hometowncandles Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 Ok, maybe I've used too much peroxide on my head for too many years now, but I just can't seem to see the difference in these two tents from sams, except about $50 bucks. Maybe I'm just looking too hard and overlooking something, but I've read all the specs and info, and they seem identical. Could someone who has these, or maybe can read better than I can, LOL, tell me the difference and suggest which would be best. Or if there is something better out there. These are both the E-Z Ups, but the first one is called Instant and the second one is called Embassy IIhttp://www.samsclub.com/shopping/navigate.do?dest=5&item=376280http://www.samsclub.com/shopping/navigate.do?dest=5&item=363216I'm planning on doing a few outside shows this year and normally it's either me and my mom or me and my aunt setting things up.(DH usually has to work on set up day) So I need something that's going to be as managable as possible for the two of us.TIAJennifer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barncat Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 The second one folds down to 4' instead of 5'. So much easier to manage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
islandgirl Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 Hey Jen.. I can let you know soon, as I just bought one!!One can be shipped via online ordering (197.00) and the other you can pick up at your local club. (149.00)I had my FIL pick one up at Sams club for $149.00 as they carried it at his.He lives 2 hours away, and I have not gotten down there yet to get it.The Sams in my area did not carry it..:undecidedCall your local Sam's and see if the have it in stock. If you get it before me, let me know what you think.. I can't wait to put it up and see it!!(ETS) Just saw Barncats post.. I think I got the 4' One..

southern.scents Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 The Embassy is 1 foot shorter when collapsed. Better for loading in Cars or smaller vehichles. Not $50 better IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hometowncandles Posted March 4, 2008 Author Share Posted March 4, 2008 Thanks guys, I didn't even notice the difference in fold down size. Guess I'll be going with the $149 one.The closest Sam's to me is about 1 1/2 hours away, but we go about every other month. They have a few things I just can't live without in bulk, soft pretzels, jalapeno poppers, bread sticks, etc etc. I'm just glad we have to drive so far to get to one, if I lived any closer, I'd weigh 300 pounds. LOLI'll be making a trip to Sams in a couple of weeks to pick one up, before I spend my money on something else. Islandgirl~make sure you post on how you like it when you get it, and I'll do the same.Thanks everybody.Jennifer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcicj Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 How did you like the tent. I am thinking of buying that exact one. Is it pretty durable? The last one I bought was kind of flimsy and didn't hold up well to the wind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vicky_CO Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 You need the one with the cross bars in the center the one with out will not hold up to the wind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinecreek Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 Ok, so which one is wind resistance with the cross bars in the top? I have looked at both descriptions and I don't see it in either one of them... did I miss it? Thanks!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
islandgirl Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 The Embassy II is commercial grade. Says it has a "New" Patent Pending Ceiling design. Hope it holds up in the wind.. http://www.ezupdirect.com/ezup-instant-shelters/embassy2.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
