What's Included

Your Coleman 4-Person Instant Camping Tent package includes the following components:

• Coleman 4-Person Cabin Tent with Instant Setup (pre-attached poles)
• Ground Stakes
• Storage Bag
• Product Description (printed material)
• PDF (digital documentation, if applicable)

Setup Instructions

The Coleman Instant Tent is designed for rapid deployment, typically setting up in about 60 seconds. Follow these steps for a quick and efficient setup:

1. Unpack the Tent: Remove the tent from its carry bag and lay it flat on the ground at your desired campsite. Ensure the tent is fully spread out with the pre-attached poles extended.


Step 1: Lay the tent flat on the ground.

2. Lift the Center Hub: Locate the central hub where all the poles connect. With a partner, lift the center of the tent, allowing the poles to begin extending upwards.


Step 2: Lift the tent's center to begin pole extension.

3. Extend the Legs: Once the tent is partially upright, extend each leg pole downwards until it locks into place. You may need to gently pull the fabric taut as you extend the poles.


Step 3: Extend and lock the leg poles.

4. Secure the Tent: Once all poles are extended and locked, the tent will be fully erected. Use the provided ground stakes to secure the tent corners and guy lines (if applicable) to the ground. This provides stability, especially in windy conditions.


The tent features pre-attached poles for quick setup.

Operating Features

• WeatherTec System: Your tent features the WeatherTec system with patented welded floors and inverted seams. This design helps to keep the interior dry during wet weather conditions.


The WeatherTec system provides enhanced weather protection.

• Vented Rainfly: The integrated vented rainfly improves airflow within the tent, reducing condensation and enhancing comfort without requiring additional assembly.
• Integrated Storage Pockets: Keep small items organized and easily accessible with the tent's integrated storage pockets.


Internal storage pockets help keep your gear organized.

• Spacious Interior: The tent is designed to fit one queen-size air bed and offers broad dimensions of 8 x 7 feet with a center height of 4-foot 11-inch, providing ample room for occupants and gear.

The tent provides a comfortable space for camping.

Takedown and Storage

To take down and store your tent:

1. Remove Stakes: Unstake all ground stakes and guy lines.
2. Collapse Poles: Reverse the setup process by collapsing the leg poles and then gently pushing down on the center hub until the tent folds flat.
3. Fold and Roll: Carefully fold the tent fabric, ensuring all air is expelled. Roll the tent tightly towards the opening of the carry bag.


Folding the tent for compact storage.

4. Place in Carry Bag: The included carry bag expands for easy packing. Place the rolled tent and all accessories into the bag.

Maintenance

Proper maintenance will extend the life of your tent:

• Cleaning: Hand wash the tent with mild soap and water. Do not use harsh detergents, washing machines, or dryers, as these can damage the fabric and waterproof coatings.
• Drying: Always ensure the tent is completely dry before packing it away. Storing a damp tent can lead to mildew and fabric degradation.
• Storage: Store the tent in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Seam Sealing: While the tent features inverted seams, applying an additional seam sealer to all seams, especially around windows and zippers, can enhance water resistance, particularly in heavy rain.

Troubleshooting

• Water Leakage: If you experience minor leaks, especially around windows or seams, consider applying a silicone-based seam sealer to the exterior seams. Ensure the tent is properly pitched and taut to allow water to run off the rainfly effectively.
• Zipper Issues: If zippers snag, gently pull the fabric away from the zipper teeth. Keep zippers clean and free of dirt or debris. Lubricate with a silicone-based zipper lubricant if necessary.
• Condensation: Ensure adequate ventilation by keeping the vented rainfly open and, if conditions allow, partially opening windows or doors to promote airflow.
