Coleman 6-Person WeatherMaster Tent

Product Information

We’ve been fans of Kampa gear for many years, having owned and loved the lightweight Rally 390 Awning when we were caravan owners. It was therefore not a great surprise when the UK-based Kampa got bought out by Dometic in 2018, and they have gone from strength to strength ever since. When there’s no wind and the weather is sunny, you can keep the window flaps down and just open the doors. This way, you’ll get to enjoy a cool breeze that circulates across every corner of the tent. If you’re looking for a tent that offers an easier setup, then you should consider the CORE 9-Person Instant Cabin tent. Coleman XXL Bedrooms - designed to be more spacious than the average tent bedroom. Comfortably accommodating our larger double air beds. Actually we should give a shoutout to the windows on the Antrim – they are excellent. The ‘glass’ needs to be seen to be believed and the Diamond Clear name they have chosen is very apt. These are up there with the best windows on the tent scene at the moment. Lounge and Sleeping Area

Suitable for nearly all seasons, the tent walls are built using 70D polyester, while the floor is made out of double-coated polyethylene with a 10000 mm rating. The drive to recycle old plastic is an excellent initiative because it helps reduce the amount of plastic going to landfill and harming the environment for future generations. I’m not particularly “green”, but for me it’s a no-brainer to choose a product which can make a difference in this way – especially when you consider that the Joro 600XL is made with the equivalent of 261 plastic bottles! Dimensions and Layout The main difference between the 6L and 6XL is the dimensions. The 6L measures 820cm (L) x 300cm (W) x 200cm (H). The 6XL switches this around a bit by being 740cm (L) x 440cm (W) x 215cm (H). As a family, we found the 6XL to be the better layout for the way we like to live in a tent. In Use Although it was really difficult to find any major issue with the Coleman WeatherMaster, if we had to select a con it’d probably be this – perhaps camping in really poor weather conditions such as high storms and high winds won’t be ideal due to the shape of the tent. Weighing in at a fairly hefty 33.4kg (50kg for the polycotton version!) makes it almost certainly a two person job to carry any great distance. If you’re just transferring from a car boot to the ground then you can probably manage it on your own.

Customer Area

As mentioned, head height in the Antrim is substantial due to the pre-angled airbeams used to support the tent. They give an excellent arch and make walking around easy, even for tall folk like me. downward-angling windows that add to the ventilation inside the tent. The design of the windows makes for great air circulation all the while keeping the rain out.

The lounge area is expansive – this is your main living space, with a head height of over 2.15m – perfect for taller folk. The lounge measure 270 x 450cm and has two side doors to the outside, one with a neat little shelter (or ‘brow’) above it to get your shoes on without getting soaked. This also stops water dripping in when the door is open – nice! The Coleman WeatherMaster 10 is made to stand the test of time. Even after a couple of years using this tent, it should stay as good as new – just take reasonable care of it. Assembly is a breeze as you would expect using the supplied manual pump. Weight of the 6L is 29kG which is actually pretty good for a 6-person tent. The XL increases this slightly to 30.5kg.From experience, this tent is not waterproof at all. It’s great for dry weather camping. It’s easy to put up and take down. Review The lounge living space is a rather spacious 290 x 380cm (11 square metres) in area and is a lovely space for chilling out and relaxing. Never disappointed with the leakage or erecting of your tent. Its something most of us have faced while camping or during pre camping set up. We are here with some tips and advice that would help you to avail yourself of the best from your tent. El espacio es muy amplio, en ella dormimos 6 personas en 1 colchón queen y 2 colchones matrimoniales, sin aprietos y todavía con espacio para el equipaje.

Prepare the steel color-coded poles and slide them into the continuous pole sleeves of the tent, and pin the tent poles in place. Many tents have a tendency to catch in the zipper. With the hinged door, this isn’t really possible. During testing, we had the kids from our party opening and closing the doors repeatedly, and they even stood up well to that handling (and sometimes misuse). If you want the tent to last longer, avoid festivals (for obvious reasons) and steer clear of heavy rain—it’s not the most waterproof around. There were some concerns about the tents waterproofing, but even these users still saw the benefit of the WeatherMaster.The front of the Sierra Ridge is interesting. It consists of a large windowed section which provides great views of the outside world. The window can be handily covered up with an in-built blind to stop light shining in (or to stop people ogling!). On nice days, the whole of the front can be rolled up, providing great views and airflow. One thing to note is that the front section is not fully zipped (it uses velcro at the bottom) and so you have to be careful how you peg it out to avoid rain water seeping in.

When you’re traveling with the whole family (including your pets), finding an all-round good camping tent that can comfortably fit everyone and your gear can be difficult. In theory, ten person tents can sleep 10 comfortably if at least two of the campers are kids or small adults. The mattresses will be in close quarters, we’re talking no gaps between or behind them here, but for a close-knit family it’s doable. Campers were impressed with how much easier the Coleman WeatherMaster 10 made camping with children – especially the quality of the hinged door. It does come with the standard plastic stakes, but I used my own metal ones. Would have been nice to have studier pegs included since it's literally meant to stand up in worse weather, but better pegs are relatively cheap.
