We have this same Ridgeway, two room fabric palace.

Bring a truck.

Also, regarding the floor, don't neglect to get a tarp or ground cover and make sure that the ground cover does not extend beyond the footprint of the tent. The water running down the outside walls of the tent should land on grass, not your groundcloth. That way it goes into the ground, not onto the top of your groundcloth and then wicks to your tent floor. Hobbs is right, you'll want a couple of small towels to wipe down the inside of the tent too, with all those lungs pumping out the moisture.

It's a nice tent, but having camped with it and smaller tents, the smaller tents are better. That monster just gives you an excuse to bring more crap. Which is anathema to the reason for camping in the first place, for me.
