Great Inexpensive tent.
I had a coleman tent of a similar design for about 7 years until the zippers gave out. This new design makes several improvements: 1. The supporting poles fit into a continuous sleeve...previously you had to thread each through two sleeves. 2. previously you had to tie the tent to the supporting poles at the top, now the continuous sleeve eliminates the ties. 3. The fly is now supported by a single pole over the top. 4. The rainfly appears more impervious to rain...as I had no drips from it in 4 or 5 days or showers.
However, all was not happiness. I was camping for several days in gentle showers. The 4 corners at the bottom where the walls meet the waterproof floor all weeped significantly. When I had a drier day, I tried to seal the seams at the corners. Another day of rain showed that I had successfully sealed the two back corners, but not the front.
Bottom line: very easy to assemble, but may need some seam sealing to keep out the rain.
This tent has serious problems
I read the previous review from Randy before buying this tent, but my father is an experienced camper and well-armed with seam sealer and waterproofing stuff, so I decided to give it a try. The price is certainly right. We sealed it up and sprayed on some of the waterproofing before leaving on our trip, and my family admired the tent. It's nice-looking and easy to set up. The one thing I didn't like is that there is no way to "close" the windows on the side--it's just the mesh. Definitely no good for colder weather!
Our first night camping in the tent was fine. It's the perfect size for two people and gear.
It rained on our second night. At first everything was fine. I sighed with relief. The seam sealer had worked! But then... drip, drip. The corners started leaking, one drip at a time...and the drips started adding up to pools in each corner. We had some plastic cups in the tent and actually propped them in the corners to catch the drips! That solved the corners, but then the (seam-sealed!) fly began to leak. Not the whole thing, just the part where there's velcro sewn in--the velcro wraps around the poles to hold the fly in place. The stitching on this area was loose and poorly done.
The corner leaks were bad, but the fly leaks were far worse. As I mentioned earlier, there is no tent material to cover the "windows;" it's just the bare mesh. So when the seams on the fly started leaking where the velcro is, those drops simply fell onto the mesh windows and into the tent. This made for a cold, wet, miserable night.
The weather cleared in the morning. In the dawn light, I saw that part of the door zipper had ripped at the seams. After two nights of light use! We barely opened the door at all, as it was raining and we were huddled inside, or seeking shelter elsewhere. We eventually had to put a tarp over the top to keep the rain out. The rip was large enough that some bugs found their way in.
I just finished filling out my return form. This is a poorly constructed and leaky tent; don't be seduced by the low price or the Coleman name.
okay tent
This tent is an okay tent for the price. Sturdy construction- held up in 40-50mph wind gusts at lake in southern Kansas! Only problem is with WINDY, rainy weather- Coleman changed how they make tents in regards to how low screen comes down on the sides of the tent- I guess they lowered it for ventilation which is good in hot, dry weather, but bad in windy, stormy weather. I will not buy another Sundome tent- will buy other Coleman products though :)
