WeatherMaster® 6-Person Tent with Screen Room

I have an old Coleman 6x9 dome tent I use in cold weather. It's all mesh on top but the fly extends down past the mesh. In cold weather I tuck the fly under the sides. Condensation collects on the bottom of the fly and trickles down below the mesh outside of the tent. Restricting the airflow adds about 10°. Coldest I've used it is 22°.

I’ve had Coleman’s all my life and don’t have issues with them. My current is a Weather Storm (I think) from 2017 and we camp 4-5 times a year with the dog and it’s holding up good. If you’re car camping with the family Coleman is a great choice.

We have the Coleman Weathermaster 8 which is nice and tall. No vestibule as it has 2 rooms, but the 6 seems about identical but with a screened in porch. Of all of our tents this is the family favorite.

We are rather fond of our Coleman Weathermaster 8. It has two rooms and an actual door. It comes in a 6 with what appears to be the same footprint but one side is a screened porch. Any of these types of tents you basically halve that number as they don’t account for gear and except you to be squished in shoulder to shoulder. Cots are nice as they give you space under for storage. The Weathermaster probably isn’t easy to set up by one person though, I’ve never tried. Looking for cheaper tents I’ll always choose Coleman though. I had an exceptional warranty ordeal with them where I had broken a pole and wanted to buy a new one as it was no longer under warranty. They sent me a whole new tent!!

Customer service/warranty has been phenomenal with Big Agnes (Copper Spur) for backpacking tents and Coleman (Weathermaster) for car camping tents.

Coleman Weathermaster. Of the several tents we own this is the one we use by far the most. I don’t know that one person can set it up though, never tried.

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.
