The Sundome 4-Person is the cheapest way into a family tent here: Coleman lists it at $117.99 and had it on sale for $87.99 when we checked. The 9 by 7 foot floor fits one queen-size air bed, and Coleman includes a rainfly, welded corners and inverted seams to keep water out. The frame is rated by Coleman to withstand winds over 35 mph, and the maker says setup takes about 10 minutes. Large windows and a ground vent push warm air up and out, which is why Coleman pitches it for warm-weather camping, and an E-Port lets you run an extension cord inside. Listed weight is 10.4 lbs. The price shows in the details: there is one door, no vestibule for gear, and a 1-year limited warranty, against two doors and vestibules on every other tent here. Coleman's page also gives two different center heights, so check the box if headroom matters. For summer weekends at a drive-in site, it does the job for little money.
