There have been other videos who indicate that the front canopy rolled up will leak water into the tent. My thoughts are if you roll it up in reverse the water will roll off the top and not collect inside the roll solving the water leak problem.
Correct. He rolled it up the wrong way, according to other Kodiak owners. This way the rain won't collect. That was one flaw in an otherwise extremely helpful presentation.
Remember to season the tent! That is, the first time you set it up, thoroughly hose it down (especially on the seams) both outside and inside and let it dry. This allows all the cotton fibers to expand and seal potential small gaps preventing water leaks in the future.
We bought a Kodiak 10x14 vx and we loveeeee it. So much space for our cots and table and chairs. Great tents...I like the plastic smell reminds me to dolls. Lol
I have the same exact tent and I love it I camped so many times in all kinds of weather purring rain and high winds and the tent performed flolassley not one drop of water getting in, my only recommendation is I wish Kodiak would include an option of putting in a stove jack for wood burning stove, I was planning on putting a stove jack in myself but I just don't have the courage of cutting a hole in the roof of the tent so I bought another tent with a stove jack built in it.
Great review Dan and excellent video work by your wife! Any update or thoughts on this tent? I’m still camping with my trustworthy Marmot Fortress, but considering a canvas tent of this size for long term and/or winter excursions. Thanks!

This was probably the best "from the ground" video of how to set these up, plus the features. Great job. Very helpful. Thanks. Pleasant camping!
You can hang the pouches in between the doors on loops so they don't block view of any windows

I’ve viewed other kodiak reviews and this one is spot on 👍. I appreciate the difference of generation designs

Excellent job, unboxing, and setup.
Love the "Made in China" markings on the box.
Make sure the wrap the awning the other direction so water doesn't pool

Great review! Convinced me
Love my Kodiak
Those loops are for a room divider
Thanks Dan, that was demo
Always roll awnings under not over
I really like mine, good job
If you roll the awning up from underneath instead of over the top the rain wi not pool
Got one...love it
Good review
Good video, but kill the sound effects.
All their tents are SOLD OUT!! 😱😱😱
Nice review. Is there a way to run an electric cord in other than a door?
Nope
I bought a Springbar... 5-years later, bam! Herpes!
Looks so nice. I am torn between Kodiak and Bell Tent. Your thoughts?
Flexbow or Springbar!Ease and speed of setup is everything.
@@aaronpat123 Competitive Edge Products....best price and service on Flexbow
@@tjellis1479 Thats where I bought 2!10x14 basic and 9x8 deluxe.
bell tents are MUCH HARDER to set up.
Mine didnt come with a ground tarp 🤨
