What kind of Coleman Instant Cabin Tent is this?
This tent has all the good stuff you expect from a Coleman tent. It’s shaped like a cabin, but with slanted walls that give you more space inside. The best part? It’s super easy to set up! The frame is already attached to the tent, so you just unfold it and you’re ready to go in seconds! You can see how it works in the picture. It’s so easy, it’s on my list of the best quick setup tents.
This tent is all set to go anywhere! You can put it up on grass, concrete, sand, even rocks! It doesn’t need a big cover (that’s the “fly”), so you get amazing views out of the five big windows.
It also has this cool “dark rest” feature – see the picture below? The special material blocks out most of the sunlight, making the inside nice and dark. They say it blocks 90% of the sun! This means you can actually sleep in, even when it’s super bright outside. I liked it so much, I put it on my list of the best tents for sleeping in!
But wait, there’s more! This tent also has a really cool door – it opens and closes just like a door in your house! See the picture below? It has these strong poles around it that hold it in place. Plus, it uses Velcro to keep it closed, so you don’t have to mess with a zipper all the time. It’s so cool that I added it to my list of tents with special doors!
This tent is super tall! You can easily stand up inside, even if you’re pretty tall yourself. It has two doors to get in and out – and remember, one of them is that cool hinged door! It also has five big windows, each with screens to keep the bugs out and flaps for privacy.
Who is it intended for?
Space:
This tent says it fits ten people, but that’s a bit of a squeeze! It’s best for four or five people, like parents with a couple of kids. You could fit two queen-size beds inside comfortably.
Weather:
This tent is perfect for summer camping or trips in late spring and early fall. It has lots of mesh to keep you cool, but that also means it’s not good for cold weather.
Wind:
While it’s made to handle some wind, I wouldn’t take this tent out in a storm. It’s tall and boxy, so strong winds could be a problem.
Rain:
The tent has a small rain cover, so it’s okay for light rain, but I’d avoid using it in heavy rain. Water could leak in through the zippers.
Carrying it around:
This tent is pretty heavy and big, so it’s best for camping trips where you can drive right up to your campsite. But it’s also really quick to set up, so it’s great if you’re moving around a lot, like on a road trip.
Materials
Rooms and Doors:
This tent is actually like two rooms in one! It has a wall in the middle that you can take out if you want. And with two doors, it’s easy for everyone to get in and out. The frame is made of strong steel, which is great, but the special poles for that cool hinged door are made of a bendy material called fiberglass. All the windows have zippers, which is a nice surprise for a tent at this price. They probably added them because the rain cover is a bit small.
What it’s made of:
It’s a bit annoying, but Coleman doesn’t actually say what kind of material they used to make this tent. They just mention that it has a “WeatherTec system” to keep you dry and that the floor is welded and sealed to keep water out. Looking closely, it seems like the floor is made of a really tough, waterproof material. So you don’t have to worry about water coming up from the ground! Based on other Coleman tents, the rain cover and walls are probably made of polyester with a water-resistant coating.
Keeping cool:
With all that mesh on the ceiling and windows, you’ll always have plenty of fresh air in this tent. It’s a shame it doesn’t have any vents on the floor though, that would make it even better.
Other characteristics
- You can even plug in your electronics! There’s a special hole in the corner for an electric cable.
- It also has a handy loop at the top where you can hang a lantern.
- And you don’t have to worry about buying extra ropes or stakes (those are the things that hold the tent down) – it comes with everything you need, see the picture below?
Specifications
- Weight: It weighs about 42 pounds (19 kilograms). That’s like carrying a medium-sized dog!
- People: It says it fits 10 people, but realistically it’s best for 4 or 5.
- Floor space: The floor is 14 feet long and 10 feet wide. That’s about the size of a small bedroom.
- How tall it is: The highest point inside is 79 inches tall. That’s over 6 and a half feet, so most people can stand up straight.
- Packed up: When it’s all folded up and ready to go, it measures 42 inches long, 9 inches wide, and 9 inches tall. It’s a pretty big package!
