    Just got home from a camping using this coleman tent. I like it! It does spinkled during the night of our camping but it was comfortable still. I was watching videos bc there is additional item in there I dont know exactly what's the use. But we built it correctly.
    Excited to use it again on our next camp out. Will buy a queen size inflatable bed next time for sure. That was the only issue I had during our camping. The twin size bed wasnt enough for me and my partner.

    Nice review of this tent. I did buy the 6-person SkyDome darkroom and it's amazing on the inside and to sleep in with some LED lighting . Super roomy and I can easily stand up and move around. I'm 5'9.
    It works perfect for me because no matter what tent I have, I carefully plan to not camp with any chance of rain in the forecast lol. So if it would leak I don't even care.
    I took it out for the first time to try it on Saturday. It was a cold night around 40°so I didn't put the pole in on the front of the rainfly to avoid any additional draft getting into the tent plus I ran an electric heater.
    Hoping to see a review of the six-person dark room skydome in the future. Thanks for another great video ! 😁

      No problem. Your content makes me come back for more. I sent the 6p back because of the sealant issue. It rained lightly where I was, but it still managed to get through the tent. Also, I had the dark room version and there was an issue with the level of darkness. I expected it to be much darker than it was. Another thing for me was the only window being the door. It meant that I had to remove the rainfly to see around me. I didn’t mind the pole attachments as much, but packing it up, I had the same issue as you did, but it wasn’t too bad. Maybe I need to try another brand? 🤷🏾‍♂️

    • @CampingGuidance
      @CampingGuidance  Рік тому

      @@romulus7495 Thank you so much for sharing Romulus! Ah I see. In that case I think the Sundome 6P would be a much better fit for you. It has a little more rainfly protection, and 2 windows instead of 1. But if you expect heavy rains you still have to seal the seams yourself. It beats me why Coleman doesn't seal their seams, it's so strange!! And maybe your dark room feature was defective? I had the same problem with the Carlsbad haha. But the rest of my dark room tents were great. Hmm I think if you're looking for a budget tent, Coleman is a great pick. But the quality isn't the best or top of the line or anything sadly!

    I have had a Coleman tent for roughly over 15 years now and still looks like the day I bought it. They are made with good quality for the price. Mind you, you still should apply a waterproofing/UV protection on the fabric every 2-3 years. I found that with other name brand tents that the waterproofing products don't function so well; however, they work great on Coleman. My Coleman has been out in the rain for hours in Canadian weather without a drop seeping inside of it. Mind you, maybe they are making them cheaper nowadays?

  • @ChrisFreyer
    @ChrisFreyer Рік тому +1

    As a 15+ year user of Coleman tents, I can say that the floors in Coleman tents are top notch. Unfortunately, the fly setup needs improvement. The fly hangs down only a few inches longer than the mesh on the side of the tent. This creates several problems. First, when the wind blows, you get wind-blown rain inside your tent, and there's nothing you can do about it. You can adjust how close the stakes are to the edge of the tent, but that still won't prevent rain from getting in. Second, if you don't stake your fly out (which you might not if the sky looks clear when you go to sleep), then the fly might leave a bit of mesh exposed to the elements. If it starts raining while you're sleeping, all the water that runs down the side of the fly will run right into your tent. Third, and this should be obvious by now: you MUST stake down your rain fly. It's only held on the corners with bungee cords. As those age and don't hold as tight, the wind WILL move your rain fly, leaving you with places where you are exposed. (Possibly embarrassing while you're getting dressed).
    As much as I love the bang-for-the-buck of the Sundome tents, the fly is problematic when camping in rainy or windy conditions. And it's been that way on this model for at least 10 years.

      @@Eglantine9Lunar No worries Allie! Feel free to ask any question and I'll do my best to help 😊 Hmm for me personally, I don't usually camp in strong winds, so I just stake down the fly as close to the tent as possible when it's raining, and that works for me. And yes you can also set up a tarp overhead in an A frame to give you much better rain and wind protection 😊

    If you leave the rain fly off can you start gaze through the net? Not sure if there’s any obstructions that I can’t see

      Yes there's quite a bit of mesh up top! I think I should have a shot of it in the Ventilation test, let me know if I didn't put it in!

      Hey Luis! For a couple and 2 kids, I'd recommend a 6-person tent. My fav is the Wawona, but I can provide you with a better recommendation if you can let me know your budget and what you want in a tent! 😁

    Great review !
    I just can't get my head around why Coleman would design a tent with a rain fly that's too short. Am i missing something ?

    • @CampingGuidance
      @CampingGuidance  2 місяці тому

      Haha I have no idea why also! I suspect their rain tests may not be as heavy as the one I put the Skydome through, that's why. But they did come up with a full fly version, if you're interested in getting it! It should have better protection for sure.

      Hi Luna! Thanks for the question! I think I used quite a few in this video. The green double pad is the Exped MegaMat Duo 10, the blue double pad is the Klymit Double V Uninsulated, and the blue queen mattress is the Alps Mountaineering Vertex Airbed. I've reviews of all this on my channel 😊 And I bought them all from Amazon! I hope this helps! 😊

    • @CampingGuidance
      @CampingGuidance  11 місяців тому

      Hi Jane! Hmm this isn't the Sundome, it's an 'updated' version of Coleman's Sundome and it's called the Skydome, but honestly I prefer the Sundome haha. Where do you normally get your tents from? I still see lots of different options for Sundomes on Amazon. Let me know and I'll do my best to help you out! 😊

Maybe I'll get to test it out one day in the future 😊

    What I come to realize is you half the number of people the manufacturer says. So 4 person tents are good for 2 or 3 people comfortably. A 10 is good for 5 people.

    • @CampingGuidance
      @CampingGuidance  6 місяців тому

      That's definitely the way to go if you like lots of space! I've even used 6-person tents with just 2 people - 2 queen beds, 1 person on each 😆 I think ultimately it depends on your space preference!

    Sounded great until the water was inside the tent. All those extra features are nice but if it can't keep you dry it's useless in my opinion.
