5.0 out of 5 stars Large and roomy, September 10, 2005

We bought this tent today and are very pleased. It took 2 people about 1/2 hour to set it up, but I'm guessing it will go faster after we've done it a couple of times. The rainfly seams are factory taped, and the tub floor is a great idea. There is enough room inside for a queen-sized air mattress on a frame. We don't have pets, but the pet area is nice for your shoes at night and for your gear, because you can get to it from the inside the tent or from the outside. The entire top of the tent under the rainfly is mesh, plus there are vents along the floor seam, so ventilation is adequate. This is a nice medium-sized tent (15'x13') for car campers who like enough space to stretch out and the ability to stand up in their tent. Some of the Swiss Gear and Columbia tents we looked at were just too big for 2 people, plus our Eddie Bauer screen house takes up a lot of room in our campsite. All in all, this was a good buy; this tent is a quality item for a good price.

ETA: We've taken this tent camping quite a few times. We stayed dry and snug in the rain. It's so nice to have lots of room for rainy day card playing. A great tent for a small family!

2.0 out of 5 stars Looks nice - especially for the price - but ripped right away, July 16, 2006

We attempted to put up this tent at home and while trying to stake it down, one of the fabric stake loops tore off of the tent. We never even got it erected. This was an important loop, as it was supposed to support two of the main tent poles. Very surprising, as previous Coleman tents I've used have never been a problem. I'd recommend trying another tent.

1.0 out of 5 stars It seems like the perfect tent, until it rains, July 17, 2006

I saw this tent and was really excited because it seemed to perfectly fit our family's needs. Then I took it camping on a weekend and got rained on. As a lifelong fan of their camping equipment, I was pretty let down. Despite all the claims that Coleman makes about this tent, including its "Keeps You Dry" Guarantee, few are true. We had large pools of water in the tent after just one rain. I wrote the company and complained, and was sent a letter that basically insulted my intelligence regarding the use of their seam sealer, which I seriously recommend you buy if you purchase this tent. Read the claims Coleman makes about this tent and you'd feel pretty comfortable taking it anywhere in any weather. Not even close. Keep looking.
