For two persons sleeping in a three-person tent. Will this work for cooling the tent down and what is the best way to hang it?

Yes and I would hang it at the highest point, it comes with a metal plate & magnet

If the ceiling is low it may help some. I found the fan kinda weak, I think due to the foam fan blades, and only used it once. Personally I would not recommend this fan.

It doesn't really cool it down per se, but it moves the air. I like mine and especially like the hum. I'm one of those that needs a little noise to sleep. Lol

It comes with a strong magnet that goes on the outside of the tent and the hook part magnetizes to the inside. Then you hook it onto that. Mine just hooks the the loop in my tent.

My Tent hand a hook at the top of the ceiling so i latched it to that. Worked great! I also liked that it has a light so that was good at night time.

Yes there are closures and small props that allow for airflow without compromising privacy. If you are looking at this tent you will not be dissapointed. As a two person tent it is perfect. Just enough room for two people to sleep comfortably. Be sure to get a ground tarp it will not only keep ground moisture away but will help preserve the tent base.

well it has an additional clip on the back to allow the airflow downward. But if you are using heat or A/C the fan draws the warm or cool air trapped in the roof area to be pushed into the sleeping areas. And it does help... I hope this answers your question.

Yes the tent does have a fan. I wouldn't rely on it to keep you cool. If you're directly underneath it you can feel a slight breeze. I think it's designed just to keep air moving.

I've only used the tent in warmer weather, but nights still were cool. With the sides zipped up, I can't imagine getting cold. For warm nights the unzipped sides will help you keep cool. I would imagine with a good sleeping bag you could stay warm on a chilly night.

Yes I think you could split the load-- with one person carrying the main tent and half the stakes, the other with the rain fly + stakes. Like I mentioned earlier, some better stakes might save you some weight....sometimes in the summer with no rain forecast we ditch the rain fly and its quite nice! Theres only one pole so youd have to fight over who takes that on :)

I've set it up by myself before, but I felt like I was putting a lot of pressure on one pole when standing it up. If there is wind, it's definitely a two person job. I'd suggest "practicing" in the backyard before the first trip with the tent.

I bought this to use at Burning Man in the desert. The thing is this tent isn't very insulated. I actually built a swamp cooler to cool it and the air just escaped as soon as it was pumped inside. I put reflective sheets on the sides facing the sun and above where I put my bed to keep it cool. Its better than your average tent because air runs right through it, but worse if you are trying to keep cool air in. Good Luck!

Since it restricts air flow it is warmer than the 3 sided shelters on the AT. Count on your warm sleeping bag though.

I would recommend it. One fan to duct the light and another for the carbon filter. I bought this as a "drying tent"Can't beat the price and great quality!!I put it up and down by myself. Love it

There is a fan and it worked quite well for us on a 16 day camping trip through New England. We did not spend time in the tent other than at night and it was cool out, but it was very helpful in reducing the clammy humidity one can get overnight usually.

In a Coleman 4 person tent we were able to hang the fan from the hook in the top middle and have the battery on the side of the tent on the floor. It worked, but it would have been nice to have another foot to attach the cord to the side of the tent so it wasn't hanging through the middle.

Try a Coleman free standing tent fan. It uses batteries and works really well

There is a metal tube surrounding the cot. I guess you could use tie wraps to join 2 of them, but sleeping in the middle would be very uncomfortable. They are not made to attach to each other.

The base of the fan is pretty heavy with the batteries in it. I'm not sure there would be a good place to put a hook in it, so that the fan would be positioned right, to blow air downward in your tent.

The fan is small and to tell the truth, we didn't get to use ours as the fan didn't work when we got it. We were compensated for this by Amazon. However, I had read some other reviews that stated the fan was more useful for circulation than for actually cooling you down. It's a good idea, but not sure how functional it actually is. We bought the tent more for it's size and reviews on it keeping you & your stuff dry when it rains.

I have a queen sized double stack Coleman air mattress and it fits in with ease. Plus room to move around the bed and stand up fully,though I'm only 5'3", there's enough room for a 6ft person to also get around with ease. Lanterns can be placed on the floor or there's a small hook on the top for mini lanterns. Nothing too heavy though. There's like 2 extra feet of room on each side of the air mattress. I also use fans at festivals... In a normal tent you die in the heat, but with the rain flap off and a small fan the tent stays cool because of all the mesh and a good breeze. You won't regret buying this tent. I've used it more than I can count since I bought it last year it's roomy and tough, holds up in terrential winds and rain even half-assed steaked down.
