I tend to travel solo, this thing would be a palace for one. I would probably put the bed parallel to the door, across the back side. I really like that you could leave the awning up, but still close off the door to the weather. Lots of great set-up options, depending on your weather conditions. It's tall enough, you might even be able to use a low camp chair inside it. You folks do a really good job with these videos. The vast majority of the stuff I can't get here in Canada ( unless I want to import it myself), but it's still great to see all the great camping gear you have in Australia.
Its clear to me the quality of any of Bens productions is the most honest performance and production of any available product at the time. And I think this tent is a good bet for Moreton Island.
Hey Snowy's Fam :) How water proof would these Tents be? I know Ben said 1500mm.... but in the real world what would that be? a storm? occasional rain? light drizzle only? Cheers :)
1500mm should keep you dry in all but the absolute worst of weather, Dons Shed. I've had fabrics on a different tent rated at 1500mm keep me dry in tropical storms, this tent will be no different. ~ Ben
The standard camp mat thickness is 10cm for self inflating air mats, depending on the brand & quality thats generally more than enough for comfort. ~ Lauren
The black backing appears to only be on the fly. Am thinking if you use it without the fly in summer then it would offer nothing over the cheaper version. Is that correct.
Essentially, yeah, but putting the coating on the inner fabric would reduce breathability. Further to this, having a fly on in summer gives you a sort of insulation barrier as the sun is hitting the fly rather than directly on the fabric inner. The most comfortable setup in terms of climate control for summer is to put up all windows and vents, and put the awning out to cast as much shade as possible whilst maximising airflow through the tent. ~ Ben
Is it my imagination or are the zipper gussets on the wrong surface. They appear to be on the window flap facing up when they should be on the tent panel facing down to protect the zipper from water egress... This seems to be a design flaw in adverse wet weather conditions potentially funneling water into the tent through the zipper fabric and zipper teeth ...
This is a question I raised when these first came to market, Bruce, but it has not been a problem and we have sold a heck of a lot of the original version Swagger which have the same design. ~ Ben
Not sure about that sorry! You're best bet is to contact Coleman directly and see if they have any distributors there. Alternatively have a look somewhere like eBay where you may be able to find an seller with international shipping ~ Lauren
Would this be warmer than the normal version in winter? I’m considering getting the normal version for a camping weekend coming next month but I am worried I’d be cold in it..
The Darkroom feature won't add any warmth, Rachel, it's best to use good sleeping gear rather than rely on your tent for warmth. We've provided some good info here - th-cam.com/video/527OcwiPwH8/w-d-xo.html. ~ Ben

Thanks so much for watching!
You'd definitely have room for a camp chair - possible a small table aswell.

Thanks for the kudos, Mark. ~ Ben
We have one of these for the kids (Fits 2 perfectly with room to spare). Perfect for them while the wife and I enjoy the 6P Pop Up all to ourselves =)
There's loads of people using these for their kids, thanks for your feedback, Paul. ~ Ben
I would love if they just sold the fly to retro fit on our swagger.
You can try contacting Coleman Australia directly - they may have a spare fly available

What would be a comfortable air mattress thickness that would fit, preferably queen sized ?

Does this tent have a mesh footprint like the other Coleman Instant Up tents?
Nothing specific for this tent, Gryphon, you can always use a smaller sized OZtrail Ultramesh tarp though - www.snowys.com.au/ultramesh-tarp. ~ Ben
I love the way Coleman is going. Pretty innovative. Time to put it to use. Its a very good price I bought for from Snowys Outdoors.
Happy camping @Geeth Perera!
~ Lauren
how can I get this tent in Dubai or India?
Not sure about that sorry! You're best bet is to contact Coleman directly and see if they have any distributors there.

미국에서도 주문하면배송이
가능합니까?
우리는 호주 내에서만 배송합니다. 죄송합니다. 미국에서는 이것을 구할 수 없다고 생각합니다. ~ 벤
