CORE 4-Person Straight-Wall Cabin Tent – Spacious, Durable & Easy to Set Up

I haven’t opened the box yet because I will need the tent for the end of May!

I bought one of these tents a year ago and love it. I, i am a scoutmaster and bought a second one for my 15 year old. Grandson who is 6 foot tall and outgrowing his smaller tent. It came damaged. I got ahold, a core, and they replaced it withhin 4 days, wow.

Bought this model last summer, with limited use so far. I was looking for a bit more comfort, high ceiling for standing up, room for a chair and table. You know, a cabin. Guess I was just lucky until experiencing high humidity and a little shower. Condensation actually formed underneath the fly and dripped into the tent. Lower walls were more than damp, beading water and developing a drip. Condensation was the biggest problem, I have had backpacking tents and dome tents with enough experience to find this performance subpar. I guyed out, but frankly find it changes nothing in the coverage. I vented, but it was in the mid 40s. Anyway, maybe it’s great for dry desert air. No wonder it is less expensive? But my Coleman Timberline performs better. Unless I can be guided for better technique, I have to express disappointment.

Love being able to stand up straight inside. It poured and rained for a few hours but water didn’t seep through. My only complaint is the zipper for the door, it’s impossible to open without it getting stuck several times.

Love it, fit my 2 daughters during our camping nights

Replaced my 30-year-old Coleman 8×8 dome tent with this 8×7 cabin tent. I have used it for a total of five nights across two trips so far. What I like: – Love the extra headroom compared to my old dome tent. – The dual wall pockets are a nice feature. – Windows on both sides are great (3 total!), but I wish there was one on the back as well (why not 4?) – Zippers have worked well so far. – Tent feels sturdy in the wind. What I don’t love: – Setup is harder than with a dome tent. I am still figuring out the best method for the vertical cabin poles. Not sure if it is better to start with the top or bottom, and what order. – I am disappointed that the crossbars are not much improved from my old Coleman. I wish the tent cliped to the poles rather than a sleeve. And the poles have big joints that get caught easily. My modern one-person backpacking tent has a dream setup, while this is exactly the same as it was 30 years ago. – I bought better tent stakes right away. This tent should come with proper stakes from the start. – This is my first time using a tent gear loft. Unless it is loaded with gear, it tends to fall off. Is that normal? If so, just the hook is fine, I can do without the falling down mesh.

This tent is a little over 6’2” ft it is perfect for someone who is 5’10” fits cot Perfectly as well. I only used it in 50 degree weather, I was not chilled to the bone. It has someone what dark windows. I stated near a bathhouse with lights on alll night and if I had the windows open all the light would come in but when I zipped them shut it was like 25% darker then it was. I highly recommend!
