Hooligan 4

I've got a Coleman Hooligan with a bathtub floor. It's had no issues with NC downpours. Had rivers flowing under it with no moisture inside. Of course over got an REI Flash Air that's also handled those monsoons with no issues and that is just a standard floor. Like others have said, you have quality enough tents that this shouldn't be an issue. However a bathtub floor never hurts

Dude, I rocked a Hooligan for years. One of my favorite tents. Always kept me dry. Then one year there was a storm that swept through and put a widowmaker through my rainfly. Duct tape kept it good for the next couple of nights, but I had to get a new tent.

I feel like location may be a big factor. My troop mostly car camp. Very infrequent backpacking. I’m in Missouri and a $40 Coleman 2 or 3 person is a great starting point. If they stick with it upgrade from there.

If you are car camping then honestly Coleman is my favorite. Tarpaulin bottom, sturdy, long lasting, and inexpensive. The downside is they are heavy, which doesn't matter when car or canoe camping.  The instant cabin tents go up very easily as one person. But if you are in a really windy area then a dome would be better. 

I have an old tent I use for car camping that's big, heavy, and cheap. Backpacking gear comes with compromises, no need to suffer through that or put wear/tear on it unless you are testing new gear. Get a cheap Coleman and you won't be worried about your tissue paper backpacking tent being damaged.

I got a Coleman four person dome tent at Big 5 on sale. I can put my cot, the table with my CPAP, the battery for the CPAP and charging the phone in it. There's room for the dog in her crate in the open corner. I leave the crocs outside and have tent slippers. If it's rainy I put kitchen stuff back in the car, bring in my little chair, and sit reading in the tent. My cheap sleeping bag and a foam pad on top of the cot are enough to keep me warm. I use a blue tarp and fold excess under the edge of the tent floor so as not to draw the water underneath.

My 4-man Coleman has weathered some beatings over the past 10 years. Solid tent.
