Coleman Max 13' x 9' Cabin

This tent is worth every penny spent on it. It recently survived two camping trips 2 weeks apart, both with crazy wind and lots of rain. The tent held up beautifully and we stayed dry and warm. This tent is really well made and very roomy (which is especially great for families).

My husband who is 6'3'' loves the fact that he can actually stand up in it!! We were able to put a queen size blow-up mattress and a pack-n-play crib in it with plenty of room for walking around and other luggage. I definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a durable, spacious tent for a great price!

My husband was mad initially because I bought this tent and he didn’t think we needed it. He thought it was a better idea to try to get an inflatable air mattress, a portable crib, and all of our stuff in an 8’x8’ dome tent. He’s grateful now. Not only did we have plenty of room, but my husband is 6’3” and he had no trouble walking around in this tent. We went camping with our family and I think everyone else will be buying the same tent for the next camping season. I think it is well worth the money.

I needed a starter family tent for an upcoming camping trip, after looking & reading reviews we decided on this tent. I decided to give it a test run in the backyard, I was able to set-up the tent by myself in about 20 minutes, the set-up & instructions were easy. The tent has plenty of room for our family (2 adult 2 kids). I was able two put two queen size air mattresses inside with room to spare. The 2nd day we had a good rain storm and the tent did not leak at all. The only item I was disappointed with was the divider wall which the tabs broke off, but I really wasn't going to use the wall anyway.

We bought this tent after a friend had got it. We just had a baby this past winter and in our old tent it was crib, and bed. No room for anything. Once saw this tent, it was a must. We got it and we have room for our growing family. Our 6 yr old has her own bed for once camping, the crib fits, and 2 more twin matresses for us. We even had room for our luggage with room to walk around. It was great to because my husband is 6'4" and he was able to stand in every part of the tent.

We bought this to replace our family tent that finally wore out.
We used this 2 weekends in a row. Each time able to set up in less than 20 minutes, once by headlights.
Very spacious, very well constructed and the door is a genius idea. The only 2 downsides we found was the step out the door (ok for adults, was a little difficult for the 8 yr old in the middle of the night) and one of the zippers around the slide-thru ripped(our dog thought it was his doggy door and pushed his way thru).
We were forunate enough not to have rain either weekend we used it so I can't comment on leaks but the rainfly is very generous and still allows for air flow.
We did get a few other campers stop and comment on our tent. They were in awe of the door and the interior space.
Overall, we are very satisfied with the tent and cannot wait to use it next summer.

This tent was very easy to put up! Two adults put this up in 15 minutes. Plenty of head room for tall adults. We put four cots in the tent and had plenty of room to store extras. I would buy extra heavy duty stakes but the ones provided were fine for good weather. The room divider wasnt' really good but also not needed. The tent fits a family of four perfect. It would be a little crowed with more than five unless you only used sleeping bags. Overall this tent is a perfect fit four our family of four!

My wife, son and I were using a 4-man tent when we camped last year in Italy (also a Coleman) and were quite comfortable with it prior to purchasing "THE MAX". :-) The turning point for us was the need/desire to stand completely upright while dressing and the desire for more space for our clothes. Now we have more than enough room vertically and from wall to wall. After reading some of the reviews I saw that others were having issues with the door zipper and didn't even think to just take out the curved pole. I will try that next time. This tent provides great protection from the rain and wind but if you like to camp in chilly weather, bring a few more blankets because Jack Frost does invite himself in. I've set the tent up by myself with absolutely no problems so with help it goes up in less than ten minutes. There are plenty of windows in the tent with no problems with the zippers. We will. however be purchasing an extra tarp (foot) for protection of the bottom of the tent becasue we want this one to last for a very long time! Great bang for the buck!

My wife, two boys, and I had outgrown our previous dome tent and were looking for a good cabin tent to replace it. Being in Texas, we wanted to go the cabin route because it would be cooler and allow for more air flow. After much research I decided on this tent. And it is AMAZING. Here are the pros/cons I found from our first trip with it, plus some recommendations.

Pros:
1. First and foremost, this tent is SUPER easy to set up. In my trial run of setting it up for the first time at my house, it took my wife and I about 10 minutes to put in all the poles and raise it up in our garage. From that point on it's just how fast are you at staking it down.
2. Very roomy and plenty of height to walk around. I am 5'11'' and I had plenty of room to walk around the tent without hitting my head on anything. We had two queen air mattresses and had plenty of storage/walking room.
3. Lots of circulation with the many windows it has. At night we were very comfortable while sleeping, even got chilly at times. In the searing Texas heat you can't exactly take nap in there during the day, but you can at least walk into it and do something for a few minutes without getting drenched in sweat upon entry.
4. The hinged door makes getting in and out so quick and easy.
5. It rained on us the entire first night we were there and we stayed completely dry. The floor seams being 6 inches from the ground helps tremendously with this.
6. When you are ready to pack up and leave, this tent actually fits back in the bag! It has a little expansion zipper at the bottom of the bag that allows you more room.

Cons:
1. There are only 6 guy lines on the tent and they are on the bottom portion (see more details in Recommendations).
2. I know the stakes they provide with tents these days are usually puny, but these are incredibly puny. About a third the thickness of the provided stakes with our last tent. I bought plenty of new stakes to keep this puppy staked down.

Recommendations:

1. The rain fly has 8 guy lines and you really need to have it on to achieve the best stability. When we were setting up camp, a strong wind was blowing through right before the storm hit. When we got the tent raised up and staked down prior to getting the rain fly on, it was having trouble staying up from the wind. When we finally got the rain fly on and and all the guy lines staked down, it was sturdy as a rock.
2. I applied a silicone sealant to all the seams inside and on both sides of the rain fly during my trial setup. Totally worth it as we did not get a drop inside the tent during that storm.
3. Concerning the hinged door, there isn't as much velcro on the bottom part of the door, so it's best to zip it up a little on the bottom if you're going to be away for awhile...just to keep the bugs out.
4. If you use air mattresses to sleep on, make sure you have a way of getting an air pump inside the tent to blow them up. The door isn't big enough to get a blown up mattress through. I bought a rechargeable pump for this task before our trip.

This tent is everything you could ask for. First weekend we used it it was the only tent that stayed dry on the inside, everyone else at the site had to sleep in ours the rest of the weekend. The fact that the floor seam comes 6 inches up the tent rather than the floor this keeps most water out. Plenty of room on the inside, i'm 6' tall and am able to walk around entire inside of tent w/o hitting my head at all. Easy set up as well. I was able to set it up by myself in 15 minutes, and w/ 1 other person in less than 10. If you need a roomy tent, this is a MUST BUY!!
