What is the difference between this Coleman WeatherMaster Screened 6 Tent and the Coleman Elite WeatherMaster Screened 6 Person Tent?

The color (Elite is blue) and the Elite come with a "built in" interior LED lighting system and "auto-rolling" window shades. Otherwise it pretty much the same tent. It's up to the camper to decide if the added features are worth the additional cost.

I'm not sure, I've only tried the weather master, not the weather master elite. But I have to say, we sure do love the weather master!

Hi Joe,This tent is amazing. The rainfly works just fine. I would highly recommend it. Thanks and happy camping!

The one that i bought was listed as the 3 person pop up tent, there is also one that is a 2 person tent. In my experience a 3 person tent is really for 2 people and their stuff, in my case it is for 2 adults and one toddler. I did also waterproof it myself to ensure that it won't when it is needed. I got this one to have as a back up emergency shelter, or to use as an extra tent to store gear when we use our big tent.

All Coleman tents are rain proof. Since this is a three season tent, the fabric does not go all the way to the top so if it was real windy, the rain might come in under the rain fly. This is our third Coleman and we have used them for 25 years. They work well.

the ideal tent would be a military tent from a surplus. i have a 6 man military dome tent with the stack opening and it works fine just be sure to place ply wood or a flat lawn step block under the heater in case of fall out

It is a three season tent. Usually a four season tent is a heavier material such as canvas. A four season tent is warm in the winter but hot in the summer. But I have used a three season tent in the winter and used a thicker sleeping bag to compensate for the cold.

I have peen better insulated ones for winter, so I'd say it's a 3 season tent. Be sure to get yourself a properly rated sleeping bag.

The tent is a little longer then other two-man tents I checked out, so that may be a good thing. Top is all mesh for view and ventilation, and the fly is very easy to put up and snaps to the bottom of the tent.I like it a lot and use it for everything. Does that help?

There really isn't a difference other than the size. However, I did just order three new 14x10 and the design has changed just slightly. There is no longer doors on both sides, only the large "screen room" side has a door now. Also there are two small vent openings at the center peak of the tent now, a great added feature. These vents can be open without letting in rain.

Yes, as far as I have seen the Coleman Evanston screen series tents are all made out of the same material. I have gone through a two day storm in South Carolina and it held up great.

The rain guard at the top can be removed completely to reveal the mesh apex of the tent. Also there is a mesh window in the opening flap. It works well for ventilation as well as keeping in eye on the kids when they are playing in the tent. This may not be the best choice of tent for anyone that is over 5 ft tall as you do not have much room to stretch out when you sleep. With that being said, I am very pleased with my purchase as I have had 3 Cub scouts sleep in it multiple times without issue.

there are two versions of this tent.....a 6ft for short beds and an 8 ft for regular or "long" beds.

I have no experience with specific four season tents, but I would not classify it as such. I've spent some chilly nights in it. Good three season tent for sure, though.

Its definitely not a backpacking tent.. It's a little heavy but the convenience of putting it up in just a matters of minutes is so worth it. I have had several coleman tents and this one is by far the easiest. I would recommend the 6 person. It was perfect for my daughter and me and all out bags and hiking gear. Great tent!

All sides have "roll up" rain flaps. Two sides have "fixed " screening. The other two can be totally opened including screening or have the flaps used as awnings with screening in place. Note that both of these flaps and their associated screens have a Zipper down the middle and at either edge. So the configurations you can create are incredibly flexible. Also the zippers are probably the best quality i've ever seen.. I find no negatives with this wonderful combination tent/screenhouse.. buy one. You'll love it !! Good luck and Enjoy !!

I don't have an answer for that, those were my thoughts also. Getting a larger tent allows for more movement while working inside so that was my reason for buying along with the additional savings. This version might also be a better seller therefore they are able to discount this product to attract more buyers. Anyways this is a great piece of equipment. It's built very well and it should last for many, many years if taken care of. I think the initial weight as it arrives in it carrying case is over 70 lbs, it's a beast.

The standard will not fit the street glide. You would have to buy the touring tent. My complaints about either one is that lots of condensation forms on the inside, causing mold; the material does wear out after about a year in the elements. Mine is already dried out, cracking, moldy, and ripping apart. The standard holds up better than the touring one though. Because the touring tent is bigger for some reason the material stretches out faster and next thing you know you get gaping holes all over the place. Also, you have to anchor them down somehow otherwise the wind will move them and may cause damage to your bike. Keeps these things in mind when purchasing. The standard will not fit the street glide.
