![]() Difficult to explain until you actually try it, but for those who are wedded to the idea of unzipping a soggy floppy door then there is always an option at the side for you traditionalists. It’s actually quite amazing what a psychological difference having a proper door on a tent makes to the whole experience. Once you’ve successfully inflated the three beams and pegged out the tent so it’s all nice and taut it simply a matter of opening up the amazing front door which has a proper hinge in it and opens like a proper door!!! And then it’s just like being home. I think I’ve taken one for the team, so no need to thank me. Now you read this you won’t make that same mistake. ![]() I hadn’t read the instructions and I hadn’t turned off this super deflated feature, so every time I disconnected my pump the thing went down. Even an idiot can do it.Įventually… Because I am an idiot and it took me a little while to realise that the valves that you pump the air into have a locking mechanism so they deflate super quickly to. Well hopefully they’ve addressed that too because this tent features the Coleman fast pitch air system which means that you simply have to connect to pump and blow up three large hoops to get the tent up quickly. This tent has two of them side-by-side and it easily big enough to sleep four or two of you after an argument with enough space to flounce about and huff and puff in peace.Īnd we all know that the number one cause of arguments when camping is the pitching of the tent. Seriously they’re incredible if you are like me and when you camp you wake up at the crack of dawn and lay there listening to the sniffly hedge grogs and morning ablutions of your fellow campers as your partner snoozes soundly next to you.Īnd on this particular tent Coleman have teamed up that darkness technology with extra large bedrooms that offer enough space for a huge inflatable bed or if you have a normal inflatable bed then plenty of room around it for accumulating stuff or losing your socks. They are seriously impressive for those of you who like to pitch your tent underneath the only streetlight in the campsite or next to someone who likes to keep the light on. You will need a torch to go for a wee even if it’s the middle of day dark. So let’s start with those blackout bedrooms. Well, you don’t get to see that Canadian until the next afternoon because their brain has literally shut down from the magnificent darkness of this womb like tent.Ĭoleman is one of those brands which have come up with a bunch of good ideas and throw them all at one tent so there’s a lot to talk about and a lot which, if this was your only tent, you could start taking for granted. Bring them to England, fill them with the finest real ales known to man, and throw them into one of this Coleman tent’s blackout bedrooms, and what do you get? Take one Canadian who lives up above the Arctic Circle and hasn’t seen a sunset for several months so is going a little bit stir crazy.
