How does the tent hold up in the wind and rain? Is it waterproof? Will it withstand strong winds?

Mike, we just went camping with this tent for the first time two weeks ago. At 5 am the sky let loose a torrential rainfall, complete with lots of thunder and lightning. And it happened the next night, too. The tent was completely dry, withstood some strong winds, (of course it's important to stake it well), and dried up quickly the last day (which was sunny) that we were there. The fly is a little tricky to put on, but the rest was easy to set up. I'd recommend this tent to anyone, anytime. Be sure to use a good waterproof tarp underneath as well.

I would have to say "no" to that. This tent will no keep out the cold, but the rain, and if its set up properly it can withstand wind. Hope that helps.

I was camping last month. Lows down into the low 30s. Had the vents and fly shut down tight and was very warm. I haven't been in the tent during a wind storm yet but have had 3/4 inch of rain in an hour and not a drop got in. I love this tent.

It did fine in the wind. We had one day with strong winds that would make the tent bend a bit but it never pulled loose from the stakes in the ground. We didn't even used the sandbags.

It will do OK in wind. My previous one was anchored to the ground by burying the feet and held up OK in 70 MPH gusts. heavy snow can be a problem as they get older and the tarp starts to sag a little. I tend to go out with a broom and bump off the snow from the underside if we get more than an inch or so.

I use the tent without stakes but it's not that windy where I am. Also, if it rains, the water comes right thru. Cool, big tent as long as weather is perfect.

If you are in low wind conditions, the tent sits just fine by itself but it is a light tent that would easily be blown away in high-winds. I've used 550 cord or zip-ties on occasion to secure the tent to the cross-bars at both ends of the cot through the tent's grommets. The rain fly clips onto the tent at the corners and there are additional nylon loops on the rain fly for blustery days. I have rarely had to secure the tent though. My gear is usually enough to keep it in place. Hope this helps.

most likely, it's a great tent but you might need better stakes for snow or high wind. structurally it should be plenty strong.

This tent gets ALL its stability from the stakes. When properly staked it can withstand strong winds. Without proper staking, it is very unstable. If you have it up for a long time, periodically tighten the stakes and cords.

Yes, This tent is very stable in a slow wind also. The heating question is up to you,we used electric heaters.

I have only used this tent twice and both times have been during torrential down pours. I have had absolutely NO problems with water inside the tent. Assembled correctly, the tent will withstand the elements.

It's a very cool tent but I don't think it will withstand that much wind. At least I have not attempted to drive with it still on.

Is fine in our back yard with strong winds, have placed small bricks in corners, but have had no problems. It comes with small tent pegs, but I wouldn't trust them to strong winds. No cover for the front. Live in high desert, so rain hasn't been a problem.

The tent is very easy to set up and take down, and it comfortably sleeps six adults. In general, tents don't have any insulation for cold weather -- that's a sleeping bag issue. However, it's definitely wind and water proof. We slept in it for three nights in North Carolina in October - it rained one night - and we were very happy with how well it held up. I would buy spray-on sealant to waterproof the seams as the tent get older, which I do for all tents.

No. This tent sits securely on its own. We've never used it during a storm or high winds, though.

I have been in 2 thunderstorms with some winds and it has held up. I used the 4 corner stakes, 4 rope tie stakes provided which are attached, and I use an extra top tarp over the back of my truck where I sleep anchored with bungee cords to my roof rack and then anchored to front of Coleman Screen room with bungees for extra water protection. Without proper securing I'm sure it would fly in the wind as it is very light weight. I love this product but for camping long term and to endure all weather conditions which may arise I do secure it very well.
