Bought this tent for a two-week camping trip to Canada for two adults and two large dogs. We put a queen-size air mattress in one end of the tent and used the other side for luggage, dressing, storing chairs, etc. Dogs slept in the middle. Very comfortable, very good ventilation. Had plenty of room and privacy. Followed the directions and it was easy to set up. Door is fantastic – so much better than regular zip doors. It rained four days of our trip — big downpours and very windy. As long as objects did not push up against the inside walls of the tent, then things stayed dry. This was the best purchase we made all summer and I can’t wait to take it out next year!

All I can say is “Wow”!

Cheaper than most family tents, but actually keeps the rain out. I’m 30 minutes north of Seattle. Just unpacked and put up the tent this morning as soon as it arrived during an hour no rain break, then it started pooring. Eight hours of rain and it’s still bone dry inside out in my backyard. I can’t believe a 450mm shell/tent can do that.

More than enough room for our whole family, me, wife, 13yr and 1yr old daughters. Two big foam beds and a play pen to boot. I searched reviews all over the net trying to find a decent family tent and hoped the reviews I read about his one were all true, and I am happy to say they are. Coleman F-N rox.

The rain fly that covers the outside of the door is part of the whole rain fly (all one piece), there is actually room for three chairs to stay dry under it (picture misleads that it is smaller). I was just out there smoking a cig thinking, America still has a few great companies left that mean well for their customers.

The floor is not cheap tub tarp, it’s decent. But, I still got two 6 x 8 cheap carpets @ lowes. Lesson learned from years of camping if you want your tent to last.

The front door is pure genius. The zippers are re-inforced and glide like butter. But, if you don’t want to add tons of wear on your zipper (and we all know a tent is useless when the door zipper breaks, unless of course it’s a coleman with this design), just don’t zip it, and let the hinge spring it lightly shut. And the factory well placed velcro hold it shut.

But wait! that’s not all! LOL.. the windows tilt at an angle so no rain gets in while you hang in the rain. I was worried about the roof being open mesh, but unbelieveably, with NO TREATMENT, NO SEAM SEAL, STRAIGHT FROM THE FACTORY !!NO LEAKS!!. Yeah I am repeating myself, I am in awe.

This tent is absolutely the best tent I have owned. I have been tent camping over the last 20 years, and this one is by far the greatest yet. It is easily set up with only two people, is very sturdy, and very roomy. It fits two full queen air mattresses with equivilant room to spare. The only complaint is that the stakes are a bit small, but that’s basically standard for most tents. The hinged door is such a nice feature. I’d highly recommend picking up a small piece of fake grass, astro turf, or carpet for right outside the door to grab the dirt, etc; from your feet before you enter. 3 uses now, and looking forward to winter camping in it as well!
