Great tent for family camping! This is basically the tent I have (Wal-Mart version 13x10, i think? A Craigslist find unopened for $100) for a family of 5. I was a little apprehensive about not having a rainfly. But Coleman designed them without a rainfly, so decided to chance it. After 3 years we have had no issues with water getting in. We even stayed 5 nights in the Black Hills of South Dakota, including two really bad storms with no issues with water getting in. So after that trip it resolved my fears of no rainfly. Easy up and down. For family camping, this is the way to go. Great video, keep it up!

I've had a one person tent that I've used for like 15 years now. I can get it up pretty fast in a rainstorm and it's fairly light, but man, sometimes I wish I could use a big spacious one!

Good summary. At the start you said "we good soaked" but I think you meant it rained hard and you were dry

[slimmmerman]

Is it really that instant?  You just show up at your campsite and POOF tent appears?

[nkystevep]

I have that tent, very easy to put up and take down, even when setting up in the dark

[victorblusnavage]

Don't get me wrong, I like the tent but .... I have always had some difficulties with setup where the legs seem to be inverted (bending the wrong way). Once it is up, it is great. We have had 4 cots and tons of gear inside and there was room to spare. The head room is amazing. I sometimes get leg cramps at night and I can standup and stretch them out easily. I got the add-on rain-fly and can affirm that we have stayed dry in heavy rain.

So that issue with setup actually seemed to eventually catch up with us as it seems like one of my 'helpers' the last I used it actually broke one of legs. Now unfortunately Coleman is no longer stocking parts for mine (purchased in 2018) and it has been difficult to track down a replacement. I may end up repairing the broken leg myself as I do like using this bigger tent for family camping.

Have you had any problems with rain or water getting in since you've posted this review video sir? I want to get it but I've been reading some comments in amazon about flooding.

[lddlmurphy]

These are good tents but if it rains and you have the door open at any point the water runs inside the tent. The doors need a overhang so the rain wont run inside the tent. We found this very annoying.

Another down side is they offer little to no light blockage so if you have young kids expect them to wake up around 4am when the sun comes up in summer.
A good tent could be so much better though

This brings back a lot of memories. This is the kind of tent we always used when camping with the family growing up. Almost every weekend during the summer we lived in a tent like this sleeping on air mattresses. 1980's air mattresses... Not quite the quality of what we have today.

Thanks for the vid, TLB. About the best family car camping tent I've seen so far.

... Appreciated for the video, and our special thanks for addressing the accessibility issue, for the taller people. This will help so much our student camps contingencies and would be also great to see the pack-up video, as to how quick and handy is to pack it up, with the quick change of the locations, in mind :).

Cool Tent, But i am really curious why it has pictures of lanterns all over it. Video.

[KandaJE]

Wow! This decided it! When you said 6' 2" and there was more room! That sold it!
'Nuff said! I'm getting it! Oh, and the Colors! I love it! No more NEON Colored hunting tent!

[YC]

Thanks for your review! I was undecided on the type of tent I want to purchase until I landed on this video! Awesome and clear review there!

[mlura]

Great Review! I will get this one based on your review. Thanks!

[TheDaaazer]

This is a GREAT tent -- it really is this easy to use AND it is HUGE when set up and very manageable when collapsed, broken down. We have had ours for over 7 years and it is still going strong. Cannot say enough good things about this tent. Wonderful buy.

[curtriceennis]

Hello,
Hope you get this message. I was uncertain which tent to purchase, but, am probably sold on this one, now that I've seen the inside of it and found out how it is rain-proof. Thank you for your review. (Haven't checked to see if you have, but, just wish you had a video of putting it up. Did it take two people or can one person put it up?). Thanks for any information if you should see this comment.

[usivio]

This will be perfect for camping out in my own back yard!

[abdullahussien]

don't trust the tent onkeeping you dry just put a tarp for extra protection from rain getting and having a bad experience.

[RIPPER]

Been thinking about this tent... Didn't realize the rain fly wasn't included, and cost flipping 50 bucks more... Seriously? 50 bucks for a rainfly??

If I'm spending that much, I'll just spend a hundred dollars more, and get a better tent!

[SuperPain]

Thank you for the review, I am currently shopping for a larger tent for extended stays and this one is on my "maybe" list. Thanks again !
