Coleman WeatherMaster Six to Seven-Person Cabin Tent

I got this tent to replace a stolen dome tent that I used for a long time. I saw a friend who had a cabin tent and really liked the straight sides. Although this tent has about the same footprint as my old tent it seems much more spacious. I love the door that hinges open and it is easy to walk around inside, unlike a dome tent that you usually can only stand in the center. The drawback is that unlike a dome tent, you must always use stakes all the way around and if there is any wind you need to stake the lines from the rainfly as well. It really helps stabilize the whole thing. My first outing in it had wind, rain and even hail! A few drops of water came in around the corners, but I have yet to have a truly waterproof tent (and I have had a quite a few tents!!). If I were going somewhere where I knew the weather would be severe, I would take my smaller dome tent, but this held up pretty well for a short term storm situation. You can set this up by yourself (I did it) but it was pretty tough and I've set up a lot of tents. In general having two is fairly necessary and a few more makes it a snap. All in all I'm very pleased with it.

We got this tent to replace a very old and leaky tent since we now have a son who is 3. We wanted to ensure a dry and happy camping experience with him so we selected this tent. I think the nicest thing we can say about this is Amazon expedited its return efficiently.
It appears this made-in-china tent did not pass through the waterproofing process. We had 2 hours of very light, almost mist-like rain. All 4 corners leaked and when I entered the tent, water was coming straight through the walls and running to the floor-I honestly have never seen such a poor product and we are disappointed that Coleman quality has sunk so low. We will NOT buy another Coleman tent. My wife now is very reluctant to go camping and my son doesn't understand why camping beds are like sponges...

This is a great tent that you can walk around in, about 7ft in the middle 5 ft on the sides. It is a heavy/solid family car camping tent. Just keep in mind that you are sacrificing the portability and speed of setup with dome tents for the size of this one.

I was surprised at how easy it was to set up given it's size. Definitely not for packing but perfect for car camping for an extended amount of time. We fit a queen aero bed next to a twin blowup bed along the short side and had plenty of room for three suitcases and a little table as well as room to move. It was great to be able to stand up fully to get dressed. The only problem was a slight tear in one corner probably due to the force of a wind storm our fist night. This is also a summer tent with an almost entirely mesh roof.

This is a great tent. Love the hinged door. Easy to assemble, the first time I set it up by myself and it was a breeze. Lots of floor space and plenty of stand up room all the way around not just in the center like my dome tent.
