I bought the Elite WeatherMaster tent for my family so we could all fit into one tent. I have to say that while I do not hate the tent, I am not impressed and have to wonder what has happened to the Coleman that always made high quality products. The tent had some neat features like a hinged door and a screened "porch" style area, but I would easily trade the "features" for a solid tent that keeps my family dry.
The Good:
Set up of the WeatherMaster is fairly easy taking my family only around 15 minutes to get it done. Also, the tent looks nice when it is set up and is very roomy.
The Bad:
The main reason I want a tent when I am camping with my family is to keep the weather out. You would think with a name like WeatherMaster, this tent would do that well. You would also think with Coleman's reputation for making good products buying a tent from them would be a safe bet. In the case of the WeatherMaster neither of these assumptions were true. The second night of camping there was quite a bit of rain and sadly, a lot of that rain wound up in my tent. I thought the problem was with how I had situated the rain cover, but the next night, the same problem happened. Luckily the rest of the camping trip was dry.
Overall I would not recommend the Elite WeatherMaster tent, while it looks nice and is roomy it has some serious issues with weather. I am actually rather bummed that I can not give this product a good review as I have used a lot of Coleman products over the years and up until now they have served me well.
