One of the things that drives me crazy camping is not being able to find stuff in the dark. I'm always putting my flashlight somewhere and I hate reading with one in one hand. So, I was thrilled when I learned we were going to try out the new Eureka N!ergy 9 Five-Person Family Tent.

It's one of Eureka!'s quality, solid tents with a fiberglass frame and full coverage fly as well as 2 windows, 2 roof vents, and 2 large mesh sidewall panels provide ventilation and light. It also has a gear loft and 2 storage pockets

But, this tent is cool because it's powered! It has 3 glowing 12 volt outlets for items such as phones, a reading light or a fan and the outlets double as night lights and they are powered by the rechargable E! Power Pak.

We've had Eureka! tents before and as always, set-up was very easy and the kids are thrilled with the possibilities of life's conveniences that can be brought to the great outdoors and I totally love the Eureka 12v Flexible Reading Light.

It measures 9 x 9 feet across the floor and it's 6 feet tall and weighs 15 pounds, 6 ounces. It retails for about $150 US and the accessories such as the E! Power Pak are sold separately.
