Coleman Instant Up 4P Silver Evo Tent

G'day Kerrin,

Yes, this can definitely be set up by one person. You just need to lay the tent down, spread out the fabric, and extend the poles out until it locks into place and then throw over the fly over the top, and you’re ready to roll.

G'day Trish,

The awning is the vestibule cover, which is separate to the tent door.  You don't need to put this down at night if you don't want to, the internal tent door is generally enough for most campers.
You'd only consider pulling the vestibule door shut if you're due to experience poor weather.

G'day Karen,

Unfortunatley not - the instant up pole system is integrated into the tent itself, and the tent inner is designed to tension around poles specifically of this shape.
You wouldnt be able to mimic the more square shape & upright walls with dome tent style poles.

G'day Matt,

First thought is that because the walls of the tent are sloped, at the height of the stretcher you'll be cutting it quite fine to fit in - you'll probably have very little room left over and the stretcher will take up most of the space.
Alot of people wanting to use double stretchers size up to the 6P version of this tent - so thats something worth considering.

The other is that the Silver Instant Up series is an awesome entry level range.  Their limitation is the lower waterhead rating, which suit most fair weather camping trips.  If you think you may want to camp year round, including throughout winter and some rubbish weather, consider the Gold Evo.

My last and final thought is that Deluxe 3.0 gazebo is a great choice - they're really popular for a reason!  The downside to these can be the overall weight and packed size - alot of people arent able to use them because they cant fit on their car unless they have a trailer or roof racks.
An alternative to this can be something like the Quest Air Gazebo, but it does have a higher price point.
A budget friendly and super compact option for additional shelter can be a Tarp Shelter - they can take a bit of extra time to put up, but the space vs overall cost and pack size is huge.
Check out the Oztrail Camper Fly as an option, and look through the Customer Review photos for some inspiration.

Hope that helps!

G'day Nicole,

The Silver is the base model, with a slightly lower waterhead rating, designed as a fair weather or light rain option.  The Gold is the next step up with a higher waterhead rating, meaning it's more suited to year round use.

Hope that helps.

G'day Rod,

No, the Silver Evo range is only available in this one colour.
There is a Gold Evo range which has different material specifications, and is a green and gold colour - its essentially a level up on the silver version.
Hope that helps.

G'day Vin,

Yes, the Coleman Instant Up 4P Silver Evo does come with the 2 awning poles.

G'day Cal,

The new Silver EVO model has a zipper above the front door so you can attach the front evo awning. Aside from this, it's the same great design, with the same materials.
