Note that the panels must be closed if it is raining, so this cannot be a pleasant place if the rain continues for hours. There are two vents on the roof, but they too must be closed in the case of rain. If you decide you’re into coleman sundome camping for the long haul, consider this as your upgrade for the future. The canvas is sturdy and withstands rain, you can stand up in it regardless of height, and it has plenty of ventilation while keeping things private.
Also, I found that the corners of the floorings, which are stated to be “welded”, are also not taped, and both tents also started leaking here. Your tent fabric will also come with a water-resistant coating, the corners of the flooring will be welded, and your zippers will come with zipper cuffs. If you are not familiar with this terminology, in general, this so-called plastic welding creates the best possible and the most durable seals which do not deteriorate or decay in time. So with such a technology used on the floor, you can be sure it should work fine.
All you have to do is lay it down, spread out the fabric, extend the poles out from the hub until it locks into place. Then just chuck the waterproof fly over the top, and you’re all ready for a solid night’s sleep. Even the most time-deprived or rookie camper can get their tent set up in minutes, with the Instant Up Tents from Coleman.
If the Coleman Instant Tent isn’t for you there are a few other options that are similar with a few different features. This takes some of the pressure off of the center of the tent and makes it easier to close. Or you can just roll up and tie up the inner tent flap and not bother with it at all.
It’s almost pitch black even though there are still street lights from the outside. When it comes to cabin tents, I think that CORE Equipment has a wider variety of choices to pick from. Instead, they have these mesh wall vents, which are pretty good if there’s not a lot of wind, but you can’t zip these vents up from the inside of the tent if there’s wind blowing rain into your tent. Some of the key benefits of the Coleman 6 tent, like its huge windows and its height, contribute also to its cons.
Second, this is a tent for car camping, so you are not supposed to carry it long distances. The same is with its height; the tent with such huge straightened walls is an obstacle for winds so rather use a dome coleman instant tent tent if you expect very windy situations in your outdoor adventure. See how this tent compares with two other cabin type tents, to see more please follow the links, they are described in separate reviews.
