Free Shade Awning with Coleman Instant Up Evo 4P & 6P Tents $299-$469 + Delivery ($0 to Most Areas) @ Snowys

30

Snowys is doing a repeat of a previous offer on Coleman Instant Up Evo tents, with a free Shade awning included.

Much better value than the free ground mesh footprint they were throwing in for the last promo.

I have been looking at tents for the last two weeks and have been waiting for a deal on these after some car camping advice

Silver vs Gold
Gold 4P Tent Features

Some recommendations from @pasey25, but of course pick to your needs & requirements.

The north star 10p and 8p is big. Too big for 2-3 people. Lots off effort to setup and pack down.
I have a tent the size of the 10p north star that we used to use when the kids were very young, and they could be setup in a crib and with almost all our stuff inside the tent. It was huge pita to setup and pack away compared to the instant up 4/6p. I haven’t used it in probably 7-8 years.
So now I have a 4p gold and a 6p silver.

The 4p gold I use when camping with mates and sleeping by myself
Then when we camp as a family we have the 4p gold for the kids and the wife and I share the 6p silver.
Best decision ever.

Setting up the 4/6p is a real breeze compared to the bigger tent. Setting up these two takes a small fraction of the time of a single bigger tent.
For storing stuff now use the car and I have a Oztrail gazebo with walls for a table chairs esky cooking gear etc
Even with setting up these two tents and the gazebo it is till easier overall than the bigger tent.
If you want a little room go for the 6p instant up. You won’t be sorry. The bag is a bit longer than the 4p so make sure it fits in your car

  • Really up instantly?

    • Just like instant noodles.

    • Like me me in my teens

  • Not a bad deal, if you don't need dark room features. Having young kids means dark room is a must, unfortunately. Never seeing deals for Coleman tents of late.

    • I considered the darkrooms but they also have pros & cons. Figured for camping it's okay to have early starts anyway.

      Apparently they get hot in the day time and the extra processing of the fabric can make it more brittle.

      Also from @pasey25

      The north star darkroom is good but has extra components (the big vestibule) on the 4p and 6p the significantly increase setup time.
      For light control in my non darkroom 4p gold I use an eye mask.
      One of my mates has the 4p darkroom north star and it takes more than twice as long to setup than my 4p gold
