Coleman Cabin Tent with 1-Minute Setup, 4/6/8/10 Individual Prompt Tent with Weatherproof Ground, Pre-Connected Poles, Air Vent, & Carry Bag

AMAZING WARRANTY. Larger than the 6-person, and read about our WINDY TRIP!
WARRANTY UPDATE: I have to add to the observations below that Coleman’s warranty department is amazing to work with. They took back the 6-person tent we found to be too small on our first trip, just because I felt that the 6-person description was misleading, no questions asked. NEXT, after the pin failed (see below) in wind, they’re replacing it, no questions asked. The Amazon Prime window had closed by a month. The proper way to submit a warranty issue is on their website under WARRANTY. You simply save your receipt from here in PDF (or scan a print), write the date & “WEB” on the product, take a couple of pictures, and that’s IT. They answered my inquiry in less than 24 hours. I’ll stick with a company that stands behind their product – which in this case is a GREAT tent – this well.WIND UPDATE: ours collapsed but still 5-stars! It held out until we were taking it down. On our first Tiger Scout trip with this sustained winds were 10 to 14 mph but gusts might have hit 30 mph for two nights. Our packs’ tents include various Colemans and direct “instant tent” competitors from Amazon and Walmart, but also some more expensive dome tents. Two or three failed equally, so no favor to the more expensive options.Although a pin failed when we were taking the tent down it held through two nights of winds from all directions off of the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico (at Florida Keys Camp Sawyer). If you look at the knuckle under the fabric on the frame you’ll see they’re plastic-reinforced tips through the metal rods, secured with a metal pin – the pin broke eventually, not the plastic or the rod, so I’d consider it pretty good construction for a “cheap” tent. At times the tent was pressed down on top of us, almost flattened. Although it rained HARD we were completely dry except for one side-seam that dripped only enough to soak up with a face wash cloth (not much!). The two doors were GREAT because we could use the “downwind” side rather than the “wet” side.I hope never to camp in another situation like this (probably motel camp), but learned a few things to pass on if wind is expected. (1) most important is to guy-line out farther than expected and will bring some glow sticks to help keep people away from them. Make them long – short guy-lines are not effective in wind. (2) forget the stakes that come with your tent – buy the strongest you can find (foot-long nail/spikes from Home Depot) and bring a hammer, not a rubber mallet. You may never need them but they’re essential in the event of wind and will reach deeper in wet earth.I could have easily fixed the pin but before realizing how easy it would be we trashed the tent – the rods were bent a little and so I just hammered them down into one another. So, we’ll be buying another of these. The only change I’m going to make is to buy more of the beefy spikes (they held very well), something to glow on the guy-lines, and a chord long enough to tie around the top of the rods to help keep them from flexing all around in high wind (thinking that maybe the chord will take some of the pressure off of the joints).Even though ours failed we were safe, dry and very comfortable until it was time to go. Love this tent!ORIGINAL REVIEW: My video is actually for the disc-o-cot but shows the tent wide open. Also, I say “eight people” can sleep on two side by side but obviously I mean four with more up front. Other reviews hit all the high points about 1 minute setip, quality and dryness. This is a great tent. The OPTIONAL fly is essential for ventilation if there’s any chance of rain but the tent stays dry inside without it. It rained two days without any leaks at all even though one of the front doors was not completely zipped at the floor.I strongly recommend this rather than the 6 person version because the price, weight and ease of setup are comparable for the luxury of the extra room.We have been using the 6-person version for our family of three but even with a disd-o-bunk bed found it tight because we all like to sleep off the floor and cots take space. Don’t even consider more than five in this tent even without cots, unless the kids are still very small, of course.By the way, the disc-o-cot hits a 9 foot wall because of the slope so the 6 person tent isn’t optimal. Even though you’re probably not using bunk beds now, the extra foot is nice.In addition to the giant 14 foot side walls this one has two 10 foot ends, each with a door. The extra door and one foot more than the 9 feet in the six person allows us to leave 2+ foot isle between cots, each of which is 30+ inches (we’re car camping after all). There is a ton of extra space left over up font for a adult, two small kids chairs or all of your gear.Camping with cub scouts can be a real challenge especially when they’re still bobcats, and a luxurious tent with a good night’s sleep makes a huge difference! This is why I suggest this tent for even three.
