The six stakes will hold the low-profile design down just fine with the two pre-attached guylines. Should the weather turn hot, the large windows on both sides of the tent and door paired with the two top vents allow plenty of air to run through. Yes, there should be enough space, the tent is bigger than most other 6-person tents. There is no included footprint, The floor may be made of WeatherTec systems patented welded but it is still best to protect it further with a footprint, more so on rough terrain.

Here I describe my own climbs and give reviews of equipment.
Unless you only plan to bring this tent out for the occasional dry weather camping trip, the fact you have to buy a separate rain fly really reduced the value for money of this tent for us. When testing, we read a fair number of reviews where the expectations of tents may be more than is typically reasonable for the product. Many tents—especially the more affordable ones—tend to require that you waterproof them before their first use and again at regular intervals depending on the use. It’s always best to waterproof a new tent before the first use to keep out heavy rains.
The of the Coleman® Quail Mountain Cabin Tent gives you more space and headroom than you would expect from a tent. This beauty feels more like a house than a tent at the campsite. WeatherTec System’s patented welded floors and inverted protected seams help you stay dry.
We tested the four-person version of this tent and have to say that, when they say instant, they mean it. The aluminum poles extend and collapse using a button system that is a cinch to figure out. Campers should expect Coleman tents to withstand light to moderate rain showers, depending on duration. If a heavy rains are expected, a tarp can be rigged or laid over the tent for more protection. Coleman is the only tent manufacturer to offer a “hinged door” on their large, family tent models. A fiberglass pole inserts into the outer perimeter of the tent door and flexes, allowing the door to keep its shape when zipped open.
My coleman lantern loves this tent and—as far as family camping tents are concerned—it has made us complete converts to the world of instant tents. Whether you’re a new camper or just looking to simplify things when taking your family on camping adventures, this tent is a total winner. All cabin tents come with a recommended capacity, which is the total number of people it can comfortably sleep.
