I don’t think this Coleman 10-Person Instant Tent will do very well against strong winds. This is a cabin tent, so the shape isn’t aerodynamic at all. One of the best features about this tent is the dark room technology. In the above pictures, you saw what this Coleman 10-Person Instant Cabin Tent looked like with all the windows open. If there are no bugs, you can increase ventilation by leaving the hinged door open, and also by unzipping the other door, rolling it up and clipping it to the side right here like this.
Just remember to press on the silver lock button on all the telescoping poles and push on them until they cannot be retracted further. It’ll take about ~7.5 minutes for 2 people to set up this Coleman 10-Person Instant Tent. After the roof poles, pull apart or extend the 6 telescoping wall poles as well. All the telescoping poles (both roof and wall poles) have silver lock buttons that click into place when fully extended.
See for example this Coleman Queen size camping bed, a tool from the same brand. This tent pops into shape in under five minutes and only needs one person to set it up. What’s more, it offers two storage pockets that coleman ice chest are roomy enough to fit a wallet, a phone, an e-reader, a couple of headlamps, and even a mini children’s audio player and headphones. In addition to stale air, the sealed tent holds moisture in like a sponge.
Users often encounter problems when not storing the tent correctly. Ensure the tent is completely dry before folding and storing. Fold the tent fabric neatly, avoiding sharp creases, and store it in a cool, dry place. Keeping it away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures will help prevent material deterioration over time. Dismantling the tent can sometimes be tricky and may cause damage if not done correctly.
Also, my came with a defective pole that was attached the wrong way, and could not extend and retract properly. The poles and pole clips of this Coleman 10-Person Instant Tent are all pre-attached, so that was really convenient for putting it up and taking it down. The carry bag is black, and the bottom can be expanded for an easier pack up.
A subreddit for campers concerned more about the act of camping and less concerned about hiking long distances or light gear. Illumiline™ reflective guy lines are more visible so you don’t get tripped up if you need to take a walk at night. Inside, there’s enough room to stretch out on a queen-sized airbed. I tried to make sure that the zippers were protected by this yellow rain cover thing on the outside, but it seems to be soaked with water, and made the leaking worse. For weather resistance, I looked at rain and wind protection. The divider extends all the way to the floor, but there are pretty big gaps at the sides of the divider.
Coleman was gracious enough to send this family camping tent for review. I’ll tell you what I liked, show you how easy it is to set up, and talk about a feature I didn’t care for. Last summer, I tried using the tent again, and it also rained. I was super careful to read the instructions thoroughly and put on the rain-fly correctly, and had all guy-lines in place and taught as possible.
The hinged D-door measures about 50 by 34 inches in dimensions, and is only about 47 inches from the ground to the top of the door, because the side walls aren’t really that vertical. If there’s no rain, you you can unzip the windows for more ventilation, and there’s a bug net to prevent larger bugs from getting in. Also, the side walls aren’t as vertical as I expected them to be. Next, pull the tent out tight and drape the rainfly over the tent. The green side of the rainfly is the right side up, and the underside of the rainfly is black.
