I think I've settled on finding a reasonably lightweight tarp to cover it with while laying on its side. Ty0604, that's hilarious about the crazy racoon, hopefully not a rabid one though! lol Of course it wouldn't have been hilarious if you had been left with a wrecked tent not being replaced by the manufacturer, or you had been bitten. It's always nice to hear about a manufacturer taking such great care of their customers!

Just to mention again for any who missed it, I'm trying to stay away from tents that have bright eye-popping colors for a few different reasons. If the Hubba Hubba wasn't bright brilliant shinning white and red I'd likely have gone with it, but since MSR has chosen these colors and no other options, it's out of the running. I'm going to look into some of the other options that have been shared here, but as of right now I'm still leaning on the Seedhouse SL2. It looks to have all the functionality I'm looking for and a color scheme I can live with.
To be clear; the rain fly on the Eureka Spitfire is grey so with that on it's not bright, at all.

Totally my fault. I made oatmeal. Fell asleep before I ate it. Woke up with a hole in my tent and the oatmeal gone.
