 Nice warm weather tent-BEWARE of cool weather! March 5, 2009

I recently bought this tent for a February trip to Florida. Generally I liked the tent. In the way it is built the tent appears to be rain resistant, but I didn't have opportunity to test it in rain. I would have rated this tent near the 5 star level because of its relative low cost and ease of use except for several problems discussed below.
First, the entrance door zipper isn't beefy enough. I can see putting small zippers on non high use areas, but come on, the front door? This was a real bad move by Coleman. Charge me two more dollars and give me a real zipper here.
Second, don't plan on being warm in this tent at any temperature below the 60's F. Coleman has placed massive screens on the left and right sides of the tent which cover about 40% of the height of the tent. Why they had to be so big is beyond me. However, if Coleman had given users the ability to zip up a cover over these gaping holes (a cover like on the front door and rear window which are also screened), the large screens would have been OK. But for some unknown reason the idea of covering these massive screens was apparently never thought of by the Coleman design team. Well I guess they never slept in one of these babies below 65 F. If they had, I assure you that the screens would have probably have been much smaller and for sure they would have been designed to be covered by a zippered flap on the inside of the tent.
After all, I wasn't staying in the Arctic, this is central Florida we're talking about here. Based on the fact you can't cover these huge screens, I would not recommend this tent for any camping below 60 F. Because of this design flaw, if night air bothers your respiratory system, you will be getting more night air than you will know what to do with in this tent.
One last small improvement suggestion for the Coleman design team if you're reading -- how about making the tent bag a wee bit bigger? Maybe your seasoned professionals in the controlled environment of the factory can easily fit the tent into the bag provided but we mere mortals have difficulty doing it out in the field.
In conclusion, I really wanted to give this tent a much higher rating because of its ease of use and value but the blatant stupidity of these easily fixable design flaws prohibits me from doing so!

Happy with the product & happy with the speed & ease of transaction. When camping in Maine, it rained once - but it was a heavy downpour - and no water came in the tent. I did use the seam sealer, so maybe that helped.

I bought this for myself to go camping in the mountains of Idaho. I loved it. Even though I had not put a tent up in over 20 years I found it went up with ease, zippers were snug and it came down just as easily. Thanks Coleman for making a grandmother look good!

I've owned this tent for about six years now. It's easy to set up, requiring only about ten minutes from roll out to the final stake, and stands up admirably to wind and rain. This is not a long term or extreme weather tent. It is designed for light use in mild weather.
I'd recommend sealing the seams around the bottom of the entryway, as a driving rain causes some minor leakage in that area, and I noticed a very small wear hole near the right front bottom clasp the last time I set it up. A quick seam-seal over the hole fixed the problem.
The first thing I noticed about the tent when I took it out of the box was that the tub of the tent is sturdy, but not heavy-duty. Extend the life of the floor by laying down a tarp underneath the tent before erecting it. I've done this since day one, and the tub still looks new, without a single rip or wear spot.
Overall a very good tent for the money if you're looking for a good, dependable weekender.

I bought this tent after not having been camping for over 15 years. Storms went through our campsite and the campsite flooded and mud everywhere. Thankfully I was able to keep dry in this tent. It handled really well...even on the ground! I was very surprised and really happy about that. This is an inexpensive and easy to set up tent.
