Fantastic tent, would be worth 5 stars with one minor modification you can make physically,
We got this tent this jump to exchange an OLD Coleman external frame tent that used to leak on us like a seive, even when all we had was a gray dew. Anyhow, this tent has performed like a champ for the camping we did this summer.
Initially of all, the plusses…and there are bounty:
1) This tent is EASY to set up. The external frame and tent never come away from each additional, so you don’t have a chance to lose whatever thing. I have set the tent up on my own, but, frankly, it’s simpler to set up when you have the help of one additional self.
2) The set up goes like this…with you have the tent out of its bag you back the bend of the corners of the external fram so the poles proffer out and down rather than down and up (the way they are stored). Next, proffer the four telescoping poles that go from the center of the tent to the four corners until they snap into spot at their maximum additional room. With you have done that you proffer and vertical poles (I urge dependability the corners initially) until they snap locked at their maximum additional room. Then do the same for the side poles, and you are done with the basic set up. Lastly, use tent pegs to secure to corners and sides of the tent in place.
3) Our initially day trip it rained, but we stayed nice and dry (be sure to use a ground cloth or tarp under your tent). Thanks Coleman!
4) There are plently of windows in the tent, and the tent can be on terrible stipulations into two rooms – front and back.
5) The engineering of this tent is such that it is able to give and sway a bit in the wind, and that’s nice.
6) The tent is made of excellent materials.
The minuses…
1) The carry bag that the tent comes in seems a bit too tiny when you try to place the tent back into it when you break camp, but with some grunting and impolite shoving it finally will go back in. (Why do tent engineers always make the bag always do this!?)
2) This is NOT a back-packing tent…i.e., it’s HEAVY. That’s OK for us, since we camp in campgrounds everywhere we can handbook close to everywhere we set up camp.
3) The metal L-shaped tent pegs are inadequate for high wind conditions…and if the gusts are gray enough the tent will slip out of these pegs and to a degree collapse…not what you want to have happen to you and your family at night..which leads me to the part of the review everywhere I tell you how to make this 4-star tent into a 5-star tent.
Here’s how to make your 4-star tent a 5-star tent. It’s simple. The one noteworthy weakness of this tent is that the tent pegs are not significant enough to hold up to prolonged exposure to wind (and in Idaho everywhere I live it can get mighty turbulent). So, to right this flaw simply repalace the light-weight metal tent pegs with more significant tent pegs, such as COGHLANS Tent Stakes / Pegs 9″ ABS Tent Pegs Md: 9309. or Coghlan’s Ltd Tent Pegs 12In Abs 6Pk 9312. A half dozen of these pegs will do the trick, and viola, you have a 5-star tent!
The last time we went camping (last week) I had the impression that I must throw some of our ancient tent pegs in with our gear, and I’m glad I did! They worked wonders.
I hope this review and suggestion was helpful to you.
So, lacking the alternative tent pegs, 4-stars.

|Fantastic tent for the fee,
We just returned from our 1st camping trip with this tent. We usually camp once a year, for 4 nights/5 days, at a campground. Our family consists of my partner & I and our 3 kids, aged 13, 14 & 17. Our must-haves in a tent when we were looking were a room divider and a non D-shaped door (D-shaped are too vulnerable to zipper blow-outs with lots of not so gentle use…). We bought this tent based on those supplies, the dimensions & # accomodated, the ease of set up & reviews.
Our two cents:
PROS
1) this tent certainly is simple to set up. My partner & his mom (I’m 8 1/2 months pregnant) set up the tent straight out of the bag for the 1st time in about 15 summary. I read the information but it wasn’t even really necessary, it was that simple.
2) take down was just as simple.
3) bounty of room for our family of five. It would be 8 man as long as all was very comfortable with each additional! It fit our family on 2 queen and 1 twin mattresses with space for our gear and our boys gear. My daughter is too particular & kept her stuff stored in the car! We’re inane to have to pile more gear in the car next year when we add the pack & play even if!
4) the room divider was WONDERFUL. My partner didn’t reflect he’d like it (being separated from the kids) but he admitted he liked having our stuff separated from theirs & not having to paw owing to all’s things & bedding to get to our own.
5) two doors. One was T shaped, which is exactly what we wanted, and the one the kids used. The additional was D-shaped, and not what we wanted, but we place it at our end everywhere we were more conscious of the care looked-for to run it lacking zipper blow-outs.
CONS:
1) there is no rain glide and therefore no ventilation in the ceiling. Heat rises. Even with the parapet being very nearly completely screened & open all day to allocate air flow the tent was warm. And humid. I was thankful the temps got down to the 40′s & 50′s on a couple nights to allocate more comfortable sleeping conditions!
2) there are no ties to secure the windows with when they are rolled down to expose the screens. You roll them down and sort of tuck them into themselves at the underside. It’s not practically deep enough for them to stay & they wind up diminishing out. Some ties would be nice to help them stay in place.
We had fantastic weather and a tarp covering the tent & area nearly it in the consequence of rain – so we can’t speak to the weather resistance of the tent. We did seal the seams, as one must do with ANY tent anyhow. Oh – and get some beefier tent stakes. The ones built-in are pretty wimpy!

|Awe-inspiring tent,
This tent is exactly what I was looking for. It sets up in less than 5 mins and is sizeable as hell. I like being able to open up all the windows for a screen household look. The tent also packs up pretty excellent too. The bag supplied is ample and extra straps are supplied. What I don’t like about the tent is for the size of the tent I was in the family way more storage space room to hold things, more pockets and compartments. It also lacks access holes to the further than. I used my tent in the rain and it held up lacking any leaks. One additional despise I have is the might of the poles I feel the poles must be a tad bit thicker. I look forwards to many years with this tent.
