Coleman has been making good-quality camping products for many, many years. They've never been super-premium, but their stuff can usually be counted on to provide decades of service.

[@foxcm2000]

I tend to do poles before staking because sometimes the corners aren't staked just right and then the poles don't want to work.

[@MJintheUSA]

I do the same, I think it makes the set-up easier.

[@davidkendall3907]

The trick is to loosely stake the corners at first. This keeps the tent from blowing away while you're setting it up. After getting the poles in, you then go around and adjust the stakes to set the correct tension.

[@TheOutdoorGearReview]

@@davidkendall3907 I agree with David, stake lightly, setup the tent and then make final adjustments at the end; different strokes for different folks though. - Luke

[@joanietravel9125]

I had a larger stand up height, Eureka tent; like this 30 yrs ago. It was an awesome tent; with 2 person setup. Solo today so I just bought the 4 person 60 sec cabin & set it up by myself as a trial run. At 65 yrs old, it was a piece of cake. It holds up well in rain & wind too with no leaks. Love the coleman cabin!

[@suezaple4950]

Never had an issue with mine loved it . It was a three day steady heavy rain, and a day of light rain mine never leaked . slept three with gear comfortably. My fly comes down 1/2 way all the way around the tent, was easy to set up. Ontario Canada.

[@CampingwithSamBananas]

This is one of my first tents and I took out solo for three nights in KY. Had about 14 hours of non stop, medium intensity rain and it did hold up for me personally. Excited to see your test night, Luke.

[@opopopop6286]

I have big one of these, I think it's a 4 person. Someone threw it away in perfect shape. So I will pull it out and place it somewhere soon and seam seal it properly all over. Then I will keep my 1-2 person ultra light for packing...gotta wait for a nice sunny day of coarse...so the seals take. My ultralight I could just do in my bach apt. with all the fans on and the doors open.

Last week I just purchased this tent only difference is mine has a screened in porch area big enough for a regular sized lawn chairs do I set it up with out any difficulty mine is 9’X 7’ I did not read the instructions I looked at it and remembered watching your instructions video and I just put it together so far in my use of this tent no water issues I’ll keep you posted and I am satisfied with my Coleman tents S&H keep them videos coming god speed thanks Luke for all you and Susie do ❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🌈🌈🌈

[@EricDIY]

I've owned the 6 person Sundome for 4 years. It's a fine tent for casual camping with my son. I replaced the stakes immediately with some quality harbor freight ones for $3.99/set. I did waterproof it last year but it has not leaked hardly at all (at the beach, we had the humidity come through the side wall which is why I waterproofed it after). The guy lines dried out and I had to replace them this year with some better ones. Overall, not a bad tent. I reviewed it when we first got it on my KZbin channel as well. Appreciate it for glamping in the yard or actual camping. It took winds great as well as probably the worst thunderstorm we have had in years up here in the Northeast last week camping. I wouldn't hesitate to buy another.

[@JamesCrackethCorn]

Maybe I do it wrong, but I always put the poles in first. It's almost impossible to stake the tent out perfect, then putting the poles in leaves wrinkles and weird spots in the fabric. I feel like I need the poles first to stretch out the fabric to its proper shape - THEN stake the tent down. After all, the stakes are only meant to keep the tent on the ground in wind. The poles keep the shape.

[@WardenWolf]

If you don't stake out a dome tent first, there won't be enough tension on the floor and it will allow wind under the tent. This is how you get flyaway tents.

[@DL-ij7tf]

I stake my Coleman dome tent after putting the poles in, never had a wind problem but I guess I could see it happening. I put the poles up then go around to each corner and pull it out until it starts to drag the tent a little, to make it as taut as I can. Having two people pull diagonally definitely helps. I don't use the cheap wire L shaped stakes, I use the (also cheap) Coughlan orange 3-winged style that secure much better.

[@TheTechofTech]

I was going to post the same thing. Build the tent first, then tightly stake. Reverse to break down. You can much more easily manipulate the fabric of the tent around the poles. Been doing this for at least 30 years, ever since getting my first freestanding tent. Never had an issue getting proper floor tension.

[@michaelhernandez410]

I've spent most of the last year on my back- Chemo, radiation, biopsies, renal failure and surgery. I'm not as flexible as I was a year ago. I bought the Coleman to use while recovering my strength. Just spent the night car camping ( something my doctors said would never happen). This tent kept me dry during a heavy 2-hour rainstorm last night. Perfect for car camping.

[@davidcoakley4839]

I loved my Coleman 2p Dome Tent, until it was stolen while I was out hiking, some people just have no class. Anyway I doubled down and bought the 4p version. Using a tarp is a good idea, mine is larger than the tent base and I have put grommets at the stake points, so the tent underside is completely protected and when I vacate the site, I just stuff the tarp in wet bag. Enjoying your videos, keep up the good work!

[@YouLookinAtMe-Bro]

I was thinking about doing the same, but silly question... How do you stake the tent into the ground if your tarp goes beyond the corners?

[@davidcoakley4839]

I picked up a General Grommet kit from Home Depot and then placed the tent on the tarp, marking out the locations of stake down rings. The kit comes with a hole punch, brass grommets and a wood block, it was fairly easy to use. I ended up putting two grommets adjacent to each other at each corner, for a total of eight holes, inserting the peg through one grommet/hole and bringing the curved head of the peg through the other, so that it doesn't tear up the tarp. Hope that helps!

[@user-ro1cp7bu4y]

Here in Washington State you NEVER purchase a tent with a small "umbrella" for a rain fly. They are next to useless. A proper fly should always cover the entirety of the tent body.

[@opopopop6286]

Yeah, that is what I did this time...yet those coleman tents CAN be nice also, gotta seam seal em proper though, they are really just 2-3 season tents...this time I went with a Eureka Midori 1 with foot, says it's only a 3 season, yet I think I could pull 4 out of it if I wish.

[@TopsailOutdoorAdventures]

Same here on the NC coast. The constant high winds and blowing rain would wet the inside and likely peal off the rain fly.

[@motolifealways]

@@TopsailOutdoorAdventures I agree with that! From Raleigh NC

[@SpecJack15]

Would an Alps Mountaineering Lynx 2 tent be suitable for Fall camping in WA?

[@fartman10284]

It’s an affordable car camping tent. That’s their target audience

[@MetatronsCube23]

I have a grey and orange version from 2012, best 30$ tent ever. Lived in it for a year, including snow. As long as you dont puncture the floor it can sit in several inches of water, I was in it when it happened a few times.

[@OtherThanIntendedPurpose]

I have set up hundreds of tents in my life, and this is on the very easy end in my experience. for those who haven not had a lot of practice, or experience this was a very well done video.

[@Dusther210]

I’ve seen others commenting this as well but I always do poles first then stake because I like making things easier for myself. Also ground covers make life SO MUCH better with a ground tent. I had an older version of this tent from the early 2000s. COLEMAN stuff just works, always reliable. Not too much and not over priced.

[@salsanacho]

Coleman's are a terrific entry level car camping tent. Huge variety of styles, affordable price point, and they generally do as advertised. Great for folks dipping their feet into the world of camping, and they'll last until you decide if camping is something you want to do more often or not.

[@OfficerLarryNMSE]

I've owned a couple of Coleman's in the past and have always been happy with them. The last time that I used one was in the back of my GMC for a Parking Lot Concert. It kept the bugs and the rain out. I'd buy another one if I needed to...⛺🙂⛺🙂⛺

[@elvismikel2271]

Basically an updated version of the Rosewood that I've had for 15 years. Good, solid, family car-camping/back yard tent.

[@C-Henry]

I just had my old Sundome tent out in the back yard for a week while testing our new Columbia tent just to see how it would do, while I had hit both fly's with some waterproofing I was still impressed with how well the old tent did. Both finished the week completely dry inside despite heavy downpours (minus some drips from opening the doors), and the Coleman even survived being uprooted by the wind and tossed around (my fault for not staking it down well enough). It set the bar pretty high in my opinion, hope the new one is of the same quality.

[@glenray7464]

I got that tent 2 years ago so far so good. I have yet to be in a heavy rain event with it . But I been in heavy winds with it. If door is faceing wind it has a good cross ventlation .so it hot and light wind is great. But if is cold or high winds its not so great. I think rain could blow in from faceing the wind.most of the time i try to set it up so the pervailng winds are at the sides of the tent.

[@BRP42]

Set up isn’t bad and one person can definitely set it up, if you do it like this. We’ve had this tent for a few years. The corner clips aren’t great though. We had a couple of them break (the black straps referred to here). I agree that the sleeves do get stuck! Thanks for your review. I would say that the bag is terrible, and you should get a duffle to carry it in.

[@ii1825]

It's a Christmas miracle!! An "experienced" youtuber has finally positioned the ground cloth correctly! Notice how it does not stick out 6 inches from the tent. i knew you could do it. Good job Luke.

[@sassynomad5804]

I apologize if someone has already mentioned this, I question the stakes that come with the tent. I've had ones like those before and they tend to bend when putting them in the ground. I'm thinking sturdy stakes? Also, the color I actually like. It's something different from the bright neon colored ones I saw so much of when I was camping out West. Thanks Luke and Susie for all the useful information you all provide in your videos. Many blessings and stay safe.

[@rebeccagangi4228]

As a camper & on recent trip saw this tent probably 5 different sites at the State Park we were in so I’d say it’s popular

[@DL-ij7tf]

I just used my 6 person version of this tent last weekend, very nice under calm conditions anyway - we didn't even stake it down or out the rain fly on as it was hot and dry (and we were in the woods - no wind)

[@opopopop6286]

exactly, i have the 5 person version (older one called sunrise) and I used to use the 1 person version of this for years...half the time I would skip the stakes, just too much hassle, and my body weight kept the thing down fine anyways.

[@DL-ij7tf]

@@opopopop6286 Yeah, my wife and I use the tent for what I feel like is it's ideal purpose - inexpensive family car camping. We have some good North Face and Marmot backpacking tents but with dogs and a baby it's nice to have a huge inexpensive tent. With a Pack n Play, dogs, all the gear and whatnot it isn't going anywhere.

[@Robert-cd2ht]

An interesting casual tent but do we really need a weather test on this one? Let's find out.

[@opopopop6286]

absolutely, they will usually leak MINOR unless you seam seal them...and they will often leak after prolonged use ESPECIALLY if you forget the seam sealing. I always found it a super necessary step for my 1 person colemans, yet out of the box they could still at least keep 99% of the weather out, and the fly on them is one of their weaker features...also the condensation was insane, yet I am sure on this improved sunrise will be vastly better.

[@EpwnaExeter]

How big is the cord port opening? It seems like a perfect space for mice and squirrels to enter the tent

[@EricDIY]

It has a zipper that you "snug" up on the cord or seal up entirely if you're not using the e-port. I find it really useful with my solar panel kit

[@JimKernix]

I missed part 1 and I'm making this moment before I know what you are going to say. It's been 1.5 years since I used it but I don't remember too much difficulty with it.

I just ordered one of these "used" at Amazon for just $30. Bought a bottle of Coleman's seam sealer for $6. Free shipping. Supposed to be delivered today so with our nice 60 degree TX weather I should be able to take it out next week and try it out. Update: I got the "used" tent & unpacked it and is like new. All the parts are there, though I haven't spread it out and looked over every inch. I imagine it may have had a leak somewhere so I had bought the seam sealer to go with it. And of course duct tape makes for easy patching if there is a hole somewhere. Plus that put me over the $35 requirement for free shipping. Lol. Hopefully I will get out in the net week or so to try it out. I used a Eureka 2 man dome for about 20 years with dozens of trips. If this works a couple of years I'll be happy.

I have the old Malboro version of this tent. It doesn't have the small pull out vent on the lower back and it doesn't have any steak out lines. It's basically like the dome tents we had in the late 1970s early 1980s. I've had this tent since the early 1990s. All I've had to do to it was get the spray water proofing from Walmart with the orange cap. Every 2 to 4 years I spray it down with 2 cans. One inside and one outside. I looked on KZbin and made the so called seam seller out of GW 100% silicone and mineral spirits and painted it on the seams. But before that I used regular seam sealer. I only had to do that once. Many years ago. This tent has yet to fail me. It stays dry inside. No complaints. But it is old. May have to get a new one soon. I just don't like the steak out cords. I hate tripping at nite when nature calls.LOL. . Other than water proofing it and patching a small tear in the netting on top of tent. My fault. It's been a really good tent for the past 2 1/2 to 3 decades. No complaints

I like the colors and looks easy to set up. The big test will it leak? If it doesn't leak i will be shocked and i will actually buy one . Have my doubts on being waterproof. It may stay dry during a light rain , but most coleman tents can't handle moderate to heavy rain for a long period of time. If you seam seal and waterproof it yourself, it may hold up better. Hope i am wrong and it preforms flawlessly, because it is budget friendly.

I really enjoy your videos, I do like the Colman Sundome tents I do use my 2 man tent for storage so i have more room in my 6 man tent. One thing I do not look like about all tents is the what i call universal tent stakes they do not work vary well were I live here in Florida because there is a lot of sandy soil. They just don't work well so i have to up grade my tent stakes and toss the original tent stakes. Just a note i said a lot of sandy soil I am referring to primitive tent camping if you go to a camp site that has power and water the campsite has packed dirt with grass and the standard tent stakes will work but I like to upgrade my tent stakes to hold better anyway because you can have evening thunderstorms that may have high winds and you don't want your tent stakes to pull up and have your tent become a kite lol.

I don't mind the colors since they are subdued. I do not always have to have green tarps or tents. The way the parts fit and fasten together and work with each other leaves me hopeful that this will work in a gusty wind. The rainfly reminds me of using a kerchief to turn the rain rather than wearing a raincoat. We shall see!

sorry to bother you my family and i went to camping two days ago , we install the two tents as directions but in the night the inside of the tents was as cold as the outside i wonder where I was wrong please advise

[@daspencer4537]

Is there still going to be a test night? Thanks!

[@claramullen]

Luke you should put the pole in the rain fly first then attach the velcro to the tent poles

[@jasonjavelin]

Pretty sure I have the suuuupeer old version on this same tent and have used it for years. I want to upgrade to a Kelty but just haven’t gotten around to it

Have you ever reviewed products for River Country?

[@karengriswold4537]
