TIP: The online Bushwalk Inventory System can help bushwalkers with a variety of bushwalk planning tasks, including: Manage which items they take bushwalking so that they do not forget anything they might need, plan meals for their walks, and automatically compile food/fuel shopping lists (lists of consumables) required to make and cook the meals for each walk. It is particularly useful for planning for groups who share food or other items, but is also useful for individual walkers.Will this tent be reliable

should be ok condensation wise,
but the floor will probably be useless on wet ground 3000mm waterproof rating isnt good. you'd need a footprint or some other material under it with a higher waterproof rating , ideally 10,000 if you're going to be on sodden ground...
a lot of american tensts are like that , you can't trust the floors and need an extra footprint if you're going to be in really wet weather or conditions.

My Scarp 1 (30D/1200mm silnylon floor) did just fine last night with nearly an inch of water under it.

What did you not like in your previous tent and how tall are you ?
What mat do you use ?
