This is also a 3-season tent with huge windows designed for comfort, and here again, you have both good and bad sides due to this, more below.

What’s more, the ventilation of this tent is unsurpassed by almost all of the other competitors. You’ll be well-protected from wind and rain, without having to worry about a stuffy night’s sleep.
“I feel on the verge of hyperventilating,” my wife said. I know I’m out of the warranty period, but I don’t know if this tent is a lemon, or if its counterfeit, or if Coleman products are expected to have these sorts of problems. I am going to go camping again this summer, and I’d like to know if anyone has ideas whats up with this tent and if I can fix it.
The downside of this design is that the panels must be closed when it is raining. In such situations, this tent will not be a very pleasant place, you do not have mesh on the ceiling as typical for summer tents with a separate fly. Here, on vertical zippers, you have double flaps, plus Velcro tabs which keep them in place.
The poles extend and snap in place, just like it’s shown in the video. If this tent is not completely what you are looking for, just look around on this site. Check my separate list of Coleman 8 person cabin tents. But note that the fly covers mainly the roof, see the picture below, but there is some protection for the zippers as well. So it is up to you, it depends on where you are going to use this tent.
Taking down the Coleman 10-Person Tent and then packing it up takes slightly more than 5 minutes for 2 people, and about ~10 minutes on my own, excluding washing and drying, of course. After, secure the 6 s-hooks of the rainfly to the 6 loops on the base of the tent. Lastly Coleman appear to have teamed up with Realtree to market a new camouflage tent. Available in two versions the Realtree XTRA 4 looks to be exactly the same as the Standard Evanston model, the only difference been the colors.
On all windows, you have panels from inside, so they provide rain protection (the outer layer is a mesh against insects). The panels are with zippers and you have flaps from outside. The horizontal flaps are oriented so that water doesn’t get coleman sundome in. Coleman 8 Person Instant Camping Tent is a very large and tall 2-room tent for 8 people, with an express setup and an incredible price. On our camping trip, the four-person tent, which costs just $136.99, did in fact set up with ease.
Each “room” can then fit either 5 sleeping pads or sleeping bags, or 2 queen-sized beds. One room, on the left side of the tent, will have 3 windows and the hinged D-door, while the other room will have 2 windows and the other door. The mattresses that I used in this tent are slightly smaller than queen size, but almost queen sized (give or take a few inches).
I own a somewhat embarrassingly large collection of tents for camping—some from my backpacking days, while some are from when I switched to family car camping. However, I wouldn’t say that Coleman has the best instant tent mechanism, at least for this tent. Sometimes, one coleman instant tent of the elbow joints of the poles would jam and won’t prop up properly, and I’d have to fold it back up and try to prop it back up again. After about 3 hours of light rain, I noticed that no water seeped through the bathtub flooring, and it was still dry, which was great.
The Cabin has three large windows, easy access vents in the ceiling (these are accessible from inside the tent thanks to zippers in the ceiling), and two storage pockets. The only ding on the windows is that they have no ties or way to secure them once opened, so they are left to simply dangle. The walls are coleman sundome almost vertical, so this together with such a great height and huge windows gives an impression of a home comfort. The frame is like 6 spider legs, they all converge to the central point on the roof. Both the top poles and the side poles are straight, so the walls are also straight and almost vertical.
