Is it possible the tent leaked on U becuz the top vents were properly closed/velcroed?

[mcgiver2004]

@akjunkie yes the vents where closed. The leaks in my situation was around the windows, doors, and corners. I have had great history with Colemans products and was dissappointed in finding that this experience was not what I am use too.

Great vid. Love the junior commentary. FYI folks, I have owned this tent for 2 years and it has been through light showers, windy thunderstorms, and overnight soakers without leaking a drop. Been tent camping for over 30 years and this tent is by FAR the best value I have ever run across. It goes from bag to standing inside in 5 minutes and takes about 10 minutes from teardown start to zipped in the bag.

@chieftwoshoes I have had great experience with Colemans products in the past, and was very disappointed with the experience that I had with this on. But with almost all manufactures there are mistakes made. I hope that the one I purchsed wasnt the norm. I did read alot of reviews and didnt see anything that said that this tent was going to be an issue. I was just passing on what I found out with the one that I purchased. Thanks for your comment and your support.

Didn't that tent have a rain fly? If not then a serious failure on Colemans part. By the way, your daughter is a great commentater.

[mcgiver2004]

@morgandewolfe No it doesnt have a rainfly at all... just get a large tarp.

@morgandewolfe i just read on colemans website that due to a lot of customers complaints, they were gonna make a revised model with rainfly.

Those tents are nice to start but give it a few uses and it kiss it goodbye.

Hate the fact that one of my favorite camping brands feel the need to send the jobs to China too. I always have to apply a silicone spray to my tents to stop water leaking. Good vid.
