I have a Coleman Lakeside 10x15 and I love it for two people. We have an accordion bed frame with a queen-size air bed and there's still half the tent for chairs and a table. Plenty of storage, but no outside vestibule.

I have had a Coleman Weathermaster 12 x 18 ft tent for over ten years. My zippers broke last year. Up till then it was a great tent. now I am also looking for a replacements for my tent. Personally I would not get a tent that had a screened porch. They do not do that great in weather, and I do not want to worry about leaving things in the vestibule and getting stolen. I would rather have more interior room. I like the new "D" doors that the new Colemans have. The door zippers are by far the weakest part in the tents I have owned. Rasbo bought a nice family sized tent recently (I can't remember the name) when you find one you like, search Cabelas and Amazon for that tent, then read the reviews.
I like the idea of the D doors as well but reviews on the doors are poor, they don't line up right. I also see the attachments are velcro which I would assume would lose their hold after awhile BUT you can still go back to the zipper.
These have decent reviews but with a screen porch as well.

any of you guys with zipper problems ever had them redone? ive had an old white stag, light canvas tent for about 20 years, had it rezipped twice for about $50 a pop. the fabric & seams are about done after last years elk hunt but the last zipper job has held up well. if you really like your tent and its only a zipper its a cheep fixWhere did you get your zippers redone! I called Coleman and they said everything is made in Taiwan now and they do not sell replacement parts. :bash:
If I could get the zippers sown I could get years more out of this tent.

That thing is HUGE! I went to cabelas this weekend to take a look, they had one set up, unfortunately we don't need the biggest size, they didn't have any 4 or 6 man ones.
And Alchase, they didn't have the other one you posted that you were looking at. I had high hopes of coming home with one but decided to wait.

We're pretty close to buying this one: http://bit.ly/lP4SG6 (http://bit.ly/lP4SG6) Being able to set it up by myself, in the dark is pretty darned appealing. Plus we have a baby and all her gear, so we need the bigger size...
Looks like a good one.

Be advised, I have personally seen two different "instant tents" colapse! One was in Winthrop during hunting season. The other was at Sunlakes State Park with minimal wind.

There's a 10x16 Coleman Weathermaster on special at Costco this month for 145.00. If I needed a tent, that would be it.
Thanks for the heads up. I took my old coleman out this past weekend cause I couldn't find anything I wanted in time. One thing I did notice that I still want is the tub style tarp bottom because it hasn't leaked a bit. Probably a better rain fly to cover the windows. Another problem is the dog. Hair all over the place so two rooms would be good.

I am looking for a tent (or 2) for our family, probably going to take a chance on a Northwest Territory Front Porch Tent.
should fit me, the wife, and 3 kids and all the junk the wife always thinks we need..
