For a large tent (8-10 people), which is stronger – a taller tunnel design, or a dome design?
Dome
Think about how the force of a strong wind would hit it. In most cases domes deflect wind well however a tunnel would have weak parts vulnerable to the wind
And dont buy cheap or chinese it you want it to last for more than one occasion!

I have an American Camper dome tent with no instuctions on how to set it up, can someone help me?!?
My American Camper dome tent has all these color cordinated metal poles, 4 brown-burgundy color, 4 green, 4 blue,4 curved yellow ones, 2 red, one white, and one pink, can someone please tell me how to set it up?!
It sounds like I have the same tent you are talking about. The yellow poles are NOT bent by mistake. Basically you put together two long lengths that run across the front and the back with the bent sides at the corners on the top. You will have one a straight piece running toward the front and back. If you have the short bent pieces, the loop in the middle is what the top pole slips into. The trick is stretching the canvas loop at the front and back over the end of the poles. You will prop up the feet (after having it all put together) on the sides at an angle until the tent is tightly up.
The Wanderer Latitude 4V Dome tent is a quality 4V tent constructed from lightweight, durable materials and featuring aluminium poles to reduce the pack weight further. A large front vestibule on the tent provides plenty of room to store packs and gear out of the weather.

3 stages to folding up a tent…
1) wake and dress provocatively.
2) stand around looking pathetic until a man appears
3) bat eyelids at man & say "I don’t suppose you could pack our tent away, it’s very confusing for little old me…"
et VOILA!!!!
No, the firepit is not mine – I don’t make campfires!
This video is not meant to sell the REI tent – just a bit of a demo on a single-person tent and how it operates. Although not very roomy it’s a relatively solid tent that does a good job of keeping the rain out. However, the wind easily makes its way in…
This video was recorded near South Colony Lake in the Sangre De Cristo Mountains of Colorado. The elevation is about 11,600 feet (3,535 metres)

can’t find poles anywhere can someone please help?
Go to a camping supply store and have them cut you poles to measure. You might also try an army surplus store for tent poles. I am guessing you need the bendy-flexy ones.
A Google search brought this up:
Until fall 2004, Quest USA tents were manufactured exclusively by NorthPole and sold through a number of retailers. These original Quest tents are discontinued and no longer in production. No parts or customer service are available for Quest tents made prior to 2004.
In the fall of 2004, the Quest brand and logo were sold to Dick’s Sporting Goods. Quest tents produced since 2004 are made by several different tent manufacturers for Dick’s Sporting Goods.
Hope you are able to source the poles you need at the website below.
