Colman Tent - Do I love it?

Image
Last night in only ten minutes my soon to be six year old daughter and I put up the new tent in our living room.  Set up in our living room, looking into front of tent Screened 4-person Evanston Tent I love the color I love the size I love the screened second space I love the height I love the open mesh to see the stars I love this tent I love the price After looking online at all the tents in it's class it appears that the price of under $60 is a crazy good deal. This tent will be perfect for light camping, short trips and two person + dog camping. Looking overhead, saggy because no steaks, notice the TP already inside, side flaps zip up I purchased this tent at this Cosco for $56. They do not show it online however. Here are few other places I found it. Amazon $73 Ebay $86 Colman Without Screen $130 Oh and theirs nothing wrong with it. It's absolutely fabulous! SEE SETTING UP CAMP KITCHEN SEE...

Colman Tent FOUND THE ONE FOR ME

On my visit to the Bay Area (Northern Calif) I stopped into Costco. Their she was, hanging up in isle three..................... a four person tent with screened porch for $56. Fits a queen bed plus extra space and a small area screened in for cloths and "The Dog!" I can't wait to put it up in the house to try it out. This picture was the best I could find for now.  Costco online isn't showing the tent I bought. But in looking around the price is amazing or something is wrong with it, I'll let you know. It says 15min. to put together..........hummmm?

Shopping For A New Tent

We have two tents. One 5 person dome ..... EASY to put together, sleeps two on a queen airbed with squeezed in dog. Perfect for my daughter and I on a short trip. A Colman Weather Master (shown above) that is awesome for longer trips and though it takes longer to install after a week of camping it's worth it. A must have for my 6'3" husband who doesn't want to be sleeping with the dog. Size 17'x9' Our dog Bravo the Labradoodle   Now I am shopping for an easy up tent with space for three of us and the dog for short trips. Here is what I found Ultra Dome Tent, Six-Person From L.L.Bean see link for image $249.00 Save 25%                            NOW $185.99 Easier setup, more helpful features and a better price than any tent in its class Sets up in less than 10 minutes Offers more...
