Perks
The tent is roomy and expansive and excellent for families and groups. While it can easily sleep seven average adults, it can sleep several more if the campers are children. The dome structure makes setup and take-down easy, and the Coleman brand insures that parts are easily replaced under warranty for 5 years. The tent's vent structure and rain fly mean that the tent breathes well in most weather.
Sacrifices
While this tent is marketed as a three-season tent, it is really most useful for warm-weather camping. The open rain fly design means the tent is vulnerable to moderate and higher winds.
Bottom Line
This is a perfectly satisfactory tent for holidays at public campsites, or as an add-on to RV camping. Its weight and size mean that it is not appropriate for backcountry camping. The weatherproofing will not hold up to harsh weather.
