 great tent November 2, 2008
My son and his friends were looking for a tent to go camping and this was just the right tent for them. Their was a total of 6 whom slept in the tent and even with a couple of them bringing air mattress' they still had room to move around.

$83 bucks for this tent with free shipping can't be beat!
I've had it out backyard camping 3 times. It's easy to set-up and HUGE.
SET-UP. It's a breeze. Lay it out in a large spot. Run the shock-corded poles through the appropriate places on the tent. Tack it down. Toss on the rainfly. Tack it down. Camp. Despite it being big, I was able to do it by myself without much effort.
TEAR-DOWN. Very easy. Good luck getting it all back in the bag though.
NICE:
-Double zippers on door - allows you to run power cord in without large gaps for bugs to get it.
-Tub floor should prevent flooding from below.
-Plenty of room for 2 adults, 2 seven year-olds, air mattresses. If it'd fit through the door, I'd wager you could fit two regular king size mattresses in there.
ISSUES:
-Tent pegs are puny. Luckily, we had no wind. Bought some bigger pegs for less than $10.
-Little modesty without rainfly. Top of tent is mostly screen.
-Tub floor, makes it necessary to step up to get in/out. Forgetting leads to skinned knees and palms.
CONSIDERATIONS I COULDN'T EVALUATE: Cold weather performance. Rain performance. Wind performance.
I don't think you could find a better tent that's this size for under $100. Amazon has a great deal on a great tent.

This is the best tent I have ever used. It rained our whole weekend trip and it stayed completely dry inside. Also the last tent I had was 18 x 10 and this one had more room than the 18x10 one did. The ends are as wide as the middle. There were only 3 of us in the tent with a queen size air mattress for two adults and 1 twin air mattress for one kid, two suitcases, and one big army backpack and we still had alot of room. We easily could have put two queen size air mattresses in it and still had quite a bit of room left over. My husband is 6'3" and easily stood in the middle of the tent. I would definitely recommend this tent.
 Great tent for the price October 9, 2008

This is our first large tent purchase and I bought it because after reading tons of ratings on other tents, this is the one that, for the price, seemed to be as waterproof as advertised based on user ratings.
It's easier to set up than you would think. I'm a 5'7", 130-lb woman and set it up by myself. The instructions are attached to the inside of the bag next to the zipper (as they always are on Coleman tents with zipper bags). It took about 30 minutes because attaching the guylines takes a little while, as does finding spots to drive the stakes w/o hitting rocks. Once the guylines are attached, you don't have to do it again. The most frustrating part was raising the center poles by myself. They are very long and really could use 4 hands instead of 2, but after fiddling with them just right I got them up in 10 minutes or so. With 2 hands, they tend to just fall over and make S shapes instead of dome shapes due to their length vs. strength. But like I said, I got them up. The sides poles are easy. The poles are color-coded (per the instructions) with red or grey stickers, but after you set the tent up once, you can tell which poles are which w/o needing the color coding. The side poles are thinner than the center dome poles. Our poles were not red and grey like the poles in the picture on this website. They were all black.
The inside of the tent is very roomy and attractive, with some gold accents on the white areas of the tent. I like the white - it adds a very current look to the tent.
The room dividers come detatched, and attach with loops. The zipper on the only door to the tent is doing fine so far, but on all of our older Coleman D-door dome tents the zippers have eventually broken after a few years, so we'll see with this one. I'm surprised Coleman hasn't changed their door design. I also don't like how the door has a 4-inch lip in front of it that you have to step over when going in and out. I wish they'd lower the door to almost ground level. It would also make it easier to sweep out.
I also don't like the rain fly. In the picture, the fly is away from the tent all the way around, but when you set it up, there are 4 symmetrical spots where the fly touches the body of the tent. I haven't tested this tent in rain yet, but the fly should never touch the tent. We fiddled with the fly off and on for a couple of days and was never able to raise the fly off the tent in any of these 4 spots. I also think that due to the size of the tent, a rain fly should come down closer to the ground instead of stopping midway down the tent. So I hope this tent is really as waterproof as people say.
Also, the tent didn't come with the little yellow hammer advertised on the package. But that's ok, because for less than $2 you can get a rubber mallet at any major retailer in the camping section, and rubber mallets work tons better than little plastic hammers.
Make note of how they pack it, because you'll need to simulate that when packing up. Always use your tent poles to tightly roll the tent towards the door, otherwise you'll never get the bag zipped. The poles will give you a good gauge on how wide your roll should be and also help you roll tight. The instructions give you NO guidance on how to pack it back up.
You won't need a tarp. All modern tents have a bottom already made out of waterproof tarp material, and the tarp habit stems from back when they weren't, so don't bother.
Overall, for the price, if you want a large, roomy tent, this is a good deal. You can get a Coleman for the price of an Ozark Trail (which leak like a seive).
This thing is huge. Almost perfect October 7, 2008
First off, this thing is huge. I bought this for my wife and kid go go camping with me and I do not regret it. We had three cots and a toilet setup inside the tent and still could walk (I am 5'11') around in the tent.
The tent itself is easy to setup. Same foldable peg system many of the tents use nowadays. The difference is that the pegs latch onto rings so they do not get stuck. Very handy.
Its Good looking tent too. The color was nice and the front door is very large with a secondary zipper for a mesh door. Without the rainfly on the roof is all mesh to see the stars.
I did have some minor problems though. The rainfly works but it is not quiet big enough. It covers and works for light rain but I am not so sure it would work in heavy rain or windy rain.
My tent did not come with a hammer as advertised. No biggie I had a rubber mallet anyway. The big you are supposed to carry this thing around in is not big enough. Once you take it out and set it up the first time you are never getting it back in that bag. It ain't happening. Buy a tub at Wal-mart to store it.
