Coleman Montana 8-Person Family Tent with Rainfly, Weatherproof Family Tent Sets Up in 15 Mins, Fits Multiple Airbeds

I LOVE THIS TENT! It’s sooooo big it feels like glamping haha the top is removable to let the air in and perfect for night sky gazing. I think it’s durable and was a good price when I bought it. It wasn’t too difficult to set up although it would help with two people it’s def doable with one. The whole case also wasn’t heavy once it’s all packed up, and we got it all back into the original case when we were done camping too! It fit a full size thick thick air mattress and a twin size air mattress, we also had room in the middle for a small makeshift table. It was perfect for camping and we can’t wait to use it again soon! I wish I had a better pic but I was busy living it up in the wilderness haha you understand!

This item is exactly as described, for those writing reviews that it wasn't authentic Coleman make sure you are ordering from a legit seller on Amazon. The one I got is definitely authentic as I've seen a few other tents that people bought at other stores and it matches up exactly.The first time putting it up took us awhile, maybe 30-40 minutes with two adults a teenager and a kid. It would have probably gone faster but the only one of us who had ever set up a tent was myself who was told to stand back and read them the instructions. The three of them insisted they wanted to learn how to set it up and take it down on their own. So I read them instructions and showed them parts and held onto things as needed and the three of them got it up just fine. They didn't feel that it was too hard and feel that in the future with more practice they will get it up faster and easier each time. Also take down was quicker, and this time since it was just a reverse of before I wasn't even needed there for instructions. They had me sit back while they took it down, again so that they could learn. I also challenged them to get EVERYTHING that came out of the main bag to go back into the main bag. And snap if they weren't able to do it! It did slow them down because they had to slow down and make sure they were getting air pushed out of it to get it rolled up as tight as possible. I don't know that on every occasion it will fit back into the bag but, hey challenge accepted this time and they did do it!We didn't have any rain, dew or moisture as it was a hot California Indian summer...yeah it is October and that day temps were in the low 90's! Yikes! That meant at night we were able to leave the windows open for a nice breeze and most of the night we slept on our sleeping bags with nothing, or a light blanket in the early morning cooler hours. So that means I can't say how good it does against rain, but in the future when I find out I will update this review.It was calm all afternoon and evening, but early morning while we were asleep the wind started to blow. You could hear it howling and it was going fast and hard out there...rattled our tent but everything stayed secured. Even our rainfly, which surprised us we expected it to blow towards the side we secured it on and possibly to the ground. We only secured it with the hooks that go near the poles and velcro, only using the guylines on the front to help support the entry way. We did not secure any guylines on the sides or back. The winds were strong enough to knock over our chairs and stuff off the table, so it wasn't just a light breeze! Woke my son up and startled him a bit.The one thing that I did notice that matched up with other reviews is on the door. It was hard to get the pole in, you have to do it in the right order or you risk tearing the tent...I thought my hubby was going to, it was close! However it didn't, he pulled things back apart tried again in a different order and they all went in easily. Also we mostly used the zipper to keep the door closed because velcro didn't line up 100% or if it did fabric would get in the way. You had to slid your finger along to keep the fabric out of the way and wiggle the door around to get the velcro to line up. It was doable, but it seemed to take just as long as zipping it. One piece lined up well so if you trusted that one piece to secure and keep bugs out then you were okay. We were worried because we had a high number of flies in our area sow e wanted to keep them out completely and felt the zipper did a better job. I did like the D shape though, I remember many times as a kid getting my hair caught or tangled in the zipper while trying to duck through the V opening with the zipper pull at the top.Ours even included a zippered slot near the front left corner that you could run a power cord through as needed. It had a window in the door and a window on each side of the tent. It had one pocket about half way up the tent on each side as well. Good for those of us that wear glasses to safely stash them without worry of someone rolling over on them and breaking them.This tent could sleep a full 8 people if they were all not huge people and didn't mind touching. The two kids settled down on one side of the tent and me and hubby on the other side of the tent. My son as some point in the night come over and snuggled up to his down (maybe due to the wind spooking him) and later when his teen sister realized she was alone she came over and squished in next to me. We all did fit along the one side, however we were touching edges and didn't mine if our bodies touched, legs slung over each other ect. Four grown men who would want to keep space between them would not fit, so size just depends on how much room you really feel you need. It is a good sized tent for a family of four.

I bought this Tent, for my Wife & I to go camping & for use when our friends go, I also plan to keep it as a backup if needed for my Bug out Plans, & survival Tent, it's not a Winter Tent, only if it's all you have.My 1st night I got it, I set it up with a friend & camped out, the setup said, 2 People 15 minutes, took us about 15-20, 2 people are needed to set it up, but it was simple.I bought a Walmart Painters Tarp for less than $3 to place under it, I had also bought a cheap piece of rug at the local carpet store to place on the flooring inside to protect the floor from tears.The temp that night got down to 37* but I had used my 2 person sleeping bag good to 40 below & I could not tell it was cold out, during the day at around 70* with the rainfly on & windows zipped up, it retained so much heat, I was sweating inside, so had to pull it back a little, & open both windows, that cooled it sufficiently, it is bigger inside than it appears to be outside, it's plenty of room for my Wife & I, and should sleep 6 nicely & 8 would be crowded but could happen if you have to do it.I love the Velcro on the Door, that was a huge selling point, as most well reviewed tents here all seemed to have zipper complaints about the doors, this one, you only need to use the zipper when you go to bed, the velcro is perfect, & having the hinged door is awesome, also the front porch cover is great, we placed 2 chairs under it & kept the sun off us, it seems well made & as long as you take care of it, it should last, that's why I bought the cheap carpet to protect the flooring & mattress pads for blowup mattress.It also has an electrical outlet zippered entrance, & 2 mesh compartments to hold small items inside, I am 5-11 & can stand up in the middle.The Pegs that come with it are cheap, only good to use on the Rainfly, I am very glad I bought 10 better pegs with the plastic t-handle tops on them, they are thicker, longer & better to secure the entire tent, on the new pegs, I tied 550 black paracord in & around the plastic T-handle, so when I use my hammer to pull them out with, I tied a loop on the top of the paracord, so I grab the paracord & take the stress off the plastic handles, because they will break, but this preserves them, so definitely buy these Tent Pegs or steaks so they arrive with your Tent, mine had the green plastic T-Handles, havent used the tent yet in the rain, but it looks well made & I also bought some Rain seal to spray on the seams later to help prevent leaks.I would definitely recommend this tent, I got it recently here as Coleman offered a $25 discount for a short time on any sales, so I got it for $100
