First a three man would be tight for two with gear but doable without gear let alone three. The Eureka is a good tent and used a lot by the scouts. If you are car camping the colman Insta tent is awesome goes up in less than a minute I love mine. If you are packing it then size and weight matters and the lighter you go the more it cost. The one thing you can do is separate the tent and everyone carry some of it to share the weight and bulk. There are a lot of quality tents the choice is yours. Widow
