Two large doors make for easy entry in the front and back. When the fun’s done, the frame folds down for compact storage. The Coleman RoadTrip 285 Portable Stand-Up Propane Grill is the perfect campsite grilling companion.
The poles also use a pin setup instead of the grommet setup seen on all the other tents in our lineup. Once the poles are on, it’s time to move on to the fly. However, you can’t put the fly on without fully staking the entire tent first. But because Coleman uses cheap elastic straps that clip to rings attached next to the poles, it is very hard to clip everything when under tension.
Storage is a problem with this tent, however, because it only comes with two pockets but because the vestibule isn’t properly protected from the rain. A pile of wet gear does not make for happy campers. Likewise, should your family be stuck in the tent during a storm, there is no way to cook unless you do so completely inside the tent, which is never a good idea. The tent took our team 14 minutes and 20 seconds to pitch fully — much longer than the majority of our other tents and with much more frustration. First, the cheap fiberglass poles get snagged when pushing them into the sleeves.

Not only does this make things awkward, it is impossible to inflate or deflate your beds anywhere but inside the tent. They added windows on each side because the door only opens halfway, coleman screen tent which places a large seam right down the middle. We should also point out that there are no clips or ties to tuck them away when the windows are open, so they just dangle in the wind.
But you have guylines and stakes to secure it against winds, so do not miss doing this. This shape you can see also in this unique Gazelle coleman canopy Tents G6 Pop-Up Portable 6-Sided Hub Gazebo/Screen Tent. I think my takeaway is that this is a sturdy, easy, and convenient shelter.
