Coleman Weatherproof Instant Tourer Unisex Outdoor Dome Tent

As a single mum I could do this tent solo.Easy up. Easy down.Do need to read the instructions everything to pack it in bag.WaterproofBig enough for 3 adults on a weekend trip / festivalNo porch area so if staying a week probably a 2 man at best.

I was looking for a tent to store things in, when I go camping in my campervan. I wanted something that could also be used to sleep in, should the need arise. I also wanted something that was easy to put up, when camping on my own. This ticks all the boxes. It's not too heavy or big, because it has lightweight poles. It's easy to put up with the brolly style poles, just fold out the tent and extend the pre installed poles and pull up!! It literally takes a moment to do. Pretty easy to take make down too, taking only a few minutes. I can't say how will it will last, but so far, I'm very happy.

Well, blimey, I think I have found my perfect forever tent :D Took 5 minutes to put up, probably even less to take down...on my own, and in windy conditions!! It was so, so simple, and required no physical strength whatsover, because of the simple snap/fold mechanism. Why can't all tents be like this? After I put it up it rained for three days solid, not a single drop came through and there was no condensation inside either, which is important to note if you're worried about it being a single skin tent. The tent fabric is very thick and canvassy, maybe that's why it performs like a double-skin.It was very roomy inside. I was looking for a tent that had enough room to stand up, and enough room for both a folding chair and my aerobed (which is a VERY wide single). In fact as it turned out I could have put even more in there, like some storage. Or a lazy greyhound friend :) I certainly think you would still have plenty of space if you put a double mattress in there. It was stand-up height in the central area for me, at 5'8, but if you're taller than that you might have to duck a little.A couple of warning points - it has a bathtub base, which is great from a performance-in-wet-weather point of view, but be careful not to trip on the raised front edge of it as you enter and leave the tent, as I did a couple of times; also, be careful to close the rain covers over the door zips when you close it, and shake drips off the door before you open it, this will stop raindrops from coming into the tent when you open the door. I also found it difficult to get back into the bag on my own, everywhere I pressed it, air pouffed into it somewhere else, lol...next time I will take 3 or 4 bungees with me to make that easier :)I will add some photos once I've been to my first festival of the season :)

Whilst this tent is larger than most of comparable size when folded, the ease of use more than makes up for it. It really does take only a minute to erect and take down.Once up, it is very sturdy. I've had mine for a while, but only used it properly in October2016 in the lake district. I had extremely varied weather: very heavy rain, strong gusty wind, cold nights as well as damp conditions and beautiful sunshine. A good test for 3 nights.Be aware that condensation can be a problem with single skin tents. This tent does have large vents at the top, and despite it being cold at night and having me and my large dog in there, condensation was no worse than some double skin tents I've owned. But it could be a problem if you don't allow some air in.The tent was certainly weather proof and as warm as any other tent I've owned.The only flaw I noticed was the little covers over the joints of the frame, which allow you to bend the poles for when you're putting the tent away. These are not waterproof, and in fact they appear to soak up water. They take far longer to dry than the rest of the tent.All in all, a good buy and taking 5 minutes to set up my pitch was wonderful, compared to the hour or so when we take the huge tent my missus insisted upon.

I have had this tent since 2018 and used for camping weekends three or four times a year, sometimes alone and sometimes with my wife and dog. It is easy to erect, very spacious for solo use and spacious for two. It will easily fit a 2 person inflatable camp bed with room for a 18inch by 18inch table and a camp chair. It has survived heavy rain without leaking and withstood strong wind, although if the door is open the poles flex alarmingly. At 6'1" I cannot quite stand upright in it, however I can move about in it comfortably. My only minor criticism is the lack of a fly mesh over the entrance. All in all I rate this tent highly.
