (with a hose), before you do your first campout. The stakes are nice and heavy duty,
Yes, and the price difference is more than "$100". Its more like $450. But Springbar tents are great regardless if its the import or the US made tents.

Wow thanks for the feedback. Good to know! What did you treat the seams with?
The Classic Jack 100 is also sewn in China. The main difference is the color. The Traveler is the USA made 10'X10' tent.
Yes, and the price difference is more than "$100". Its more like $450. But Springbar tents are great regardless if its the import or the US made tents.
The down side is too heavy weight around 34kg ? But if the car can reach the camp site thats eill be no problem 😅
Those side awnings you said were zippered in did you add the zippers to the original tent awning?
No the tent came with the zippers sewn in.
Does it have a small zippered slot for an extension cord?
Yes it does have one that you could use for an extension cord. Or in my case I use it for the hose that goes from the propane tank to my buddy heater.
Cool thanks
Thank you soooo freaking much❤❤❤
Love it!
