COLEMAN Mosedale 5 Pro BlackOut Tent

Product Information

Made with lightweight and waterproof fabric, the Vacation has a respectable Hydrostatic Head rating of 3,000mm. The biggest concern though is that damage will occur to the tent because the pole is under such pressure, and the tent fabric is under such tension – the front door zips I felt were particularly vulnerable when they were being closed at the top. Assemble the tent with lightweight fibreglass poles and the fully sewn groundsheet – keeping out draughts and insects. The tent pitches much more easily with the shortened poles, and I am happy with the outcome, but I feel that I should not have had to do this to a new tent! We have bought the extension, which we have yet to try out, but that should give us much more room, probably making us use the tent for longer trips, and the awning with the van for weekend trips.

The fire retardant characteristic of our material ensures that the fabric will not flare dangerously out of control and will self extinguish, giving time to escape in the event of an emergency. We have used this tent on 4 separate occasions so far since 2018 and it has seen all types of weather - extreme heat and monsoon rains! The Vango Beta gets its sturdy stability from the Tension Band System, which can be adjusted to prevent sideways movement in strong, changeable winds. I've read that some people have had issues with poles and the blackout material, but we haven't had any issues.Stay cool in warmer weather and comfy in the winter with the 100% cotton canvas flysheet equipped with breathing and insulating properties.

The short wire pegs supplied with the tent are hardly worth the bother – get some “nine inch nail” type pegs and a small claw hammer. What makes this tent different is that it has a blackout bedroom, a speciality of Colemans, and it really does work! Ideal for camping adventures with friends and family, the Outwell Airville 6SA is a super spacious and well-designed unit.The Mosedale 5 Pro’s simple yet stable, tunnel construction means it can be easily set up in minutes. The polyester construction guarantees a comfortable night’s sleep and protection from all types of weather. During our trip we experienced strong gusting winds, which the tent stood up to well enough (although it did shake about quite a bit), and a night of heavy rain; not a drop came in!

Therefore I cannot recommend this tent, and can only give it a rating of 6 (this would have been an 8 without the pole issues). We added a carpet this year as we were using it for a full week and couldn't be sure of the weather. Before purchasing the tent, consider the number of people that’ll be staying inside and whether they’d be able to move around comfortably.

The flysheet is also treated with Coleman’s UVGuard™ providing SPF 50 protection from the sun’s rays.
