How to Identify and Resolve Common Issues ?

so how long does it take to set up this coleman. 10 percent instant tent with two people to take everything out and unpack the tent flat on the ground will take about two minutes from there propping the poles up and extending all of them will take another one and a half minutes draping a rain fly over the tent.
A 4 person tent can fit a queen size air mattress. A single-tall queen size air mattress is usually 80” x 60” x 10” (L x W x H), and a 4 person tent is an average size of 100” x 85”.
So, considering that, along with luggage and camping equipment, a 4 person tent for 4 people can get quite cramped. For a group of 4 people, especially if they`re adults, and all the camping gear they`ll likely bring with them, it`s a good idea to consider investing in a 6 person tent instead.
It depends on the design of the tent. There are 4 person tents that have ample interior height to stand up inside and walk around. If you are a family of four, however, I recommend looking for a 6-person tent that will allow everyone to have ample room to sleep comfortably, store gear, and walk around.
4P Tents – Luxurious for 2-3 people with interior gear storage space. Tight but possible to fit 3 people and a child or dog. A very tight fit for 4 average adults. 6P Tents – Comfortable for 4 plus gear.
One person can set up a 12×14 wall tent in 30 minutes very easily. Two people can set up a 12×14 in around 10 minutes.
Coleman tents can last at least 5 years if they are well taken care of, and are used lightly. This includes but is not limited to using a footprint while camping, cleaning and drying the Coleman tent after use, and storing it properly when not in use.
Unless you`re a hardcore camper or backpacker, you probably won`t spend more than 10 nights in a tent during any given year. That being the case, the average tent will last roughly 15 years. If you only camp 5 nights during the year, then the tent may be able to take care of you for 30 years, when properly maintained.
As a general rule, a family of 4 will need at least a 6 person tent. A family of 5 will likely need an 8P tent and a 6-person family will need a 10P tent. However, these guidelines aren`t always accurate. Some very large tents will actually only sleep four people comfortably, especially if you are using air mattresses.
Generally, two adults can fit comfortably on a king size mattress with other sleeping companions too such as children and pets. All these individuals can sleep on a king size bed comfortably without feeling cramped or squashed.
Ventilation must ensure a steady supply of fresh air/oxygen (for reasons of both safety and sleep), as well as control condensation out of the tent. The ventilation system must be able to do this in two ways: through ventilation and ventilation.

propane cylinder will power the lantern for up to 4.3 hours on high and 9.25 hours on low.
While 2 man tents are designed to fit up to 2 people, they can get rather snug, especially when adding all your camping gear and luggage. These sized tents are better suited for solo campers to give you the comfort and space you need.
Most “3-person tents” would only fit 2 people comfortably. Many tents marketed as being for 3 people are 6`x7′. Given an average 18″ adult shoulder width, the tent would give only 4.5″ between each shoulder and side if three people were in the tent.
Yes it is possible to lock your tent from inside or outside by using small padlocks, which can go through the zip loops on the tent internally or externally. Some people like to do this before they go to sleep so they know their tent is safe from intruders.
Modern tents made of polyester or nylon are most often treated and have a high HH, so you usually do not need to worry about touching the inside – they still wont leak. Cotton and canvas tents (older) are usually untreated and have a lower HH, so they will leak via capillary action when touched from the inside.
Tent footprint should be just large enough for the number of people sleeping in it, with maybe a little extra room to allow for easy exits for those 3 AM bathroom runs. Having extra space inside your tent to store gear safely is great in the summer time, but creates much more air space to be heated.
Yes, one person can put up a 6-person tent. Usually, it takes 3-4 minutes for two people to set up a big tent. If one person alone puts up a 6-person tent, it might take them 10 minutes to do so.
Do not use a washing machine to clean your tent. And always let it air dry before re-packing. Your tent must be stored dry. If you must close camp in the rain, open your tent and set it up as soon as possible to avoid mildew and odors.
Aim to place the tent in the middle of the backpack. Placing it in the middle puts the least strain on your back since your tent is one of your heavier items. Ideally, your sleeping bag should be at the very bottom of the pack, and your tent should be just above it.
Well, the outer wall of a tent protects it from the air, water, and other elements by using extra-durable material. On the other hand, the inner layer is more breathable, allows better ventilation inside the tent, and prevents the build-up of condensation.
Even though dome tents look difficult to set up alone, they are actually one of the easiest tents to assemble by yourself! If you have a newer dome tent, it is simpler than ever to put one together. However, a lost instruction manual can mean the difference between an easy task and a much more difficult one.

Instruction for setup of American Camper tent 8×11
ANSWER : Finally figured it out through trial and error. This right here is the only correct explanation given anywhere on the net.
First, make sure you have all of your poles. There will be 4 straight green ones, 4 straight blue, 4 straight burgundy with plastic feet, 4 curved yellow, 2 small orange arches, a straight pink and a straight white.
Before you start putting the poles together, stake the tent down at every loop point around the base of the tent. There should be 10 of them. Make sure they’re fairly tight and the floor of the tent is taught and flat but not so tight that you tear the tent at the seam. Stake 1 corner first. Then put the second stake through the second loop in order and using a firm pressure, pull away from the first stake, along the line of the tent base, make taught and push the second stake into the ground. Repeat until finished.
The first pole assembly uses in this order, going out from the yellow arch, which is in the center. From one side of that arch, add one green, then a curved yellow, then another green and a burgundy at the bottom. Do the same from the other side of the center arch piece.
This arch outlines the door and goes through the 3 loops on the front of the tent, around the door, so the poles hold the tent up. the loops at the bottom are not for the poles. Every loop around the bottom are where the stakes go to hold it down. For now point the feet towards the back of the tent wherever they will stand on their own. You can fine tune it and firm it up once you get the second arch in place.
All green ones should now be used up.
For the second arch, do the same thing but use the blue instead of the green. So from the one side of the yellow arch, 1 blue, 1 curved yellow, one blue and one burgundy. Same order from the other side of the arch.
Now all the poles should be used up except for the straight pink one and the straight white one. These two go together to make a straight pole that goes through the metal loops attached to the yellow arch pieces and locks the two arch assemblies apart at the top.
Now this takes some maneuvering and some word smithery to describe but what you want to do is make sure the feet of the front arch assembly, are pointed towards the back of the tent and stop at the side. The back arch feet will point towards the front of the tent. They both stop about 6 inches BEFORE the center tie down loop on the SIDES of the tent, on either side of the center loop. The front arch will actually lean forward, with the feet pointed behind it and wedged into the ground, right up against the tent at the bottom, move it around until you have a nice firm feel to it. Same with the back arch but this one will lean away from the back of the tent and the feet pointed towards the front. Once you get the back arch into place, it will really firm up and won’t budge.
Another way to describe it would be that the two arch assemblies feet will point towards each other at the side of the tent, about 6 inches before they reach the center loop on either side.
Hope this helped. =)
