Why is there only 1 review for this tent? Hasn't anyone had this for a while who could review it and speak to its longevity?

We got it 6 months ago and we love it. It's easy to set up and pack too. We had rain and wind and no we didn't have problem with leaks.we recommend it.

Only had tent for about 6 weeks. On first use, one of the poles cracked when trying put up tent. Company unable to replace pole so I sent whole tent back for refund. I will say tent was completely dry after rainstorm, and tent was airtight. Had little problem with head room, a little low, but if I had the pole replaced I would still have tent!

I've had mine for a little over a year. My son and I live in it each summer. It's been up at least 90 days and nights since we bought it. We are very happy with the tent. I substitute an adjustable pole on one side of the shade canopy so it will shed water. My tent has gotten some tiny holes from tree branches, but those patched up very well.

We have taken this tent camping a few times and absolutely love it! I have tried to pay attention to the size of campsites when reserving them, but so far it has not been an issue. On our last trip the small room that sticks out from the side (making the "L" shape in the tent) was on a bit of a down hill slope, but that did not affect the stability of the rest of the tent and didn't turn out to be a problem. So far we haven't encountered any problems, but the tent would be difficult to set up on a small space that is clearly marked out (e.g. with railroad ties or some other barriers).

The first year (2013) it was difficult to install the canopy but I managed. I took it off for the winter to keep the frame from collapsing due to heavy snow as happened to the previous tent. It ripped a little in one corner during removal. The second year (2014) it ripped further in that corner. This is my 2nd tent of this type. The first tent was made slightly different and the canopy was larger and of better quality. I was able to put in on and take it off more easily than this one. I don't think you're doing anything wrong. The canopy is undersized.

This is my second Coleman tent of this design, didn't seal the seams on either one and the only leaks Ive experienced were when i didn't zip or set up properly. Check your seams, mine looked like they were covered with some type of coating.

D. Hale, I am in the same situation. However, the fly for the 6-person tent isn't available anywhere in the U.S. right now. Bass Pro shops is taking orders for the manufacturer Coleman. They didn't know it was on back order until I contacted them and pushed for a delivery time. They then did the research and gave me contact info for Coleman directly. Coleman says they didn't anticipate such high demand. I recommend placing your order now so you receive the fly as soon as it's available again in mid-June and using a tarp until then. That is what I'm doing. The only other option is returning the tent or using my smaller tent until the fly comes in.Good luck and happy camping! D. Hale, I am in the same situation.

Yes! I'm a Scout leader and have been using this tent since last Sept. and it has been a work horse. I will admit, I did not use it during the heat of this summer, but I did take it out in January. It has survived Storms that most other tents I've used would have had water flowing across the bottom. I've used it in temps as low as 26. BSA does not allow us to use heaters, so that's never been test and why we use 3 season tents in the winter.

The tent is new. I don't believe there was a warranty, but I'm not sure. All I know is that we had one big wind and the top blew off and was ripped up. Most of the poles were bent. We use ours at a clubhouse. We fixed the poles, so all we have left is the frame.

Wish I could help, mine came with the tent. In all honesty it was kind of flimsy though so no big deal if you can't find one.

Best tent ever...Easiest to put up and take down..I'm a 48 yr old woman and lived and camped in one all summer by myself. I thought it would end up being a rinky dink thing because of its ease but its GREAT> Perfect size. It did great in winds about 25...I did hook up the tie downs tho and staked them in good and tight..enjoy! (mine is orange tho?)

The tent has plenty of screens and a roof vent that works well. I would not try to sleep in it with the vent not open all of the way or it will be stuffy. I found that with the roof vent open and the screens partially open it does fine in both summer and winter. The tent handles the rain without any leaks and is a breeze to setup even by yourself. I recommend putting a tarp underneath it to protect the floor from anything that might puncture it. The tent handles the wind really well and makes camping enjoyable by not having to fight with poles coming apart. Best tent for your money in my opinion!

Shirley, It's a very easy tent to put up. I'm 51 and the only issue I have had is when first opening the tent at an event I have a hard time locking the first pin into place. I think it is because it is a new canopy and just tight. I have had this tent now for about 10 shows and it is now becoming easier. If you are using at a show, there is always someone around that can help you lock in the first leg, after that it is very easy. Tear down is just as easy. It's a very nice canopy with a denser fabric. I just waterproofed my canopy last week and was thankful this past weekend during a rain storm as I didn't have any leaks around the seams. I would definitely recommend. Lorie, J Rowe Apparel

I don't have an answer for that, those were my thoughts also. Getting a larger tent allows for more movement while working inside so that was my reason for buying along with the additional savings. This version might also be a better seller therefore they are able to discount this product to attract more buyers. Anyways this is a great piece of equipment. It's built very well and it should last for many, many years if taken care of. I think the initial weight as it arrives in it carrying case is over 70 lbs, it's a beast.

From personal experience, I can't comment one way or another because it hasn't rained while we've used the tent. From my reading of other reviews before I decided on the Coleman, it seemed as though the tent holds it's own unless your in a pretty solid rain storm without the rainfly.As a side bit of info on the 6 man tent- it's really more suited for 4. 6 would fit, but you'd be tucked in pretty tight and you'd have no space for your gear.

Go to the manufacturer's web site. There is a customer service number listed there. I called them after first emailing them about a tent pole that broke during the first time the tent was used. I have never received a response to that email. However, upon calling them, I was rewarded with friendly and efficient customer service. The replacement tent poles are on backorder and I am to receive one asap.
