WeatherMaster II Screened 10-Person Tent

Per recommendations on this subreddit, I’ve been looking into CORE instant tents. For your needs, you might consider the 9 person one. My family of five currently uses a 10-person Coleman weathermaster tent that is very sturdy and waterproof, but takes two people and too long to set up. I have an 8yo and 5yo twins, so we are moving towards a two-tent set up rather than all sleeping in one. I’m leaning towards the CORE 6 person instant tent for ease of set up, and then we will probably get a second one or a 4 person as the second tent. BUT the giant ten person tent fit a queen size mattress, double mattress and two pack n plays, which was clutch when our kids were little and needed that. We then put my older daughter and girl twin together on the double and added a twin size pad for my boy twin. Also big enough to hang out in when the weather isn’t top notch. So I definitely recommend a really big tent when the kids are young lol.

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.

I've had a Coleman 10p tent for around 13 years now and it's still going strong!

I have a new 10p Coleman that I just got to replace our old, similar Coleman cabin tent and I love it. The old one held up for years of abuse and I kind of just wanted to treat us to a shiny new one, the older could still be used for years to come. The one feature that I LOVE and this one doesn't have is the hinged swinging door. It's a huge game changer for kids going in and out of the tent non stop. Otherwise, I'm sure this tent is awesome and the dark tech sounds fabulous too!

I had a 10-person Coleman for about 15 years that I loved and was an amazing tent. It finally got worn out to the point I needed to replace it. This year I got 9-person Core tent that is really nice. It’s instant set-up and lighted, so pretty nice features. HOWEVER, even though we bought the footprint that is made for the tent, the floor of the tent started wearing through anywhere there was little bump on the ground the very first time we used it. It ended up leaking through those spots. I’m wishing I would’ve gone with Coleman again.

I don’t have this specific tent but a similar 10 person Coleman and it’s great for 2 adults and 2 kids, with a good amount of space between beds so we can have luggage or hang out if it’s raining. If it’s just two people it’s a really big tent but if you want a lot of extra room, it’s great. Our setup was done with 1 person and it went up in about 15 mins.
