I recently tried car camping, two weeks sleeping in a Subaru Forester convinced me I would be happier in more spacious accommodations. I had admired the tent set ups of some of my neighbors, all that space, standing headroom, indoor potty! My 2 person tent suddenly lost its charm, it made a nice little camping shed/pantry, but as an alternate living space…I could do better.

I liked the looks of this tent, the Coleman reputation, the decadence of having all this just for me! I had a friend help me set it up to do a quality check, took us about 15 minutes, there are a few technique issues to figure out. I feel confident I can set this up myself, going to use a clamp or strap as a stand in for a helper, there is a ‘hold that’ spot where a third hand was a big help.
Love the built in poles, the color coded fasteners for the rain fly, the expandable storage bag, and that roomy interior! It was very easy to fold back up and rebag, just pay attention when you unfold it, reverse the process. Now all I need is a camping trip to give it a good and proper try out. Come on springtime!!

Used it to hold down Christmas trees on beach where we get a lot of wind. Went in easy with the drill connection and held strong

A bit heavy but strong and warm

It’s short so you have to duck to get in, it blows over even in mild winds.
Not convenient or easy.
