We reserve the right to limit, or refuse returns without a receipt. Not much to say here — this is an instant setup tent, after all. Once out of the bag, simply lift each side of the tent until you hear a “click,” and you’re done. The hardest coleman cabin tent part of the setup is putting the stakes and guyline in. You could give this tent a knock for its weight, coming in at 18.2 lbs, and a ding for the bag size — packing this one back up did take a little extra smushing, but it wasn’t too bad.
We have many more options under the category 4 Person Tents so have a look. Check their another tent which they launched recently, the Coleman 4-Person Dark Room Skydome Camping Tent or perhaps this coleman tents Sierra Designs Nomad 4 Person Tent that is also new on the market. Weight-wise, with its 23 lb (10.4 kg) this is a heavy structure, and as mentioned above this is not to be carried anywhere.
The hydrostatic head ratings on both brands’ tents are not the highest, I think easily less than 1,000 millimeters, so the fabric will also start leaking after an hour of heavy rain. What’s more, the carrying bag split open the first time I zipped it shut and, from the looks of it, won’t last more than two or three camping trips before it needs to be replaced. It had a ton of great online coleman bbq reviews and video bloggers hailed it as one of the best family tents for the price. We loved the thoughtful design features of this tent by Kansas-based company Core, including electrical cord access, a lantern hook, a gear loft, and a huge wall organizer. This tent includes a place for everything, so you’ll never be left scrambling to find your cell phone, headlamp, or wallet.
The main tent body has a giant front door that’s oriented to make entry and exit easy for all the tent’s occupants at night, and a smaller back window that doubles as a second door. The Wawona 6 is more complex to set up than a classic dome-style tent like the Wireless 6, but not by much. We recommend doing it with two people, but one person can manage in about 15 minutes. As with any free-standing tent, with this one you stake out the four corners, and then you feed the two main tent poles through the Wawona’s fabric sleeves, which go halfway down the tent’s body. The North Face’s color-coded poles make this process easy to navigate. (We were stubborn and didn’t look at the instructions.) Once you identify the front and back, the process is straightforward.
After setup, we assessed the size of each tent by inflating two camping pads that, when pushed together, create a queen-sized mattress. Most car campers want comfort, so if we couldn’t fit a queen-size mattress in the tent, it lost a point. If it wasn’t able to fit four sleeping bags side-by-side, it was docked further.
