We had a small electric one that came with a Coleman air bed. It worked perfectly.

I would honestly look at a tent cot from KampRite, if you aren't moving around much location wise, it is much better, off the ground, better to lay on and easy to set up.

In my opinion it is better. Much easier to assemble & repack! We have had ours 3 years now & are very pleased with it's durability !We go camping & to beach often.

It is flimsy but not too heavy. Go with the Coleman. It fell apart the second time I used it

We have been very happy with the unit and are considering getting another one. I haven't used other makes/models so I can't give you a comparison.

I'm going to assume so. Since buying the gasone stove I have been seeing the same stove from different companies all over. The Coleman appears to be exact same design.

I'd get a better pump. This is good for a smaller mattress. Mine are 74 X 39 X 9 and it takes a bit to inflate it. Your mattress would not only take you quite a while but depending on how firm you want your mattress ( to me ) it won't inflate it to be anywhere near firm. Coleman's duel action hand pump ( $12 ) would be a better choice for a low cost pump. Don't be fooled because it's a hand pump. I wish I would have bought it rather than this one. Read the reviews for the battery pump and you'll see almost all say ok for small mattresses and the hand pump reviews say it inflates quicker and can inflate the mattress to be firmer ( and no batteries to buy ).

This is the best pump I've used so far of 6 different pumps. I have a sevylor raft that'll hold 2-3 adults, a smaller raft 1-2 adults, two tubes and a double stack queen coleman camping mattress. it comes with attachments to accommodate all valve types, has two pumping modes (controlled by a twist knob on top) which performs dual pump up/down or easy mode just down. you can also detach the hose and put on the other side for deflate mode which is SUPER handy when dealing with rolling up rafts or camping mattresses. in a store these usually go for around $50-70. this one performs better and is half the cost.

I haven't had an oppurtunity to use the cabin tent yet, I'm planning on taking it out this July. From previous experiences the dome is the way to go if you are going to be in an exposed location, fortunatly the area I will be camping in will have minimum exposure to wind and ample anchor points.

This tent is easy to set up. It is a great tent. I recommend ordering the Slumberjack footprint also. If not get a 5x9 cheap tarp to lay on the ground first. The Slumberjack is the best two person tent I have found overall. Have fun camping! Send me pics. LOL

I bought this tent for my Dad - 76 years old. He still loves to camp but got tired of arranging tent poles and building his tent in the dark. This Coleman tent is truly "Instant" set up. It literally unfolds and pops up - including a small rain fly. Very sturdy in moderate winds. I would stake down in strong winds. This tent is highly recommended for anyone looking for an super easy and yet durable 3 season tent and is not worried about weight. It is not a backpacking tent.

Hi Natalie, sorry I didn't reply sooner. I've used my Coleman 2-person a few times with just me and it handled pretty well. Since it's longer, it won't manuever quite as well as a smaller single, but as long as you're not making a lot of tight turns I wouldn't think it would be a problem. FYI, I bought the double because my 20-year old daughter (150 lbs) has cerebral palsy and can't do many outdoor activities, but she can ride in the front seat and I paddle from the back. I've also taken along a large male friend who couldn't paddle due to shoulder issues and was able to handle all the paddling--we weren't going very fast but were able to keep up with some others fairly well. Let me know if you'd like more info.

My Coleman and the electrical attachment are in storage for the winter. I will not be able to obtain them until June. Without both the cooler and the electrical connector I can not compare them. Sorry

It is great! Coleman makes a great product. We take it camping with us and can play cards under the canopy while it's pouring - this canopy does NOT leak!

The material is a different color, seems quite sturdy. I know it didn't leak when I was in a significant rainstorm. Water went between my homemade tent footprint and the tent, and no water came in. I like this tent far more than Coleman's. It's built better.
