Hi,
I've been researching tents for a some time now and can't seem to find what I like. I have ran through three Coleman tents and one Wenzel. I'm amazed at the cheap quality of those tents. I mean, just setting one up you can rip the sleeves, tub, guide straps.............wow. Absolute garbage. I am looking for a two-three person tent, with room to stand up in, and some longevity to it, without breaking the bank. I did see the ALPs tents and realized the 6' ceiling is in the center of the tent, which is fine, but it looks cheaply made as well. I'm leaning towards a canvas tent like a Kodiak, but that is China crap, so that leaves Swingbar? Are there any decent tents left or is it one way or the other.
It actually seems that most of Coleman's camping products are absolutely cheap and gimmicky. Coming back into the camping world after a ten year stint camping in the military, and it's like playschool camping. Not to mention, all the gear is so outrageous. Are there any buy, sell, trade forums worth a shot? Just some questions for an old camper, but a noob on here.
Happy Camping !!
