 Enjoy sleeping in a swimming pool? Then buy this tent! Jul 01, 2005
By L. Scott
"Soaring Eagle"
This tent was a good tent in all areas except for one: leaking. Set-up and take down were simple. The airflow was excellent due to the large windows. However, it leaks terribly in the rain. Prior to going on our camping trip, I sealed the seams as directed. During a heavy two hour rainstorm, the tent leaked in four places; all of them from the seams at the bottom of the windows. Coleman claims to put all their tents through a sort of man-made hurricane test prior to selling them. This could not possibly pass that test. It's the worst tent I've ever owned and will be taking it back immediately.

 Weahters Great May 29, 2007
By Joseph L. Bainbridge
We've had ours for about 5 years. First time I set it up was in the dark, and it was raining, no problems. I've used it in the high winds of Land's End peninsula in England, no problems. Last Summer we went camping in Flagstaff, AZ. We had a major downpour that tore my brother-in-law's tent apart. That night we had more rain. I have never sealed the seams, the only water ever to get inside is the minimal condensation, and there's no way to avoid that. The only ding I have on this tent is that the loops they have to hang the room dividers break easily.

 This tent was fantastic (even during a two hour downpour!) Sep 08, 2005
By Diane Nielsen
"Happy Camper"
We borrowed this tent from someone for our very first camping
experience(to celebrate my 5oth birthday). It began pouring
rain around 10:30 p.m., and stopped about 2 a.m. My husband
and I wondered if we would wake up in the lake by morning, but
we woke up dry and staked down, and not a drop of rain was in
the tent. It has tons of room, and is tall enough for my
six foot husband to not feel claustrophobic. We are hoping
to receive one of our own for Christmas. Great ventilation, too.

 Used to love it until the tent poles snapped May 08, 2006
By C. Petraitis
"christina1780"
First, the positives:
The size is great! You can stand up in the tent. I am able to lay my air mattress down on one side, and place my suitcases on the other side, and still have walking room. The windows provide ample fresh air. It is easy for two people to put together.
Now, the reason for the low rating:
I have used this tent for three years. The last time I went camping, two of my tent poles snapped as I was taking them down. I have attempted to buy new poles from the company, and Coleman has stopped making replacement poles. They gave me a special number to call a place that specializes in making custom poles. I called there to find out that it would cost about $45 to replace 2 poles! I only paid $100 for the tent!! I have decided to purchase a new tent, since the replacement poles are half the cost of my tent...and I am skeptical as to how long the remaining poles will last!

spacious and airy Aug 09, 2008
By D. Boswell
The main reason for getting this tent was its size. We can't stand small tents, and like to be able to stand upright inside. The roof is a nice selling point, too. The entire top of the tent is screened like windows. Leaving the rain fly off is great during the day, to keep it from getting stuffy inside. At night, it's a fantastic sleeping-under-the-stars experience, without having to deal with bugs. Of course, you need to be absolutely sure it's not going to rain before leaving the fly off for an extended period of time! (It does attach very easily, though, so you can put it on in a rush if necessary.)
It comes with a little doormat too, which is nice for having a no-shoes policy inside the tent. The "walls" for the rooms are removable, which is both a good and a bad thing. You can leave it entirely open inside if you want. But when the walls are up, because of the way they attach, there is a three-inch gap between the tent wall and the room wall, which doesn't do much for privacy.
The tent itself is quite easy to put up, and doesn't take long. Overall, we're very pleased with it.
