Coleman claims that the tent assembles in less than a minute. Our first attempt on the Instant Tent took us longer but it did go up quickly. We set up on our testing ground (back yard) before we try it at a campground. This gives us an opportunity to figure out how to put up and look for any problems. This is an 8-person tent 14’ x 10’ and by no means lightweight. This is late April and early May with high winds, rain, and yes-even snow. Our first set up ended with high winds taking the tent and rolling it a couple of turns we quickly got it broken down and into the house. The stakes are not the best and with 45 to 50 mile an hour winds it popped the stakes and off it went. Our second attempt we staked down with 10-inch spikes and that worked. The Instant tent is seam sealed, and with the WeatherTec™ System, they guarantee you will stay dry. An early May snowstorm and rainstorm we did find that the tent did leak. It was not a waterfall but we did get puddles. At close examination, it appears to be leaking at a seam connecting the tub bottom and tent fabric. We like the room the Instant tent provides but are disappointed with the leak. I may be able to correct with seam sealer we will keep you updated.
