Product Description
From the built-in lighting system, to the hinged door and Auto-Roll window design, to Coleman's WeatherTec system guaranteed to keep out wind and rain, the Coleman Elite Sundome 6 Tent is packed with features for comfort and convenience at the campsite. The tent sleeps 6 people comfortably, with a footprint of 12'x10' and a center height of 6'. The hinged door swings open and closed; it includes a rigid pole frame support structure that is easy to install and take down. An overlapping door flap helps keep out insects when closed. The integrated LED lighting system provides a bright, useful light -- enough to read by at night -- with 3 settings (High, Low, and Nightlight). Coleman's Comfort System allows control of airflow with vented Cool-Air Port/Cooler Port, privacy vent window, interior gear pocket and electrical access port. Color-coded 11mm fiberglass poles, continuous pole sleeves plus InstaClip attachments and an exclusive pin-and-ring design assure quick and easy setup even for beginners. Coleman's new Auto-Roll Window lets you instantly roll windows up, partially up to your liking, or all the way down, to suit your privacy or ventilation preference. "Negative-angle" windows allow the window to be partially or fully open during a mild rain: a primary structural pole creates an overhang to protect the window and provide ventilation and viewing during an afternoon shower or gentle nighttime rain.

I am well pleased with the quality of the tent and the ease to assemble. As with all the tent manufacturer's ratings, this tent might be rated to sleep more than two people, but if you plan to store any gear or use airbeds, two people is the magic number of occupants that can comfortably use the tent.The assembly is a piece of cake. We're in our 50's and hadn't assembled one of the newer style tents before purchasing this one. It takes about 10 minutes to assemble, once you've done it and see how things go.The canvas carry bag is nice, but there isn't any "extra" room in it. You'll have a little work folding things tight enough to get back in the bag, but it all does fit nicely once you figure out the best method. Pay attention to how everything is stored and folded when you first unpack the tent.Our first time out, we experienced severe storms with heavy rain and winds. Everything held perfectly water-tight. No leaks; no problems. The tent dried quickly in the sun in about 15 minutes. The dimensions of the storage bag allow us to easily carry this tent in our Bushtec motorcycle trailer, along with all the other necessary gear. We are well pleased.

Can't say enough good about this tent. The lighting system is great for those 3 am excursions to the nearest tree. The 'hinged' door keeps you from zipping/unzipping each and every time through the door. It is worth while to buy a dozen heavy duty steaks rather than rely on the ones included. We withstood very high winds and rain - stayed dry and tight - no issues. After a dry run - it only takes 10 minutes to set up and about 15 mins to take down. Expandable case allows for less than perfect rolling-up and storage - quick and easy. Shop around Amazon - we found this at an Amazon merchant for $158 plus shipping.

All the bells and whistles of this tent prompted a "tour" from our camping cohorts. We purchased this tent after much research, as we wanted a tent that both my husband and I can stand up in (we are both in the 6' range). This tent definitely provides that, but only at the center peak. We had a smaller Coleman, and the only issue I have with this one is that the longer poles to create the higher clearance leads to a steeper angle on the walls. The floor square footage is all sleepable if you are not on an air mattress... but add the mattress and you lose room for 6 people. My husband and I were very comfortable with just the two of us... plenty of room to store our bags and stand up to dress. Again... the angle of the side panels did take away from some of my excitement at this purchase though. The "automatic" rolling windows were nifty... but I wasn't that impressed with the hinged door. Additional weight on the side panels at an already steeper angle wasn't the best, but we did find that during frequent trips to and from the tent, it was nice to block out the flying critters by just shutting the door, versus having to zip it all up.Overall... good tent. Held up great in a wind/rainstorm, though we did seal all seams prior to our trip, and we were protected some by a tree canopy as well. Favorite camping nights are sleeping in the rain though... nothing beats the sound of raindrops on the tent!
