Nope, about 7-10 minutes solo or 5 mins with help. Pretty basic setup, three poles including one for the rain fly.

I bought several Coleman tents in the last few years and they've all self-destructed very early- tons of problems, and they can't be repaired.

Coleman was a US company since 1871 with great quality and fantastic customer service, and they'd sell you any parts you need (or just ship them to you). 5 or 6 years ago they were bought out by a Chinese company and everything since then is pure junk. It falls apart quickly and there is ZERO support and no ability to buy replacement parts!

Old Coleman tents from 10 years ago are far superior to the ones they sell today. Right now this company is operating off the fumes from the goodwill the Coleman brand name generated over many generations. AVOID.

Coleman is currently owned by the same group (Newell) that owns Rubbermaid, Elmer's, Sharpie etc. Don't think it owned by a Chinese company. The goods maybe made in China but the company Newell is American. Does not talk of quality though - with the constant pressure to keep price the same lot of these companies move to China for making their goods. Pretty sure the quality have decreased as they continue to sell items around dollar 50

OP - thanks for the post. We've been looking for something like this; 4 person tent for 2 people. I'm willing to give it a try.

Quote from Indou :
I've had this exact tent for four and a half years now. Definitely basic and no-frills, but I sealed the seams as soon as I got it and it's been rock solid for car camping. Slept in the Badlands one night with 40-50 mph gusts and was dry as a stone while the next tent over lost its rainfly... looks like some Amazon reviewers saw different results in these conditions, though.

Edit: Didn't realize quite how long I've had this account without commenting even once. Hello, world!

How do you seal the seams?

Quote from SeanD1497 :
Bought one of these in 2013 and put probably 50+ nights on it. It was still kicking and not leaking when I gave it to a friend. Only got rid of it because I got an instant tent. I could put this thing up in close to 5 minutes but just wanted something a little bigger and bigger that held my XL cot without it touching the sides.

I'd recommend this for car camping for 1-2 people. Not something I'd take to Everest, but mine saw some rain and wind and held up fine. Good luck finding anything significantly better in the price range.

Could you recommend an instant tent?

Bought this a couple years ago, and have used it 8-10 times since then and it's held up great. It's easy to set up, perfect size for 2 people (have a queen size air mattress and there's room on the sides/bottom for stuff), and it didn't leak even when we got caught out in a pretty good rain storm up in the Apostle Islands this summer. Probably want to seal the seams before camping next year, but it's been great for a cheap $50 tent. Purchased May 2018 for $52.

Sorry, no links, and I'm no expert. But friends of mine have Coleman 4-person and 6-person Instant tents, the same square (er, rectangular) ones they sell all over, and they love them. I have an older model Ozark 6-person that has been good, and is similar. Newer Ozarks have been on here recently, I think - same design but block light better now. None of these come with a full rainfly that covers the whole thing but they're fine for casual car camping, and none of ours have been leaky yet.

Buy a bottle of seam sealer and set the tent up on a sunny day. Take your time brushing back and forth along the inside seams and the seams on the underside of the rainfly, then let it dry well. You can buy different brands at Amazon, REI, Walmart, etc. It can get messy very quickly if you aren't careful. I found that pouring some out in a small cup and dipping a brush in worked much better for me than using the applicator bottle. Smilie

That is good advice right here for ANY tent. We took both of our Coleman tents (3 and 5 years old) camping into a very RAINY few days in a National Park and they leaked like a sieve. The rainfly did nothing for heavy rain and water got right through, and water came through the seams (and the sides!) of our tent. Knowing how rainy this park is over what we were used to I chose to try using a spray-on waterproofer ahead of time and it didn't help at all. Only stringing some larger thick tarps over my tents did we save our camping vacation.

Honestly I wouldn't take any cheap tent to a wetter climate now - my previous experience was mostly camping in the Western US where rain is light, infrequent and mostly rolls off. Eastern/Appalachian camping is a whole other matter. Get a good tent with a really good rainfly and save yourself hours of trouble mopping up water and stringing tarps between trees. I know that's my plan going forward... sadly I can't recommend anything yet.

This is all very good info. Chinese company or American doesn't matter. I'm now starting realize just how entrenched the whole world at large is becoming in throw away mentality. Been decades in the making but I think we've hit a turning point where even large items are considered disposable.
- Warranty's are useless, the company will just make a snap decision whether to replace your item. Largely based on their current loss calculation, not your specific scenario or warranty.
- Company reputations and pride are bought and sold or just plain tossed out the window by current management.
- Products are radically changed or replaced without being transparent to customers. Same upc box but different materials or product inside.
- It is truly an Amazon era where buyers have to really work understanding what they are actually getting and rely on that companies policy as of today, not to be guaranteed at some future date.

The lines have blurred so much that Chinese vs American vs Antartica isn't really a way to judge. While a lot of it is corporate bottom line there is also equal blame in the pressure customers have exerted to allow companies to make this shift. Cheap disposable good beyond consumables used to be the exception but now it is the rule. We voted with our dollars to get here 🤷

This exact tent goes on sale for like $36 at least twice a year in this puke green color. I got one like four years ago at that price, and still see it coming up constantly. They even had the cooler blue and green color go for that price at least once

Not that I've seen for the 4-person, just for the 2-3. It's a pretty big size difference. If I'm wrong, please correct me, but since all Sundomes look the same I usually confuse them.

Slept in the backyard in this again last night with 2 kids. I would never go more crowded than that.
Or 2 adults plus gear (or an infant, if you're into being miserable!)

Generally, I found it to be 4 people shoulder to shoulder with packs outside but you can definitely do 3 people comfortably with packs outside.
