In this video, Camping Guidance Channel takes a close look at the Coleman Skydome 4-Person Tent, evaluating its setup process, spaciousness, comfort, and more. The author purchased this tent from Amazon, providing viewers with a detailed unboxing experience. The package includes a convenient carry bag, gear loft, tent body with attached poles, blue rainfly, stakes, a rainfly pole, and a foot mat.
Setting up the Coleman Skydome Tent begins with laying the tent body on the ground and connecting the black fiberglass poles at the back of the tent. The poles are attached to the tent's flooring, and they are then crisscrossed at the top. By using the center pole clips and attaching them to the fiberglass poles, the tent structure is secured. The next step involves draping the rainfly over the tent, ensuring that the Coleman logos are correctly positioned. S-hooks and loops are used to secure the rainfly, and the tent body is then staked down with four stakes while the guylines are attached.
The entire setup process, conducted by Camping Guidance Channel, took approximately nine and a half minutes. Taking down the Skydome Tent is the reverse of setting it up, and the author completes this task in approximately ten minutes. The tent's peak height measures 59 inches, making it difficult for an individual of average height to stand upright. The inside dimensions of the tent are slightly smaller than marketed, measuring approximately 7 feet 10 inches in length and 6 feet 11 inches in width. Despite this, the tent still comfortably accommodates four regular sleeping pads or two double pads, leaving minimal space for camping gear.
