- Hey folks,
I've got Coleman's Instant Up 8P Gold Series tent set up
behind me here.
And I'm about to take you on a personal tour of it.
Let's check it out.
(RNB music)
Barefoot summer is here guys down under,
BIG4 West Beach Holiday Park
right in Adelaide's Western suburbs.
A stone's throw to the beach over my shoulder here,
20 minutes to the city that way.
The park's full of facilities,
there's something for Mum, Dad, and the kids here.
And it's really close to the city,
so it's an easy getaway.
They've given us some space today to set up some products
and give you a run through.
I've got the Coleman Instant Up 8P Gold
set up behind me here.
I wanna give you a walk around
and show you all the features.
Let's start by looking at the outside.
The first thing at the front here is this awning.
Now this awning can be zipped closed,
to close this vestibule in, in really bad weather.
Alternatively, it comes with three awning poles,
one taller one, so we can create a peaked awning
out the front here for a shaded entrance to the tent.
Now there's two windows on each side
of the Coleman Instant Up Gold 8P tent.
Now I've got the storm flaps rolled up here.
We can roll them closed for complete protection
or there are guy ropes in the corners to allow us
to peg it out as a bit of a protective shade awning
over the top of the windows.
So, these two windows are also mirrored on the other side.
At the base of the tent here,
these sort of cone shaped things,
it's part of the Coleman circle ventilation system,
allows a bit more airflow up underneath the tent here,
and there's an internally adjustable vent inside
that we'll show you shortly.
If we go into the rear of the tent,
one more window at the back here.
Once again I've got this storm flap rolled open.
This also zips closed for full protection.
And also, features guy ropes in the corners,
so we can peg it out
as an awning over the window if we like.
I wanna show you the fabrics
that the Gold Series is made of.
We'll step back around the front to have a look at those.
Now these are Coleman's Gold Series fabrics in this tent.
So this fly sheet is a 75 denier, 185 thread count,
ripstop polyester.
The interior of the test here is also 75 denier polyester,
doesn't have the ripstop feature in that one there though.
(unzips)
The mesh that's used throughout is an ultra fine mesh,
I don't think, I'm not sure it's a midge proof or not.
Probably not quite,
but it's certainly a nice, fine, soft, fine mesh.
(zips)
The floor of the tent is what's called
a 420 denier, polyoxford PVC.
So the outer,
well the main fabric is a 420 denier polyester,
but it's got this PVC backing on it.
It doesn't have that crinkly sort of feel that a tarp does,
so it's a nice soft floor, and it rolls up really easily
when you put it away in the bag.
And the frame is a steel frame.
And it's got plastic knuckles in the top,
and a plastic hub at the top as well.
The one last item I'll mention is this little doormat here
that comes with your tent.
I haven't got it pegged out
'cause I've got this set up on top of a ground sheet here,
at the moment.
This is ground sheet is 2.44 metres by 4.88 metres,
so it fits pretty well.
If I didn't have that there, I could peg this little doormat
this is just a shay cloth material, out at the front here,
for a bit of a protected entrance to the tent.
That's pretty much all the features on the outside,
let's step inside and have a look.
(unzips)
Now the door to get in the tent here
is actually a double door.
It's got both solid and mesh panels,
so we can leave it open if we like for the breeze.
Alternatively, we can leave it open all the way
and just seal it or tie it back
with these tabs on the corner here.
Now if we look at the height of the tent,
the door where I've just walked through
is about 150 centimetres.
But once I'm inside, I've got 190 centimetres of height
at the peak here.
And I've got about that same amount of height
for a reasonable amount of space
around the centre of the tent.
So, I've got plenty of room to stand up in here.
If I start with the features at the top here,
this is a little lance and hook
that we can use to hang lights or whatever we like up here.
That works in association with these clips
that run down the side of the tent here
to hold a power cord in place,
right down to the base here,
there's a red zip in the corner which allows an access point
for a 12 or 240 volt power cord to come into the tent.
Now if I start at the front half of the tent here,
there's a window on each side.
Now there's windows pockets and vents on both sides.
So that is also mirrored on this side over here.
Now these windows feature internally
adjustable privacy screens.
They zip from the bottom up,
so we can close it right up
if you want to keep the breeze out or to keep the warmth in.
We can just leave it partway open
if we want to allow high-level ventilation,
or we roll it open completely and use this tab to secure it
so it doesn't flap around in the breeze.
Moving a little further down underneath the window,
is a storage pocket here.
So there's three compartments to this,
a thin one on each side,
and a larger one in the middle there,
so that's mirrored on the other side of the tent.
And then at the very base at the tent here is
Coleman's circle ventilation.
The moment that's zipped open,
there are little tabs here we can use to secure that
fabric just to stop it flapping around if we liked.
Or if we zip it completely closed, once again,
it stops the breeze from coming through the tent.
But I'm not in warm weather.
This really helps ventilation throughout the tent,
it stops it feeling too stuffy.
Now all the features in the front of the tent here
are also mirrored in this back section of the tent,
so we've got another window on each side,
another pocket on each side, and another vent
on each side down here.
Plus, another window in the rear here,
which also has an internally adjustable privacy screen.
So there's plenty of ventilation in this tent.
The last feature I want to show you inside is this
internal room divider, which is actually removable.
Now there's tabs on the corners here, which we can
take this out completely if we want.
I've got this open like curtain at the moment,
so it's just sitting there out of the way.
Alternatively, if I undo these tabs here and roll
this closed it allows me to completely seal off,
well not completely seal,
there is a gap, top and bottom and around the sides,
but it gives us a bit of a privacy screen
between the front and the rear room.
Just to give you an idea of how you might be able to
use this space inside the 8P tent,
I'm gonna grab a double high queen size airbed
and put it in the back room,
and then I'm going to fit two single airbeds in the front
room here.
(unzips)
Now you can see that you can fit it all in here and you
can still function as a family.
Let me grab those.
So the space inside the Instant Up Gold 8P tent,
I've got 420 centimetres of length,
and 235 centimetres in width here.
So this Coleman double high queen sized bed is about
200 centimetres long and about 150 wide, and I've got
a bit of space here, probably about 30 centimetres
before the internal room divider comes into play.
And then at the front there I've got two XL single
airbeds, which are about a metre wide and about
190 centimetres in length.
So you can still get down the middle of the tent there.
I've still got room to stand here.
The airbed is just touching the rear of the tent here,
so there's plenty of room to sleep,
plenty of room at the front,
it's a great family camping tent.
That is all the features of the
Coleman Instant Up Gold 8P tent.
It's a great family camping tent.
It's easy to put up, there's a room for Mum and Dad,
and there's a room for the kids.
