Setup Instructions
Follow these steps for a quick and easy setup of your Coleman Sundome Tent.
- Choose a Site: Select a level area free of rocks, sharp objects, and depressions. Clear any debris.
- Unpack and Layout: Remove the tent from its carry bag and spread the tent body flat on the ground with the door facing the desired direction.
- Assemble Poles: Connect the fiberglass pole sections. Insert the poles into the sleeves on the tent body. The Sundome Tent typically uses two main poles that cross over the top.
- Secure Poles: Insert the ends of the poles into the pin-and-ring system at the corners of the tent. This will raise the tent structure.
- Attach Clips: Clip the tent body to the poles using the plastic clips provided. This will give the tent its final shape.
- Stake Down Tent: Secure the tent corners to the ground using the provided stakes. For best results, stake at a 45-degree angle away from the tent.
- Attach Rainfly: Drape the rainfly over the tent body, ensuring the door opening aligns. Attach the rainfly buckles or hooks to the corresponding points on the tent corners.
- Secure Guy Lines: Extend and stake out the guy lines from the rainfly for added stability, especially in windy conditions.
Note: Detailed diagrams for each setup step would typically be included here.
Operating Your Tent
Understanding the features of your tent will enhance your camping experience.
- Doors: The tent features a large D-shaped door for easy entry and exit. Use the zippers to open and close.
- Windows/Ventilation: The Sundome Tent includes large windows and a ground vent for improved airflow. Keep them open when possible to reduce condensation.
- Storage Pockets: Internal storage pockets are available for organizing small items.
- E-Port: Some models may include an E-Port for convenient electrical cord access. Ensure the port is fully zipped when not in use to prevent water entry.
Disassembly and Packing
To pack up your tent:
- Remove Stakes and Guy Lines: Carefully remove all stakes and roll up guy lines.
- Remove Rainfly: Detach and fold the rainfly.
- Disassemble Poles: Unclip the tent from the poles, then remove the poles from the sleeves. Break down the pole sections.
- Fold Tent Body: Lay the tent body flat. Fold it lengthwise to match the width of the pole bag.
- Roll Up: Place the pole bag, rainfly, and stakes at one end of the folded tent body and roll everything tightly towards the other end.
- Place in Carry Bag: Insert the rolled tent into the carry bag.
Maintenance and Care
Proper care will extend the life of your tent.

- Storage: Store the tent in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Repairs: Small tears can be repaired with a tent repair kit. For larger damage, contact Coleman customer service.
