Afterwards, we start comparing the two tents side-by-side. Established in 2003, Anchor Express is a leading online retailer of consumer and commercial
marine electronics, boating supplies, GPS, and outdoor products. But then in view of this, it is hard to understand why they did not make it larger.
We’ve looked at every size of this tent in detail as well as some other popular tents from Coleman to give you as well-rounded an analysis as possible. Manufacturer warranties are available on select products, email with coleman ice chest any questions. Good quality, everything works well and in good condition. Overall Its a good quality tent and it will serve you well. After spraying each corner for about five minutes, two of the four corners leaked.
If you think you’ll experience rain on your camping adventures, you get what you pay for here and it’s probably best to look elsewhere. We tested the six-person version of the Coleman Sundome, which offers a healthy 10 feet x 10 feet of floor area. To gauge livability, we brought along two adults, a portable crib, and a dog, and found that the Sundome 6 provided more than enough room for summertime adventures.
Reading back through this review, I seem to view the tent in a negative light. It will be great for light to medium duty use, but is not a heavy duty camper. Sure, there may be better tents out there in this size, but they come at a harder to pay price as well. However, if you are just doing the occasional holiday or one weekend a month type of camping, then the Sundome will serve you well. From the netting to the poles to the rainfly, many of the main components of this tent are not built to last. For example, the string that connects the pole sections together broke on our first pitch.
The packed size of the 4-person dome tent would be too bulky for backpacking, but is conveniently sized and shaped for car camping. The Coleman sundome would have been a GREAT option for a trip I recently took. I needed a tent that was going to be comfortable for a weekend car camping trip.
Due to the outbreak, the camp closed and we went home the next day. Whether it’s hiking, family holidays, camping, touring and overlanding, climbing, splashing in the pool or making the most of the back garden, we have the outdoor and leisure equipment you need. We like to give our customers an awesome retail experience.
I measured my poles and I did find some aluminum poles online that are the exact size to fit my tent for $36 for the pair so that’s an option I would take if I break a pole. First off, the price on the 2 is hard to beat. For $69 this is an affordable entry level tent for a someone new to camping in mild conditions (more on that in a sec).
This was not an issue we found was consistent across online reviews. However, the Sundome doesn’t come with Coleman’s Dark Room Technology like some other Coleman tents which would make this dome-shaped tent even better in the summer. When compared to other low-budget models, the Coleman Sundome does an impressive job of keeping the tent free from condensation. The center height reaches 4’11” which might be too small for some campers.
