Coleman 4-Person Cabin Tent with Instant Setup Review

So this is a partial-coverage type and this allows for the large windows on the three sides. The picture below shows the other version that is without the porch but it has an awning supported by a separate pole, and two long windshields on the sides. As you see, there is the word Cabin in the name, this is a part of its official name and this is why I am using it in the title. But this tent is everything coleman sleeping bags but cabin type, and it is hard to understand why they decided to describe it that way. In fact, this is a great example of a tunnel-type tent and you can realize this from the picture below that shows the tent without the fly. Lastly, all Weathertec tents share seamless welded corners in the floor of the shelter as well as zippers protected with a cuff of water-resistant fabric to minimize seepage.

This would mean 21.6 ft² (2 m²) per person, but there is also the porch area if you choose this tent’s variant. The porch is shown in the pictures above and it adds around 1/3 of the protected space. But even the tent without the porch still has the awning and windbreakers on the sides (see the top picture above), so the screen room is partly protected. Space-wise, the dimensions are 11 x 8 ft (335 x 244 cm) and the back room has around 64 ft² (6 m²). But there is also the front screen room that adds around 2 square meters and this space is partially protected even in the tent’s version without the porch. The picture below shows the tent with fly on and the view is from the back.

Spacious, versatile, and affordable, the Copper Canyon LX 6 has all the features most families need and none of the fussy extras they don’t. ◊Pricing, selection, and availability of store clearance items are determined by each store. Items may be display models or not exactly as shown and may not be available in all stores. But the packed size (L x D) 26 x 12 inches (66 x 30 cm) is very good so you can transport it even on a bicycle. They do not provide the official numbers, but the total base is 13 x 10 ft (396 x 305 cm) and this means 130 ft² (12 m²) for the screen room and the inner tent together.

Although we liked the pricier variants well enough, generally we don’t think they’re worth the markup for the extra features. Weighing just 7 pounds (or 6 pounds 1 ounce without extras like the tent bag), the tent is light enough to double for backpacking trips, especially if you divide the pieces among hikers. There is no administration coleman sleeping bags fee charged for entering into a special payments plan. Each month during an equal payments plan you are required to pay in full by the due date that month’s equal payments plan instalment. Express Delivery is available at select stores & postal codes. Delivery cutoff times and shipping fees vary based on delivery postal code.

The Base Camp, by contrast, has four full-size aluminum struts weaved throughout it, somewhat like a basket. The Base Camp also offers superior privacy compared with our other picks—with or without the rain fly. For more options of this type, please check coleman bbq under the category Tunnel Tents, otherwise just look around this site is all about family camping tents. Check also this Coleman Trailblazer 5 Plus Tenda Tent that offers more total space in its two rooms and it has features of both dome and tunnel tents.

Coleman’s flagship weather protection system is called “Weathertec” and tents with this system are the best suited for three-season camping rain-or-shine. The second weak point of Coleman tents is typically the stitching. The same rules apply here in that you don’t want to put any more pressure or stress on the seams of your tent than is necessary.

Other dissatisfied customers struggled to take it down as easily as they set it up. Seasons-wise & climate-wise, in view of so much mesh around, this tent is best suited for warm weather camping or maximum for two seasons (late spring, summer, and early autumn). Though the windows and the inner door are indeed with panels so you can close them all to preserve warmth if it is chilly outside. But note that there is a mesh section close to the inner door. This is added to drain the rainwater and this is of importance for the tent without the porch. The picture below shows how deep the screen room is under the porch, and it is fully protected from the rain.

In addition, this cabin-style tent has excellent verticality of the walls, so you shouldn’t need to crouch if you’re anywhere but in the direct center of the tent. This will most certainly be a tight squeeze for six people, but it could more comfortably accommodate two parents and two children. If you’ll be camping during heavy downpours, be sure to bring an additional tarp to help with water resistance and prevent water from seeping through the ground cloth. Additionally, you can use a rainfly over the top of your tent to help with weather protection and to divert rain away from the cabin.

Add to that the fact that the Coleman Instant Family Tent uses the same integrated rainfly technology as the classic Coleman Instant Cabin above, and you’ve got one of the easiest pitching large tents on the market. As for drawbacks, the size and weight are the main contributors, but we’ll note a few other things here. For one, because this is essentially a “wedge” shaped tent, the walls are fairly steep, so there’s not much extra shoulder room inside the shelter.
