I gave this two stars because it does one thing well, it holds water. The big problem is that it holds onto it far too well. If you are purchasing this to transfer water, it is horrible. The spout is small and it creates a vacuum in the tank, the result is that it takes about 45 minutes for this carrier to empty when it is hung by the handle and the valve is opened all the way. We have a pop up trailer, and when we camp where there aren't water hook ups, we have to use something like this to haul water and refill the 25 gallon on-board tank. My system is to hang a carrier like this from a camera tripod and open the valve to drain the water into the trailer tank. I bought two of these so I could empty one while I was filling the other. Because these empty so slowly, it would take me close to 4 hours to fill the trailer. The carrier I had before I bought these was from a company called Reliance, they are more expensive but it seems like the extra cost is 100% worth it for what I need this for. I decided to add some pics of what I ended up doing. I went to Cal Ranch and bought 2' of braided vinyl hose with a 1" OD, then I cut out the inside of the valve and stuck the hose through it. Now it empties in about 15-20 seconds and works like a champ, it doesn't shut off but for what I will use it for it works. I'm going to leave the rating at two stars because if I was purchasing this and was using it as it comes, it would SUCK!!!

I am not going to give this product completely five stars because it is not perfect but it is pretty great. Have you slept on a camp cot...And woken up the next day feeling like you’re the tin man after a rain? Well this cot is not perfect but it sure beats that type of cot. I purchased the initial standard comfort card for my son who is 6’2 “ ...he claims and 200 pounds well he’s a lengthy guy and on that cot he said was very very comfortable but still his long size 12 feet hung out. So I made a retail decision to take that one back to a different retailer and purchase on colemandiscount.com boy am I glad I did. This Cot is comfortable and the reason it is, is because it has suspension hooks all around the outer edge. Here’s what I’m gonna do I’m going to make my own foam mattress. The one on it isn’t bad but if you want to sleep on this thing for longer than two nights more foam is much better. Maybe Because I sleep on a therma rest mattress...I’ve become a princess with a P… And I cannot handle sleeping on on uncomfortable couches or army cots anymore. If you’re a little bit of a princess this Cot will do it! I am taking points off for how it folds up not easy but I think it gives it a better support than the fancy-schmancy folding ones that have very skinny legs and because it’s not as sturdy as it could be but then it would be triple the price this is a very good piece of equipment for what we use it for which is to have a lot of guests over all the time for the price. I do recommend it! Could put two together and make a larger size mattress as well. I’m very nitpicky when it comes to sleeping devices because I don’t like to be uncomfortable at night so basically this is pretty perfect considering how inexpensive it is. It’s not really a cot that you would take hiking... it’s too cumbersome for that but it’s perfect for RV parking or tent camping or just in your home when you have extra guests or want to pretend in your backyard that you’re out in the deep woods! It’s rated to support someone who is 250 pounds and if you way more than that I strongly recommend you seek out a different piece of equipment the longer caught probably fits a bigger person. I’ve looked at a lot of camping gear and in the lower and prices they must assume that a lot of really overweight people don’t go camping because nothing is comfortable for anyone unless you’re a pretty tiny person and that is what I mean by height as well as weight. This longer wider cock will fit my son perfectly and with a sticker for mattress it could become a permanent sleeping place. But maybe we don’t want to do that?

Solid tent. We left it out overnight in rainy and windy conditions. Moderate rain. Wind gusting 35-37mph. It did well. Small leakage around windows as others have mentioned. Held up against the winds just fine, it’s rated to 35 mph and it did fine with 37mph. I’m disappointed a bit with some aspects of it but I still like it. I wish the side door had more Velcro attachments and stayed closed better. I’m going to add more Velcro to around the door so it stays closed better. And the privacy flap by the screen porch area not being connected to the bottom of the tent letting air in. I understand that’s a design feature for ventilation but I think ventilation up top is better on the roof of the tent or by opening some windows. But honestly after staying the night in it I don’t mind it. I was going to Velcro it shut however since it is not causing problems there’s no need to. I’m going to leave it as is. It’s almost perfect except these adjustments I want to make and the leaky windows which one small cloth can usually take care of when the small amounts of water pool on the floor by the window. It’s got great design and strong steel poles otherwise. Why are the guy lines a such a bright white I feel like that will get dirty so quickly lol. I wish I could set it up myself but it’s not feasible for me as a small person. But I think the trade off in weight is worth the quality and sturdiness so I’m fine with it. Coleman is a good brand I’ve come to like their products.
