Glad you put the word "YET" in there!!

The Kids have blown so many zippers out of My tents that they arent allowed to even look at the zipper on this tent.
This is My tent so when I fly east to go hunting I have a tent with a zipper.
Seriously they have nuked so many tents We now have 2 of the coleman tents with the hinged doors..They work great..
No need to zip..The Kids cant screw these up..Yet

The only malfunctions I have had on any of my tents has been either the zippers or the pole sleeves getting ripped. 

You would think after all these years they could make a kid or Alchase proof zipper!!

We put a Tennis ball attached to the center pole to keep it from punching a hole through it.  In really high winds it would pick it up and slam it down.    We used a Mr. Heater in it (one burner) and it will cook just fine.   Idabooner liked to keep it bedside and light it in the morning, and place a little coffee pot on it to heat up water, then used his coffee (tea) bags for coffee almost instantly out of bed.  Its a nice tent.  It does however have lots of condensation ESPECIALLY if you use that heater.

I used this one last year. Plenty of room for just one person. I put a couple of hooks on the center pole for hanging my jacket/pants. The best part is that this tent has a mesh screen floor that is rubberized just as you come in the door with boots on. If your boots are wet, you can step in out of the weather, sit on a bin and take them off. Any water/snow will drain through the mesh floor.

It also has the stove jack that melted, so I had to fix it with some cheaper tent material, velcro and my wife's sewing machine. I think I can use it better than she can now!!  

I was a bit apprehensive about the layout but there's plenty of headroom for a 6'+ person in the middle and can easily get 3 cots in around the perimeter.

As for wind, as long as the stakes and ropes are tight, the wind seems to go right around it.

Hope this doesn't count for hijacking the thread......  

Thought I would provide my experience/review of another Cabela's tent that is similar in design.

flashover52, that mesh floor idea sounds pretty smart. What model tent is that?

I just bought the 10x10, set it up, good tent! the provided stakes are rediculous!!!! comes withe 23: weigh about 4lbs because their steel. not all stakes are necessary though. I will definitely buy aluminium if I hike in w/this tent

Iceman,
First, sorry for the delay...I missed your question some time back and haven't been on much in the past few days (actually got out yesterday to set my first trail cam!). This is an older Cabela's Outback (12'x12') made by Montana Canvas. Below are a couple of pictures from last year -- pardon the mess but it was an early start that morning and I just got back to take a nap.  

You can see what I mean about the mesh just inside the door as it's about a 1' wide strip that runs the entire length of the side with the door. If I get the tent set up again before this season (gotta wait for the grass to dry now...), I'll try to get a good picture of the interior without the bins/panniers and cot in there.

Yeah, I am liking that floor...

One could probably outfit an existing floor by purchasing some mesh, cutting a chunk of existing out and then stitching the mesh in (or hiring someone). Fabric can be found in many places but to keep it in WA, check out http://www.seattlefabrics.com/mesh.html#Leno Mesh

You could get creative and put in a 3' x 4' rectangle just in front of and to the side of a door; opposite the stove cut out. That would give you more surface area for boots coming in the door.
