Coleman - Elite WeatherMaster Lighted Cabin Tent with Screen Room

I’ve been trying to respond but the aws outage is causing issues. Good time to be camping. The bungee cords help with minor winds to help with the snapping of the fabric in the wind but I’d say only in normal conditions. Last night nothing would have helped. It takes up the extra tension and releases it slower so it does make as much flapping noise. At least that’s the theory and it seems to work. But I wouldn’t use them on the main tie downs only minor ones where the fabric tents to move more. That might make a good experiment for someone to try with and without and measure the db level. But it seems to dampen the wind sounds.

Yeah I put the door down before we went to bed. This picture was just from the initial setup before the wind got bad. We had a Coleman weather master 6p for a few years as well. It was great but also was much harder to set up, especially in the wind. But it was a steel frame so it felt pretty solid once it was up. I feel like the anchors and tie downs are key no matter what tent you have. I spent more money on those than the cost of some of my tents from the past, but once you have those you can use them forever. I think if I was a regular down here, I’d love to get the ShiftPod but I don’t think I want to spend that much on a tent if I’m only here once a year. They look pretty sturdy as well.

I have had the Coleman Weathermaster 6 for 12 years and it has been a fantastic tent. My family is ready to move on to something a little larger but it has been great for us. It's pretty easy to setup, I can even do it solo though it's helpful to have hands. We've been poured on and stayed completely dry. The only times we've had water were due to lazy setup (guy lines weren't tight enough to hold fly completely off the top mesh and we had some water transfer). It's spacious, you can stand, the hinge door is cool and the screened area makes for great storage, or a great sitting area. Coleman is quality at a very fair price point. All that said, I have been looking at Core tents for our next cabin style tent. But you can't go wrong with Coleman.

I have a weathermaster I use for longer trips. Very roomy, the swinging door is awesome, hold up very well during storms. The only thing I don't like about it is it takes 2 people to set up.

Thank you to everyone for their suggestions!!! Greatly appreciate everyone's input. Went with a coleman 6-person cabin camping tent with enclosed weatherproof screen room from Costco. With my $65 online voucher, got it for $152 taxes in!

I see the same recommendations over and over, high dollar tents from the northface/rei/big agnes. And they are all great tents. I have about 7 tents now because i have a problem. But everytime i pack my Coleman weathermaster with the screen porch. This tent has gotten me through insane weather. 40mph winds in an open field. TORRENTIAL downpours for hours. Super hot sunny days. Everytime the poles stay strong, the floor stays dry, the walls rarely drip condensation. Tons of room, mesh porch with mesh doors, great ventilation, easy up and easy enough down. Its not the lightest, it has a few more parts than some, and it doesnt look instagram worthy or fancy. But its RELIABLE I love this tent so much that i don't care if you do buy one or not and i dont care what people think of coleman. I just think so highly of this tent for what i bought it for.

If you love the Naturehike Dune Hot Tent for the tall porch but want a smaller footprint, you can consider the Coleman WeatherMaster or Coleman Skydome with Screen Porch. Both have covered, waterproof porch areas where you can stand and take off your wet gear, and they fit 2-3 people comfortably with room for an air mattress. These are budget-friendly car camping options with easy setup and good weather protection.

I hope it 'll help you find the perfect tent for your needs!

I rock a Coleman WeatherMaster tent. Lists as a 6-person but also has a screened in porch (lol). It’s huge, can easily stand up inside. Comfortably fits a large inflatable queen air mattress for the wife & I, pack’n’play for our 1 1/2 year old daughter and our 4 year old son sleeps on a backpacking air pad. We stagger our bedtimes to put the youngest down first, keeping my 4 year old up a little later and then he’ll go to bed once she’s passed out. We’ll usually stay up for another hour or two before going to bed ourselves. I used to turn my nose up at Coleman tents but this one was $300 a few years ago and it’s been great for our family.

Family of 5 - been using a Coleman WeatherMaster for years. Has passed the test in Louisiana thunderstorms, Colorado springs and Montana falls.

I actually have the 6 person with a patio. We camped in the poconos last August in like a hurricane and everyone else was screwed and we just sat there like well… glad this works lol
