Coleman Instant 10 Person Dark Room Tent Review

This can be of particular importance when you are in rush, either tired from your outdoor activity or when you are setting the tent up in rain. With the floor size of 10 x 9 ft (3 x 2.7 m), you can indeed put 6 sleeping bags there, but you will be cramped. You have put 5 pads in one row, and the sixth would be separate, oriented along the length of the tent. Note that there are no vestibules, so you have no extra covered space for gear.

Vestibules are great for storing gear or equipment outside the main body of the tent. They’re great for keeping stinky boots dry and safe without coleman ice chest having to bring them into where you’re sleeping. It stays extremely dark inside which makes sleeping in past the rising sun a cinch.

This tent is included in my lust of Coleman 6 person cabin tents. If you’ve got your heart set on fall camping and are expecting storms, go ahead and grab yourself a tarp or two. The rainfly doesn’t hold up on its own with the Coleman 6 person instant coleman ice chest tent cabin. And second, conventional cabin tents, where you’ve got to insert poles through pole sleeves, tend to have much higher peak heights than instant cabin tents. The Coleman’s lightning-fast setup time is really its only party piece.

I’ve set up and taken it down at least 100 times since I bought it and there’s been no failure in the pop up pole system and all the seams are still watertight. Luckily the outer door flap closes just fine and if you want to make closing the inner flap easier all you have to do is leave each end of the tent staked a few inches off the ground. We experienced some very high winds when camping in southern Utah and although it was very noisy (like all tents in the wind) I never felt like the whole thing was going to blow away.

Speaking of zippers, my Core Tent zippers were OK, they’re not branded, but they’re not too snaggy either, except when you get this rain cover thing/zipper cuff caught in the path of the zipper. In fact, my Core tent’s peak height is so high I couldn’t even reach the top on my own. In contrast, my Core 9-Person Instant Cabin Tent has a peak height of only 75 and a half inches, or 6.3 feet. On the other hand, other tents have smaller windows, like my WeatherMaster 10-Person Tent and my Core 10-Person Cabin Tent.

Rather, the tent is all built waterproof and they describe it as having a built-n fly. This 6 person tent is more deluxe than the original product and its alternatives, but customers feel it’s a worthy investment for camping-lovers. On the other hand, it would make a fantastic tent for backyard camping for six kids.

It instantly springs open and is ready to be loaded up with bedding. The mesh is woven tight enough to keep bugs out and loose enough to see through coleman screen tent very easily. The shape also makes it very wind resistant but I do suggest tying down the wind cover on the sides as well as each end.

Besides, those queen size beds have integrated side tables, so there so no way they can fit. It is disappointing to see such statements in view of the fact that the same brand sells such beds, and they clearly cannot fit. The term cabin is described in detail in my separate text, so here just to stress that this implies a very tall tent with nearly vertical walls and huge windows. You should also be aware that tents with integrated rain flies can often be problematic.

It is enough space for two pillows and there’s room to store your stuff in the leftover space on each end, but it’s a little cramped if you are two adults camping for longer than just a weekend. When you have limited time to spend out in the wilderness you don’t want to use half a day setting up your tent. When we determine the valuation of a single tent, we examine tons of stuff, finding things where the tent could perform well against other similar tents and where it is lacking. The improved design features have reduced the set-up time from, what used to be around 30 minutes, to a possible one minute, with practice. Inverted floor seams boost weather-proofing by concealing needle holes inside the Coleman Instant tent 8. The  quick set-up of  this 8-person tent does not compromise your comfort factor.
