My wife and I just returned from our second trip with the Atacama. First trip was a one night stay so other than ease of set-up, tear down, there wasn’t much to report. This trip we spent 4 nights in it and we’re sold. We had rain on and off, including one 2 hour storm with heavy rainfall and some wind. We set up our chairs and table in the garage area, where all our riding gear was already stored, and had PLENTY of room. And we stayed bone dry. We tour and camp 2up on a single bike so weight is a constant concern. At 14lbs there’s really nothing else out there that I have found that affords us so much space and peace of mind in all weather. If I would ask for anything it would be more off ground storage and hooks to suspend lights and what not. A minimal concern though, as we are very happy with this tent. Also, at 50+ years old, sleeping comfort is important and we should be able to fit a queen size air mattress in the sleeping area. Our ultralight sleep pads didn’t do the job…Great gear, I’d recommend it to anyone

I reviewed and did researched online about the Atacama Tent in 2019. I looked at You Tube videos and finally purchased it 2021. My camping trips have been without my motorcycle for now and the weather completely sunny every trip. I set it up in my backyard after receipt and very happy so far with my purchase. The tent was very easy to setup. I found stacking the wind side down with two stacks and pulling the opposite end, was the easiest way to set it up. There was also a video online about this. Mainly camping in State parks and so far no issues. I camped with two Teton cots, Yeti cooler, a chair, two storage containers and aluminum table inside the tent. After two months of use though, no rain or heavy winds yet to further evaluate it, comments and suggestions: 1. The inner vestibule main zipper doors in the sleeping area sits a little to high off the ground. Tripped a few times entering and exiting from not raising my foot up high enough. Wider opening near the bottom would be nice. 2. There is a noticeable gap of space 4-6 inches average around the vestibula and the tent itself, especially the roof area. The bugs easily got between the vestibule and tent because of the gap. The tie downs stretch a lot and seems too tight attached to the tent as if the vestibule should be taller and wider. There were no attachment loops in the center, just the outside. Had no problems though and very happy of the enclosure because it kept the mosquitos out when inside 3. The two garage door entrances are nice and although I also purchased the awning kit, had no use for it yet. Great if there was bug zipper screens on the doors would be a nice modification. Currently rolled up was fine but you couldn't keep all the bugs out. The tent gets hot in the sun with the doors down and it's nice if you could sit down in the garage area bug proofed by two additional zipper screen doors. 4. Both ground sheets are a plus and keep everything inside completely dry. I removed both sheets after tear downs to dry our the bottom of the sheets before packing, great groundsheets. Packing the tent also with groundsheets attached was also no problem but only when completely dry. 5. I own a Ducati Multistrada 1200S and although I haven't placed it inside the garage, know it would fit but area tight. 5. Single person in the tent with two full size dogs great. Perfect for one or two people is fine with this tent. 6. On average, about 75% of The bottom edges of the tent around sit higher off the ground. This was noticeable for the garage area. The outside center of the sleeping area has an elastic tie down strap for a tent stack but still kept the edges high off the ground. In general very happy so far with this tent and excited to have it when camping using my truck. Single motorcycle rider now but looking forward when I camp using my motorcycle. This review is after three months of use. I hope continued use and exposure to more what mother nature decides will further determine its quality and built but so far a very happy customer.

I love the new tent comfort and color. Pretty big for one guy but it is nice to camp in this luxury and get a good nights sleep.. Not sure if Green might keep the morning sun out better :)

Easy to setup and take down. Works great and fits on bike

I have owned the tent for over a year and have used it in various conditions. I have been camping all my life in all sorts of tents. For: - good quality materials and build - it does the main things well, it keeps you dry and it is well ventilated - roomy for the weight - excellent (comfortable) sleeping quarters - easy to pitch Against: -difficult to pitch properly, there’s always something sagging or wrinkling. The guylines (and there are many) don’t really help. - the bag is too small to easily pack the tent. When wet, forget it. A roomier bag with a zipper (like most tents have nowadays) would be more practical. Note that I do leave the groundsheet of the sleeping quarters in the tent. - the doors cannot easily be opened with one hand. This is mainly due to the velcro strips, and the ‘flaps’ tend to get snagged in the zipper. Also you can’t easily/quicly leave the sidedoors open for instance by moving it to one side. - the screen door is unpractical as you always need to open both the screendoor and the regular door (or tie the screendoor up), and of limited use anyway given the large opening to the ground on all sides. - the ‘garage’ area needs some storage pockets! All in all I feel the tent is lacking some small yet important practical details that make it easy and fun to use.

I recommend this tent. Years ago I bought an earlier version of this tent and used it when I was touring by motorcycling. Now I’m touring in a minivan with my wife. This lastest tent has a few really good improvements, the most important to me being the expansion of the sleeping area so the we can sleep lengthwise and no longer need to step over the person closest to the opening to the “garage”. Otherwise it’s pretty similar to the older tent but with some nice improvements like labeling the wind side of the tent and other small improvements. There are a lot of tents out there, but few of them are this compact and as high a quality as this one. That garage is so useful as a transition area to the outside.

I ordered this last minute over the phone (amazing customer service) I was headed out on a trip and I had it shipped overnight. I loaded it on the GSA without even opening it. By the time I got to my camp it was dark. I thought setting up would be a pain but it took me about 10 minutes to figure it out. (They have a great tutorial on YouTube) Very Roomy, well built and excellent Quality. It may be a bit heavy or bulky for some people but to that I say, “Ditch the crap you won’t use and strap this tent on.”

Just received the tent and ground sheets two weeks ago. Just put it up for a three day trip. The tent was very easy to put up. Went through two days of heavy to all day rains and wind speeds to 35 mph. The tent held up well and stayed bone dry. I was amazed at the size of the garage area until you see it first hand you wouldn't believe it. Very well made tent. Man sure to stake all areas at the base. Only thing that would be nice which is the something I have heard was to have a couple place to hand small lanterns off rings in the garage area. Excellent tent

The price did make me think hard about this purchase, but as soon as I got the tent and opened the box, you see where that money went. Excellent quality and the easiest tent I have ever pitched, despite its size. And speaking of size, if you don't have enough room in this tent, it's time for an RV! Fits me, my R1200GS, and all of my gear comfortably and still packs relatively small for its pitched size. Since it does weigh around 14 lbs, it would be a challenge to pack on a lightweight dual sport with all other necessary gear. But, if you will do a lot of camping on a big ADV bike, look no further!
