Coleman Evanston Screened Camping Tent, 6/8 Person Weatherproof Tent with Roomy Interior Includes Rainfly, Carry Bag, Easy Setup and Screened-In Porch

Bought this online, arrived in 2 days! First set up as usual, a pole in wrong sleeve, but that was all, easily corrected. No he would not look at the pic or instructions, after all it is just a tent! LOL The tent was wonderful, easy to set up, we never get them back in the original bags, flunked that course in scouting apparently, loved the screened porch! I agree that it would not keep much dry in the rain, however we camp where the dew is heavy and open bags stored near the actual tent entrance were perfectly dry and the tub storage near front of porch were also pretty dry. The width inside is perfect, the length, front to back could be a bit more roomy. Our queen size mattress was front to back with no extra room, if we were on perfectly flat dirt instead of rocks we think we would have gained a ft only. The door to the interior only opens on one side and therefore one of us had to crawl over the other to get outside. Will try the bed left to right next time, at least I won't get crawled over, I will let you know if this set up works better. But we did have rooom for 2 sterlite storage drawers for nightstands with storage for our personal items, flashlights etc on each side and our dog's bed and I do not think we felt cramped at all. A shortie beach type chair was perfect for removing shoes and sitting on the porch for dressing etc. He is very tall and liked the porch for dressing too. If a storm came all of our gear would have fit inside with us, that would be cramped indeed but it would fit and that is the point. The second day my SO decided I had purchased a condo, and he now laughingly refers to it as such. No it is not that big and will fit on most gravel bars and smaller campsites. The ventilation is great, but if you like to stargaze you ARE open to the overhead elements all night without the included rainfly. The opening covers approx 1/2 of the bed you will wake wet if rain or heavy dew occurs. The rainfly is designed very well and we think it would absolutely keep the rain out with windows open unless sideways rain happens, very sideways rain. In that case it would be time to go home anyway. We LOVE this tent and hope it gives us years of enjoyment. Am so looking forward to our next Current River float trip! As for returning it to it's original storage bag, we decided we would just keep it in a plastic storage tub, everything fit plus a couple of big lantern type flashlights, this will make it handy for next trip and no aggravations trying to fold, roll and stuff to fit in bag. We just put the rods, stakes and rainfly in the bag and it is in the tub too! On our second trip we were able to get the tent back into it's storage bag, and zipped too. Next trip I have purchaed diferent stakes because these jsut dont seem to like gravel much. the bed left to right was perfect! OK we had rain, and not just a little bit either, heavy winds too. A small leak near a back corner, considering it was a 3" rain not a big deal, one towel on the floor took care of the couple of cups of water. Wind, held up very well. We moved our pop up canopy over the tent opening in attempt to keep porch and its gear dry. So so luck on this due to the amount of rainfall. Now everyone else packed up and went home, we were dry and loving it. Some rain from canopy runoff caused water to come onto porch floor, but I think if some leaves or a bit of straw were centered front to back on the porch creating a high spot the water would have run out on its own to the weep holes. We loved coming and going from the tent to our canopy so much, without getting wet that we will most likely set up camp this way permanently LOL

This tent has served me well for over 13 years (bought in 2012)! From mountains, to marshes, I've taken this thing all over the United States. First and most important to me is interior size. The tent has an INCREDIBLE amount of room on the inside. You can easily fit two inflatable queen sized mattresses (not the huge ones) and room for gear inside. changing is a breeze because you can stand up nearly all the way and I'm 6'2" (188 cm). The mud room design is also HIGHLY helpful. I once brought this on a trip and fit 8 people in the mud room alone playing cards. This was PERFECT because I didn't want all their dirty shoes/bodies in the place where I slept. But kept the bugs off us. The mud room is perfect to wake up and enjoy some coffee/tea (don't burn anything in the tent!) without getting bugs all over you. While there are some VERY tiny openings at the bottom of the mud room, that bugs could technically get inside of. However, I've never had an issue with mosquitos/snakes/spiders etc. The main area has no such small openings. This isn't a tent for winter. This is easily a 3 season tent as the walls are thin, but rain fly is thick enough to repel water. One thing of concern is if you don't use the rain fly, your back side is completely exposed. There is no way to shut it. What this means is that unless you plan to ALWAYS use the rain fly, you will need to orient the back of the tent towards a private area (trees, rocks, etc). Even with the rain fly, a strong gust of wind will lift it and expose your inside of the tent; this is especially true if you don't properly stake everything down. As I mentioned earlier I've had this tent since 2012. All zippers still function, the material has held up for the most part. There are a few times the poles have poked holes in the pole holding fabric (this was mostly due to user error, not straightening out the sleeve prior to pushing). I've used it between 75 and 100 times. The only thing that broke are the poles. However, with the correct measures you can replace the poles easily. Set up and tear down is pretty straight forward. I used the instructions the first few times, but no longer have them. While you don't NEED a tarp under this tent, it can't hurt to use one. Stake down the corners and sides, then insert the poles, add the rain-fly and finally stake down the rain-fly. Set up with 2 people is roughly 10 minutes; set up with one person maybe is 15 to 20 with the right tools.

This camping tent is amazing. It’s easy to set up, very spacious, and feels sturdy even in windy weather. The materials are high-quality, and the ventilation is great — no condensation in the morning. It kept us comfortable and dry all night. A perfect choice for camping trips. Highly recommend!

アメリカンサイズなのか、5人用ですがかなり大きく、設営には広いスペースが必要です。組み立ては比較的簡単でした。たまたま途中から雨の降る日に使用しましたが、入口側に広いネットスペースがあるので内側に物が置けて便利ですが、天井側にもネットを貼った部分があるので雨が降ると内側に風雨が吹き込みびしょびしょになってしまい片付けは大変でした。雨の心配がなければ大丈夫ですが・・・・

water leaked through the tent even though the rain was light, and we wished there is some sort of cover for the screenroom/porch. the eslaticstring core of the poles is broken on the first use.

The delivery was fast and packed safely. No mis-stitched seams. All parts are there. Although the flooring was not made whole, theres an interconnection that were glued to each end (2nd pic). It looks like a manufacturing defect. I worry that rain water may seep in in the long run. I have not tried camping with this tent yet and im hoping it will not cause any trouble to us. No more issues aside from it.

Es una EXELENTE casa de campaña, caben muchas personas de manera comoda. El porche de visualizacion es amplio y muy agradable. Es facil de armar y de desarmar, to me tarde aprocimadamente 14 min. en armarla y 15 en desarmarla. La caja incluye estacas pero hay que llevar un martillo. La casa es muy amplia, la verdad más de lo que esperaba, en el medio de la casa, cabe parada una persona de 1.70m. Las centanas están muy amplias pero el problema es que la ventana de atras, esta muy grande y no tiene una cortina, hay que ponerle el toldo completo, el cual tapa todas las ventanas, menos las de enfrente de la casa, que dan al toldo(las estan en la puerta y a un lado de ella) Yo, personalmente, tube un problema y me salio defectusosa, pero la devolví a Amazon y me regresaron todo mi dinero.

Excelente
