Any problems with water leaking into tent? Still happy with the Big Horn? Really thinking about making this purchase.

We've camped for almost four months this year with this tent. We had a four day rainstorm and on the fourth day the floor became saturated and we did have some water in the tent. We called Browning and they immediately sent us a new tent at no cost to us. They said it shouldn't have happened. The replacement tent has been through a rainstorm and no leaking occurred this time. The tent has a lifetime warranty and Browning backs their products!

If you don't mind doing some sewing a stove pipe could be added. My observations about this tent. I had it out 5 times last summer. I'm in Kansas and purchased this tent last year (2013). It can get pretty windy here with little to shield the tent from the wind. And, I can say, this tent is not friendly in a high wind... kinda sound like sleeping next to a about a hundred flags in hurricane. It's a good tent with a direct wind under 15 mph. The guide line ropes that run down the tent walls are held on the tent with plastic rings. They can break and are easily replaced. The guide lines are only held to the tent mid way down the TeePee. This leaves a pretty noticeable sag at the bottom of the tent. I spent about a two hours adding another spot about 18 to 24 inches up from the floor for these ropes to hold the tent out. This greatly added useable room to the tent. The tent needs to be sprayed with silicone (tent sealant) and it'll need the seams sealed otherwise it'll leak. Also, when you are hoisting the tent up, be careful with the top of the TeePee. There's a piece at the very top which allows for ventilation. If this folds over and it's continued to be forced up, it'll break a plastic ring holding a rope to the tent. It's an easy fix. Lastly, the Nylon tent door (not the screen) does not have a bottom zipper (the screen does). That said, this is a very spacious tent (with the additional guide line attachment). And, it's super easy to put up and take down. One person can put this tent up without any struggling.

the guy is probably just making a joke. Technically NO horn is water proof. By that I mean you can't fill one up and expect to make it work. As for mounting it and just rain. Mine is mounted on the exact same mount as my original Harley horn and I ride 365 rain or shine. Only problem I find with the WOLO seems to relate to cold and lack of use. It tends to delay on cold days in building enough pressure to play and if I don't use it for a while it delays a few seconds.

I'll say this: In a heavy downpour, my Red Canyon leaked like a sieve, right through the rain fly, right through the seams, right through the tent fabric, and right through the floor. It's a fair-weather tent ONLY, in my experience. I even complained to Coleman about the Red Canyon, but they never answered my emails. I'll never buy from Coleman again.

I've taken mine on a number of rides, in good weather and bad. The last time I took them on a rainy trip, they held up well for two days (it rained one day and one night.) The contents inside were dry, so they'll handle the rain. I'm not going to say they're waterproof, since if you drop them in a lake of water the contents will get wet. But they'll be fine in the rain (and mud!) Honestly, they're nice to have. They hold a good amount of gear. Between them, a camelback, and some ultralight backpacking gear, you can easily store what you need too and them some! They'll be going with me again on the C&O Canal this spring/summer. Ohhh, they won't hold a bed roll, they're not deep enough. But a small sleeping bag should fit nicely, mine fit, but then didn't provide for much additional storage (except for the outside pockets.)

I've used this tent in rain, sleet, hail and snow. Leaking has never been a problem.

It is Great. Took it to Flagstaff, AZ last summer. Had a huge rainstorm, and everything stayed dry inside !! This is a great little tent.

Mostly. It's not the highest end of tents I found, but would greatly recommend it for the price. I found I was not rained on after camping in light rain, but did find that the surface of the tent fabric was very moist on the interior. Feel free to ask if you have any other questions.

I have used it camping this year set up on snow and it did fine. No leaks, I do recommend Using a pad or something under your sleeping gear to provide insulation i have also camped in some pretty strong wind and again it did fine. I'm very pleased with my tent. Hope this helps.

LOL I actually was thinking about the same thing for hot summer night camping. 1) the extending sections have those little values so I can't imagine getting water into them easily. 2) it will leak. 3) that is a lot of weight. If you are adventurous and have and extra $30 - try it and let us know. It is very comfortable as it is.

It leaked on us. It was useable but probably needed the seams sealed. It went through some major storms in the southeast. It is an inexpensive tent, so you get what you pay for.

Mine did not hold up well at all. First time I set it up and used it under what I would consider moderate winds (12-15mph with gusts to 20 mph) and I had a pole snap and tear open the tent material. All lines and pegs were used. I bought it last fall for family Christmas, used it in June (can't return) and not sure what to do with a torn tent with a broken pole. I am pretty disappointed with this Coleman tent.

thanks for the post. I do not know which type to buy. it is confusing that many reviews state that there are little or no leaks without a fly. I do like the instant design though. However, the pics of the hub at the top into which all the "rails" must fit makes the hub frail looking. we camp in rainy weather at times in SE U.S. and Colorado/Wyoming Rockies. my grandson just returned from camping in the Smoky mountains in a Coleman 3 person tent with a fly and said there was almost no leaking in rainy weather even though he had not added a seal to the seams.

No problem , but remember to point Horn down, so water does not get in it , in case you get caught in a rainstorm. Just follow the installation instructions which are pretty good.
