This Family Camping Tents give to us some advantages, like this :
1. Needs some improvement
The set up and tear down is everything they advertise. Extremely easy, but watch for finger pinching! I was amazed at how quickly the tent went up putting it up by myself. Staked down, the tent is sturdy enough even in strong winds. However, mine leaked badly during a storm-water comes in the window zippers and top flaps, and I had a couple of good sized puddles under the cot legs in the morning and a steady drip on the middle of my sleeping bag. The door zipper closes at the bottom, and I found that the bottom portion of the tent bathtub floor rolled down when the door was unzipped, causing water to roll into the tent and drip down the door from there also.
The other issue is lack of privacy-I'm a Mom who camps with Boy Scouts and I'm sometimes the only woman present. With no rainfly to mask the windows, I could not open them at all while I slept. The tent is airless and stuffy with all the windows closed. The four person model is almost the perfect size for a single person with...

A washout waiting to happen - get the rain fly
Do not buy this tent without the rain fly accessory! For some naive reason I believed the claims on the package "guaranteed to keep you dry" and didn't even see that the rain fly existed.

Out camping last weekend I experienced the joy of pouring rain whilst camping in this tent. It kept us dry... for about an hour. After that a pool of water formed in the center of the roof and then started leaking through. When I awoke (my two-year-old was screaming) I was soaked through, sitting in a significant amount of water. In the morning there was about 1/4" of water across the whole bottom of the tent.

Coleman: you should not sell this tent without the rain fly. You should not claim that this tent is waterproof. It isn't, and you obviously know it because YOU SELL A RAIN FLY for it.
