- I've just set up
the Coleman Instant Up 4P Gold Series Tent,
and I wanna take you for a walkthrough
of all the features.
Let's go have a look.
(smooth, funky hip-hop music)
Ben from Snowy's here guys
and we are at the Brownhill Creek Tourist Park
here in Adelaide's eastern suburbs, today.
It's only 15 minutes from the city,
it's 15 minutes from the beach,
and Adelaide Hills just to my right over here.
They've given us a nice shady spot today
to show you some products,
and I've got the Coleman Instant Up Gold 4P Tent
set up here,
and I wanna take you for a walkthrough.
I'm gonna start with the most unique feature
on these tents, though,
and that is this awning on the side here.
Now this is actually removable,
there's a zipper that runs along the top of the window here.
I can take this off
and put it on the other side of the tent if I want,
there's the same zipper on the other side.
You can't put it in the rear,
but you can put it on either side.
On each side of the--
the three rear sides of the tent,
or each side and the rear,
is a window like this which has a storm flap.
I've got this rolled open here at the moment,
we can close it up for complete protection
against bad weather.
Or there are guy ropes on the corners here,
that enable us, if we want,
to actually peg it out as a small sort of awning
over the window to give us weather-protected ventilation.
Now that feature's on the rear
and the same window on the other side as well,
so you've got three sides of ventilation
plus the door at the front.
Now looking at the bottom here,
this funny little cone-shaped sort of thing
is part of the circle ventilation system.
That's gonna make more sense
when I show you the vent on the inside,
but it's all part of creating more airflow inside the tent.
Step back around to the front of the tent here,
I wanna show you the front awning and the entrance.
Now I've actually got the awning set up at the front here.
Now if this awning wasn't set up,
this could get zipped closed over here
for a completely weather-protected space,
or I can roll this up at the top here,
and have it out of the way altogether.
Now there's five awning poles that you get
with your Coleman Instant Up Gold Series Tent,
I've used two in here,
but you can actually have a third one here if you like,
there's one longer pole
so I can create a peaked awning here.
I've actually used the long pole
on the side awning over here to create a peak.
There's also a Velcro strip on the end of these awnings;
now this is to attach to a Coleman gazebo,
you could attach to other gazebos
but Coleman have got the long strip here to match up.
This can sit here--
if I had a gazebo sitting here,
this can tuck in up underneath the gazebo
to create a seamless entry from your gazebo
through to your tent.
Now, the Gold Series tents are made
with Coleman's premium range of fabrics,
and this is a 75 Denier, 185 thread count fabric,
with a ripstop feature inside for the fly,
and it has a 3000 millimetre waterhead,
so it's got tonnes of water protection for you
in just about any downpour.
The inner of the tent is also made of a polyester,
I think its a 75 Denier polyester here as well.
What's unique about the Gold Series tents from Coleman
is this 420 Denier, polyoxford PVC floor.
It's a 420 Denier polyester
with a PVC backing on it,
and it doesn't have that crinkly feel
that a polyethylene floor has, plus it's really tough.
Now this is a steel frame,
throughout it's got plastic knuckles
and the hub at the top is also plastic.
And the awning poles that come
with your Instant Up 4P are also steel.
The mesh throughout the tent is an ultra-fine mesh,
there's a double door at the front here
that's got a polyester panel and an ultra-fine mesh panel,
and all the windows and the lower-level vents are also mesh.
And the last thing I wanna mention is this doormat
that comes with your tent,
it's got six little peg points,
I haven't pegged it down here today,
but that's just a shade mesh
that you can peg in under the vestibule here.
I don't need it today, 'cause I've used a ground sheet,
this is a 2.4 by 3.6 metre ground sheet,
it fits pretty neatly on this tent
but I have had to fold it a little
to fit underneath where the vestibule gets pegged down.
Now on, this vestibule gives about 60 centimetres of space
at the front of the tent here, protected space,
not really enough room to get dressed in,
but enough room for your shoes
or to store anything out of the weather.
Let's step inside the tent and have a look.
Now this is a double door at the front of the tent here,
it's got both mesh and solid panels on it
so we can seal it up completely if we like
or just leave the mesh panel open for ventilation,
or alternatively like I'm doing now
is to open it right up so we've got
unlimited access to the tent now.
So at the top of the tent here,
we've got a little gear loft.
Now this is removable, it's got little hooks here
that we can take it off if we don't wanna use it.
But when it is in place, it's a great place to keep
mobile phones or keys,
or even you could put a tent light in there
so it would shine down through the mesh.
Above that, and we'd have to remove the gear loft to use it,
is a lantern hook.
Now this lantern hook works with these hooks
that run down the side of the tent here,
down to the bottom corner where there's a red zip,
which is a power access point,
and we can have 240 or 12-volt power
coming into the tent and power the lights inside.
Working back up the side of the tent here,
we've got storage pockets on this side here,
it's got three little compartments in it.
And if we just cross the other side of the tent
to diagonally opposite,
the same pocket again for storage.
So just above these pockets is a window.
Now, there's one at the sides, one at the rear,
and another one on the other side here.
Now these have all got internally adjustable privacy panels,
these two are rolled open, this one's closed.
Now they zip from the bottom down,
we unzip that, we can roll it down,
we can see on the outside there
we've got our storm flap closed,
and we can just tuck that in there
so that allows ventilation in.
If we had the storm flap open like this one here,
we could zip it partway up,
it still allows a bit of privacy down low here
but we get high-level ventilation there.
As we move further down the tent,
this is where the circle ventilation comes into play.
These vents on the side here
can be closed up on cold nights,
or if we undo them, it allows ventilation
on this side and the other side as well
at a really low level
to allow lots of airflow through the tent
to minimise any condensation and moisture that builds up.
These can be rolled up and secured by the little tabs here,
or done up completely for protection.
In terms of the space inside the tent here,
Coleman says it's a 2.4 metre tent.
It's 2.35 by 2.35 inside, roughly,
about 1.9 metres high at the peak,
and when you walk through the door there,
it's a little over 150 centimetres
just to give you an idea of the space inside.
So I can stand up inside here and get changed,
there's room for a family of four, tight,
but realistically it's a comfortable space for two.
I've got some airbeds that I'm gonna put in here
to give you an idea of the space,
I've got two singles, and a double-high queen
that I'm gonna put in here, let me go and grab them.
So that's two XL single airbeds in here,
now these are about 187 centimetres long
and about 99 centimetres in width.
They're up against the edges there
and I've got about 30 to 40 centimetres
of space down the middle,
plus some storage at the end there,
so they fit quite comfortably.
I'm gonna grab the double-high queen
to put in here as well 'cause that also fits
with a bit of storage around the edges.
That is a double-high queen airbed
inside the four person tent.
Now, it's just touching on each side there,
I've got about probably 60 centimetres of space,
maybe a little bit more down this side here,
and not much space, 10 centimetres or so
at the end there,
'cause of the sloped sides, it does touch the ends,
but hey, it does fit,
and makes for a pretty comfortable sleeping space.
That's pretty much all the features
of the Coleman Instant Up 4P Gold Tent
it is a little beauty, it's got lots of features
and the really unique feature
is this awning on the side here.
Great thing is that if the sun's
on this side in the morning,
I can set my awning up here.
If the sun's on that side in the afternoon,
I can switch the awning on that side
and have sheltered space over there.
You can grab these online at snowys.com.au,
lowest prices every day.
Thanks for watching, we'll see you next time.
