Coleman Sunlodge 8 Person Cabin Tent Review

The Sunlodge 8 has eight windows and two doors and a peak center height of 6' 6, which is a tiny bit smaller than the average height of the 66 various 8 person tents we have examined With 112 square feet of room inside, it is considerably smaller than some other 8-person tents, and it would be quite cramped for you and, up to seven other campers throughout the 3-seasons, this tent is suggested for use in, larger tents similar to this one are a superb choice for people who like having heaps of room inside their tent for sleeping and hanging out.

One of the awesome things about cabin tents is, that the sides of the tent are basically vertical creating a larger interior, this allows for much more headroom at the sides inside, making it feel much larger than a dome tent, most of the time, they tend to have large floor areas, so they are great for larger groups. Normally cabin tents will be used by groups going on a camping trip in a car or a truck as they are quite heavy when compared to dome tents. It dose though make them well suited to cooler nights. Some cabin tents even have more than one room inside, just like the Coleman Sunlodge two-room tent

CONS

1. Not spacious. With a floor area of 112 square feet, the Sunlodge 8 is smaller than quite a few of the 68 other 8 person tents we have looked at.
2. No Vestibules. If you want to keep your dirty shoes, clothes, and backpacks protected from the rain etc, you must keep them inside the tent.
3. Rainfly does not completely cover the tent. The rainfly only covers the ceiling and part of the tent body from the top. Meaning it may not protect against heavy rain.
4. Uses Fiberglass poles. Even though the poles are comprised of steel & fiberglass. Using even some fiberglass with a large tent like the Sunlodge 8 could possibly lead to problems, if there were to be extreemly windy conditions.
5. 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.
6. Heavy. Even though heavy is not in it self a negative, it is worth noting that the Sunlodge 8, weighs 30 pounds and has a packed size of 11 x 11 x 27 inches. Clearly it is designed for camping with a car and would not be super easy to set up on your own.
7. 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 8 tent is really good for car camping. Here are a couple of other points not noted above which, were found 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.
