Best praise vs top criticism for The North Face Wawona 8
“Yes, I do. The footprint of the Wawona 6 is 116.1 x 93.7 and the footprint of the Wawona 8 is 166.5 x 94 The vestibule is absolutely incredible and I cannot foresee ever using a different tent. The Wawona gets some heat because it doesn't have a full fly but, being PNW based, we've never had an issue in either the 6 or 8. We had the REI Kingdom 8 before this tent and had issues with water getting in and overall tent integrity (ie the poles). I cannot recommend either version of the Wawona enough.”
