Reddit mentions of Coleman 6-Person Dome Tent with Screen Room | Evanston Camping Tent with Screened-In Porch

That is a giant heavy tent. And the frame required to set it up is sold separately.

You say you want to car camp, how many people will be sleeping in the tent? For weekend or month's at a time?

I bought this tent for car camping and it's been great. Room for an air mattress, plus the porch is a great way to keep bugs out of the main compartment.

Even really cheap tents hold up ok IME. I mostly backpack but I go car camping several times per year. I have the 8 person version of this and it's been fine during some really bad storms
(sheltered by trees). I like the flatter front and spacious entry because that keeps things cleaner. I also have taken this on two trips down the east coast. The porch gets wet but it was fantastic for keeping bugs out of the bedroom when we camped the Everglades. For reference I have a 50 lb mutt and the main issue I have is that he's figured out the doors so must be on leash.

I don't really like the "instant" tents though. Almost always harder to set up and the poles seem fragile. Much harder to clean too. The only one I've had that I liked was the Coleman popup. Can't beat the 3 second setup.

Looks like the Evanston line but with the fast pitch poles. Same price but heavier it seems. Personally haven't seen an Evanston tent, but the reviewers seem to rate it well.

I like tents enclosed vestibules; allows the family to duck into the vestibule, zip up the front door, take off the shoes and get into the tent without too many bugs following or getting soaked from the rain. For tents without vestibules, it's sometimes a choice of getting soaked or attacked by mosquitoes while you take your shoes off, or everyone piling into the tent with their shoes on and tracking mud and dirt into the tent. It's also nice to get out of the tent and just sit out in the vestibule at night without getting attacked by bugs.

There are some shortcomings brought up by the reviewers like the fly not fully covering the vestibule and the back window... but it's a trade-off for the price. For the price, looks like a good tent.

Thanks for all the recomendations. We narrowed it down to the Coleman Montana 6 (http://www.campmor.com/coleman-montana-6-12-x7-6-person-tent-2010.shtml?source=CI&ci_src=14110944&ci_sku=21593)

Would like to hear reviews from both if anyone has them.

For 3 people, would fit 4 pretty well still.

Nice part is you can leave the front of the tent open while having the 'screen porch' sealed. Adds a bit of air.
