Coleman Weathermaster Tent: Kamp-Rite Double Tent Cot Review

Average Reviews:
4.0 out of 5 stars

(More customer reviews)I will give you a bit of info on me so that others who were in my boat will be able to better understand.Im a large guy @ 6'5" and 330lbs.So for those of you wondering how it will hold up to us big guys, it did well.I never felt like it was under too much strain and was also long enough.I bought this tentcot with intentions of using it on monthly Boy Scout campouts.We generally dont hike in to our sleeping quarters otherwise you might be leaving this at home unless you have a pack mule to carry it for you.That was one of the biggest issues, but I knew this before getting it, so it was an expected problem.I have a truck, so it fits in the bed of it easily, if you have a small car that the rear seat doesnt fold down to slide it through you will be strapping this thing to the roof, it is large(see product for dimensions).I did buy an air mattress to fit inside, and fits almost perfectly to the inside dimensions, only problem with that for us longer people, with the approx. 8" of height added from the mattress and with the gradual taper from the ends of the tent, you lose about 6" of length(roughly).In otherwords your head and feet will be touching the ends at full extension if you are 6'5" or taller.I dont see it as a problem for me because I dont sleep at full extension, although I did not use this during my campout yet to see how it worked.I took the tentcot on its first excursion to Woodbadge(Scout Leadership Training), and it just happened to be in the low 20's so it got a good test, as well as a little bit of rain, but it held up well, and was very comfortable.Something else I need to mention is there is a bar that runs through the middle of the bed, its as if there were 2 cots stacked side by side, so if you were thinking of getting the double so that you could spraul out, you will definitely need the air mattress.I like this bar, because im a side sleeper and dont roll around much when sleeping so it was very comfy.I used the other side to set up all of my camping gear(backpack, clothes, lantern etc...).I also bought the underneath gear storage bag, i thought i would use this for my shoes and things that might be dirty or smell, to keep the tent clean, but also keeping the stuff from getting soaked in the rain if left outside.Its also very easy to setup.I do recommend practice at home, but after one try at home, I saw how easy it was, and you will always be the 1st one finished setting up your tent!As I use it more, I may notice more good or bad things, but for now I am very pleased with my product.And everyone that sees it will want one!

Product Description:
If you've done a fair amount of camping, you know that sleeping on a cot inside a roomy tent is far more comfortable than sleeping on the ground. Now you can combine both luxuries with the double-size Kamp-Rite tent cot, a fully framed and enclosed cot with nylon sides and tie-up no-see-um mesh doors and windows--just like a personal tent. The legs of the cot are suspended a full 11 inches off the ground, keeping you away from moisture, snakes, and rodents, so you needn't worry about waking up with a mouse inside your sleeping bag. More significantly, the cot is roomy and comfortable, with plenty of space for two people to stretch out and sleep in style. (The double version is longer than a queen bed and almost as wide, with plenty of headroom thanks to the tent's dome styling.) Simply situate the tent cot on any piece of level ground, toss in your favorite sleeping bag or blanket, and you're ready for a great night of sleep.
The tent cot's frame is made of lightweight yet durable aluminum, with anti-vibration aluminum nuts and bolts that won't loosen over time or rust. The "tent" portion of the product features durable 420-denier nylon fabric with no-see-um doors and windows that open on all four sides. When the outer nylon doors are zipped open and the interior no-see-um mesh doors are zipped closed, the tent cot is 100-percent insect-proof yet still encourages 360-degree airflow--a must for warmer climates. The durable one-piece Cordura nylon-fabric sleeping surface, meanwhile, is firm and level, helping you sleep soundly throughout the night. And should you encounter severe stormy weather, simply set up the "total encapsulation" rain fly.
Easy to set up and transport thanks to the heavy-duty carrying bag, the double-size tent cot measures 84 by 40 by 53 inches (W x H x D) when set up and 53 by 7 by 31 inches when folded. The cot also comes in alternate original and oversized one-person sizes and is backed by a one-year warranty against defects.
