This Family Camping Tents give to us some advantages, like this :
1. Seal the Seams
Overall, this is a nice tent.

PROS:
Expected Coleman quality construction.
The Zippers are nice, smooth, no snags, and water tight.
The tent is light, easy to pack, easy to set up, even in the dark.
The tent has a lot of ventilation to avoid internal condensation.
Fits a queen size air mattress with some room for shoes, gear, and backpacks.

You must seam seal this tent before using it in the rain. The rain-fly worked fine, and we stayed dry enough to survive the night. I bought some seam sealer and will be sealing this tent for our upcoming camping trip.

This tent is good for the price, but 'ware the rain! The moment I got the tent, I sealed all the seams thoroughly, then packed it up for a weekend trip. It rained all weekend, and at first I was quite pleased to be one of two people in the group to have a dry tent. That first night there was some condensation on the tent walls, but nothing to complain about. The second night, however, sure showed me. It didn't outright pour, but it did rain steadily all night, and I woke up during the night to find myself soaked. The seams didn't leak - the water came right through the fabric of the tent. The floor/tub remained waterproof, but the siding needs some significant waterproofing to make it through a rainy night.

Other than the rain problem, this tent performed admirably. The zippers were waterproof, despite having been packed in such a way that the flap over the door's zipper tended to stick straight out. The ventilation was good without being terribly breezy. There's plenty of...
