The Instant Tent 6 is also lacking a couple of other features that would help it compete with several similar tents. There’s also no room divider, but this was less of a priority given the lack of entryways. Our other main issue was the lack of a vestibule, which means that in the case of a sudden rainstorm, there will be no dry area to store your wet clothes before entering the tent.
The advertised setup time is a blistering 60 seconds, and we found that this was not an exaggeration—even if you start the clock with the tent still inside its travel bag. The tent is freestanding, so any additional pegging can be accomplished at your leisure (unless wind is a factor). You’ll also want to set aside some extra time to strap on the secondary rainfly should you opt to purchase this along with the tent, but we’ll talk more about that later on. It’s also worth noting that this tent can easily be set up by only one person, something that cannot be said for several of the two-person tents in our review. Our main issue with the integrated rainfly is that we lose all ventilation (and views of the outside) when there’s risk of rain, but there is a slight solution to this.
Actually, you can fit two queen size air mattresses in the Coleman 6 person instant cabin, with some room left to store your gear. The setup process of the Coleman 6 person instant cabin tent is a DREAM compared to a traditional tent. Sleeping bags do have the coleman instant tent added benefit of being easy to tuck away in the 6 person instant tent during the day, so you have more room to walk around and socialize. There’s ample room to pitch a few folding chairs, and even room for you to walk around if you’re under 6 feet tall.
With all its windows closed, this Coleman 10-Person Instant Dark Room Tent is almost pitch black, even though there are still street lights from the outside. The back door measures about 47 by 46 inches in dimensions, and it’s about 53 inches from the floor to the top of the door. Again, because of the slant of the walls, I do also have to duck quite a bit to get in and out of the tent. This Coleman 10-Person Instant Tent has a peak height of 73.5 inches, and I can reach the top of the tent very easily by just stretching my arm out.
Everything is fine with this tent as long as you do not have long spells of rain. So if the vestibule is important, i.e., you will be using the tent in areas with a lot of rain, you might want to consider something different, like this Nemo Wagontop 6. This is a nice feature here; you have a divider that offers some privacy. The divider is with a central zipper, and you can roll it up and fix on the ceiling when you do not need it; you can do this with each of its two wings separately. It attaches to the side walls through some toggles and loops. But you have here what they describe as Weather Tec patented system which utilizes welded floors.
While this helps to lessen the time of setting the tent up, you will be solely be depending on it to protect you from the rain. The most complimented feature of this tent would be the pre-attached poles as they help to set up the tent fast. Some users also stated that they could bring the tent up alone.
If you are planning a winter camping trip, do not take this tent with you as it won’t provide enough protection for you to have an enjoyable – or safe! Therefore, we wouldn’t advise coleman instant tent taking this tent out in gusty weather. It will cope fine with a summer breeze if staked down properly though. We used a Colman instant cabin before I bought the pop up camper.
I feel that this tent can still do decently in a hot weather since there are plenty of ventilations. There is space for 2 queen sized air mattresses but some users reported that there is not enough room to move around after that. Air flows easily when all screens are not used and the windows are fully opened.
This Coleman 10-Person Instant Cabin Tent has 2 doors, one at each width of the tent. Each window comes with a small latch to tie the fabric of the windows up, so that it looks neater. To take down the Coleman 10-Person Instant Cabin Tent is the exact reverse of the set up process.
