Coleman Sunlodge 10 Person Cabin Tent Review

The Sunlodge 10 has eight windows and two doors and a maximum center height of 6' 6, which is 10 inches less than the average height of the 26 various 10 person tents we have studied. With 136 square feet of room inside, it is considerably smaller than some other 10-person tents, and it would be quite cramped for you and, up to nine other campers during the 3-seasons, this tent is suggested for use in, larger tents similar to this one often can make an ideal choice for people that prefer having loads of space inside of the tent for sleeping and hanging out.

One of the good things about cabin tents is, that the sides of the tent are near vertical creating a sizeable interior, this makes for much more headroom at the sides of the tent, making it feel much larger than other types of tents, in general the floor areas are quite large compared to other tents. Normally cabin tents are used by groups going on a camping trip in a car or a truck as they are quite heavy when compared to dome tents. That dose though make them better suited to colder nights. Not all tents are created equal, cabin tents often have a few rooms, the same as the Coleman Sunlodge two-room tent

Underneath you can see a list of the tent's pros and cons.

PROS

1. Internal storage. It is good to see Coleman has added a gear loft and pockets in the interior to store some of your things.
2. More than one room. The Sunlodge comes with two rooms, allowing for more privacy. Great for a large family and groups who do not want to be all sleeping together.
3. Removable divider. For those who want to maximize all of the available space that the Sunlodge provides, the divider can be removed to have one large room for everyone to share.
4. More than one door. With 2 doors, it is simpler to get in and out of the tent, in the middle of the night if needed.
5. More than one window. With 8 windows it is simple to keep the tent cooler on a hot summers night.
6. Breathable. The Sunlodge's interior uses a mesh fabric on the inside of the tent, and this helps maximize the flow of air. With the extra ventilation, and this tent is great for use in the warmer months.
7. Available in other sizes. Coleman has also made this model available in Other Sizes.

CONS

1. Not spacious. With a floor area of 136 square feet, the Sunlodge 10 is smaller than quite a few of the 27 other 10 person tents we have looked at.
2. Lacking in Headroom. With 10% less headroom than similar sized tents, one can see how this could be a negative factor for some campers.
3. No Vestibules. If you want to keep your dirty shoes, clothes, and backpacks protected from the elements, you must store them inside the tent.
4. Rainfly does not totally cover the tent body. The rainfly only covers the ceiling and part of the tent body from the top. Meaning it might not protect against heavy downpours.
5. Uses Fiberglass poles. Even though the poles are comprised of steel & fiberglass. Using even some fiberglass with a big tent like the Sunlodge 10 could possibly lead to problems, if there were to be extreemly windy conditions.
6. Poor Heat Retention. The general construction of the Coleman's Sunlodges interior is designed to easily let air in and out. Therefore, it cannot keep heat inside, making it unsuitable for use in cold weather.
7. Heavy. Even though heavy is not in it self a negative, it is worth noting that the Sunlodge 10, weighs 41 pounds and has a packed size of 12 x 12 x 27 inches. Clearly it is designed for camping with a vehicle and would not be super easy to set up on your own.
8. Footprint not Included. There is no included footprint, The floor may be made of WeatherTec system's welded corners and inverted seams help keep water out but it is still best to protect it further with a footprint, more so on rough terrain.

Coleman's Sunlodge 10 tent is perfect for car camping. Here are a few other nice points not mentioned above which, were noticed and liked, while researching the model: 2 large door awnings provide additional weather protection and allows better airflow, E-port makes it easy to access an extension cord so you can bring electrical power inside your tent and Rainfly connections to the left of the doors, and brow pole sleeves, are color-coded red to help orient the rainfly.
