Candles arrived melted and lumped to one side of containers. One will not stay lit and when it is lit, it smokes a lot (pictured).

I stumbled into buying this stove by default in a small town where I couldn't find any of the little isobutane cans that are not so widely available. The propane cylinders are everywhere in North America, big plus with this stove. This is actually my second Colman stove, the first one still worked perfectly but it was getting quite rusty as we used it boat camping along the sea coast over many years. It’s been a totally dependable powerhouse. Simmers nicely, we do fish and chip fry’s in camp, also use it in combination with a griddle on top of a camp grill for pancakes etc. A snap to set up or break down for storage in the kitchen bag. Has never leaked off gas while installed on a bottle. You'll want something smaller and lighter for backpacking, but if you don't have to carry it on your back this is a great stove. The two of us generally get like 5 to 6 fairly deluxe wilderness camp meals with one cylinder.

Have had this for one year. The lantern started on fire for no apparent reason. Had to put it out with a fire extinguisher.

Replacing the generation made this old lantern work like new. It was made in 1959. Changing the generator is tricky unless you have three hands and tiny fingers but I finally got it after 10 minutes.

I didn’t realize it took batteries, but regardless it saved me when I was in a tight spot and I lost power camping. I’ll admit it, I was glad to have it.

Best Feature: I love the screened in porch option on this tent. I helps keep dirt, mud and bugs out of the sleeping area of the tent. We were able to fit a full size blowup mattress, foldable table and overnight bags plus two campers with no problems! It is easy to set up with one person BUT I did have some difficulty with the pole that holds up the screened in porch so I had to ask for assistance from a fellow camper. I am hoping that after the initial set up, this will get easier to hook into the holder with use. Take down is super easy and I was able to fit it back in the bag without ripping off the expansion tag. I wish the back window had a zipper for privacy like the side windows but since the back window is WIDE OPEN, we opted to use the rain cover even though it was a gorgeous weekend so you couldn't see directly into the tent. The cover makes the airflow/ventilation a little stuffy so we used a camping fan to keep the air moving around at night.

I have a similar lantern that I purchased from colemandiscount.com around 3-years ago. It stated a 5-year warranty on the colemandiscount.com website but Coleman claims that it is all a 1 year warranty. See attached chat. They refused to honor it unless you have the manual for it which I definitely wasn't aware that I have to keep the manual for warranty sake.

Good clean burning fuel. The problem is the 1st and 2nd can arrived with leaks from the spout. For some reason the inner sealing plug on the spout is missing. Only the screw on top was there which is not enough to prevent leaks and evaporation during transit or storage. 1st can I got was 1/2 empty.

Used in the back of my equinox for camping , so cozy. Easy to use. Love that it inflates and deflates for me. My dog loved it too.

I loved this tent so much that I bought two! It’s really sturdy! See the last photos of our old tent. It was 8 years old and it held up against everything and finally 60+ mph straight line winds took it down. Despite missing its rain guard and a few snapped poles, the tent itself held up really well. We were so happy with all the years we got out of it and finally got another one and I had to go with the same one. It is really easy to set up, 2 people took 20/30 minutes or so and the size is great. We got a queen sized air mattress in it at one point with end tables and had room to spare. There is also a spot to hang a lantern up if we need and I loved that the door is hinged, it makes it so easy to go in and out. The floor is waterproof and has a coating that comes up the sides and the only time we had water in it was the night of the wind storm. It rained while we were setting it back up and it started down pouring as soon as we got it up. We slept in the truck that night and the liner is so good that we could have swam in it. We’ve never had water inside the tent Before and that just shows how great the waterproofing was. It kept the water out and once the water was in, it didn’t leave because the liner was that good. I can see myself years down the road buying my third. I love this tent.

The generator works perfectly. It came in a Coleman package, seems legit. I read the reviews about missing parts, mine had everything mentioned- jet, tube, spring, cardboard and pricker rod. It does not include the nut, so save yours. Installed it and it's been glowing bright!

False our unit didn’t come with a floor. Completely wasted $130

Pros: Easy Setup Spring Loaded Hubs Perfect Tension Stable Cons: None What I received in the package: 1 x Coleman Camping Cot 1 x Storage Bag This product is roughly 26” x 6 1.5” x 6.5” when stowed and 75” x 28” x 17” when deployed. The cot weighs roughly ….. The cot has a SpyderHub Technology that features spring loaded hubs that rotate to attache the frame and keep tension on the cot fabric. This cot can hold up to 300lbs. What I liked about this cot is that it looks like it might be delicate but when you sit or lay on it … it is surprisingly sturdy and resilient. Assembly was straight forward and very difficult to get wrong. I was able to assemble and disassemble the cot in under 5 minutes each. In testing, this cot is much more comfortable than the military style cot I am used to using. For a quick off the ground rack … you could do much worse than this product. The side to side stability is good and for a thinner cot material, seems to hold up well. I was unable to locate any warranty either in the product information or item description. I appreciate you taking the time to read this. I received this product in exchange for an honest review. All in all, Coleman has been a standard in camping since I can remember. This is worthy of the brand name and is an excellent choice if you prefer sleeping above ground level. Hope this information was helpful. [4 Stars] This product is made in China.

This is an enormous (and heavy) tent that is easily assembled and extremely roomy once fully set up. The setup wasn't hard but not super easy, which is to be expected for such a large tent. The quality shows, particularly around the seams and edges, which is usually where tents get the most wear. Collapsing the tent down and fitting back in the large bag was straight forward as well. For a large family, or someone looking for a lot of comfort and space, this is a near perfect tent. Bring able to stand in the tent is a huge plus for me, since there's about 6.5 feet of height. The edges of the tent aren't as tall, but it's almost unnoticeable. This also has a lot of ventilation, which is necessary for such a large tent, for both temperature and condensation control. The only downside is the fairly extreme weight-- this is about 40lbs and isn't easy to carry, and if you're a smaller person it might be nearly impossible for you to carry alone.

After a whole lot of review comparisons, of various brands and sizes of cabin-style tents, I settled on the Coleman Montana 8 person tent. I didn't need self-rolling windows or yet another lamp, so I went with the standard, "non-Elite" version. We got the Blue/White/Black coloured tent, as opposed to the "sea-foam"-ish green tent which seems to be in greater supply. At the time we purchased it, the price was the same as for the green version. We are a family of three, and we wanted a lot of extra room to move around without having anything too cumbersome. The size of this tent was perfect for placing our queen-size air mattress on one end, and our gear and clothes on the other, while having a nice wide area in the middle in which to stand, change clothes, and move around each other while entering/exiting the tent. The centre height was perfect for me to stand stand up straight, with room to spare beneath the webbing, but I'm only 5'9'. the Elite version of the tent seems to list a higher centre height despite that the tent looks almost identical in the photos. The two end windows are angled outward so that in a light rain it is possible to keep them open without the rain coming through the windows. The front awning is certainly large enough that the front window can be left open in slightly heavier rain without a problem, but wind will be something to factor in. As others have noted, the tent comes packaged in a conveniently sized carry bag (27" x 8" x 8"), with separate bags for stakes and poles. The poles are sort of colour-coded to the sleeves the go into on the tent body and the rain-fly awning. one of the black poles has red swatches indicating it is for the awning. The two black poles and the grey poles support the tent body. Two very thin poles act as the door hinge and flap support. The entry matt is a separate piece with its own pair of stakes. After reading numerous reviews that praised this tent for being waterproof out of the box, I decided to trust the reviewers, and the manufacturer's factory seam taping, and pitch it as it was. 17 stakes in the ground, 7 poles, 8 guy lines, and a half-hour later, the tent was up and looking quite nice. Everything was wonderful, until it started raining our second night out. We had steady, light rain, and only a few hours after it began the inside of the rain-fly began beading with water droplets. Luckily, we had a plastic painting tarp that we were able to throw over the rain-fly and tie down. After shaking off the water build-up on the outside of the rain-fly and quickly positioning and tying down the tarp, we dried off the inner surface of the rain-fly, and things help up fine. We were also lucky that there was very little wind, so our tarp stayed in place. Lesson learned: ALWAYS seam seal and waterproof your rain-fly, regardless of what the reviewers tell you. The "bathtub", or floor of the tent, stayed perfectly dry despite water pooling on the tarp we put underneath the tent as a footprint. It was just the rain-fly that was not up to its task. We also had some slight trouble with the hinged door, which has a pole that supports the edge, and another that acts as the hinge. It also has several swatches of Velcro along the edge that are supposed to catch as the door swings closed, preventing the need to always zipper it shut. The door was a pain in the arse. The Velcro never lined up correctly, nor held properly. And the pole supporting the edge made zipping the door open and shut very difficult. We ended up simply removing the pole that supports the edge, and zipping the thing each time we passed through. Even without the door pole, it was necessary to pinch the tent above the door in order to get the zipper past a certain catch point that seems to result from the way the front of the tent hangs from the structural rods. I couldn't figure a way to tighten the guy lines to pull the poles in a way to prevent this. But, in all, the door operated far more easily as a regular tent door, than the "hinged door" it was designed to be. There is a small ring attached to a fabric tab at the apex of the tent which can hold a lamp hanging on a carabiner, but I sort of wish this tent had a mesh shelf handing there, instead. There are two mesh bags hanging on the walls, one at each end, on opposing walls. Despite the failed factory taping on the rain-fly, and poorly engineered "hinged door", we really enjoyed this tent, and would certainly recommend it to anyone looking for a cabin style tent as many as four or five people.
