COLEMAN Mosedale 5 Pro BlackOut Tent

Product Information

It has survived some downpours and wind OK, although I would prefer a little porch to keep the inside dry when going in and out. Berghaus has been highly commended by 92% in our 2023 Owner Satisfaction Awards, so it’s definitely worth the splurge.

Specifically designed with family camping in mind, the Dometic Ascension FTX is equipped with spacious bedrooms and innovative features. The polyester construction guarantees a comfortable night’s sleep and protection from all types of weather. This model features mesh panels on three sides and a large porch door which can be opened on a particularly sunny day. There are cheaper and more expensive alternatives to the Coleman Mosedale 5. Depending on your budget, and how often you’d use the tent, I can recommend the Eurohike Rydal 500 for example that I reviewed previously, or the Vango Icarus 500 DLX – reviewed here. Although the Vango Icarus 500 DLX has a slightly smaller living room, it also has an optional front porch which would eliminate the difference in size, and you’d still be better off with the Vango than with a Coleman Mosedale 5 + front extension setup.Despite its vast size, the Zempire Aerodrome is surprisingly simple to erect. The Aerodome can sleep up to six people in two separate compartments, giving you a variety of options for sleeping arrangements. There’s also an attached awning that provides great shade and an outdoor spot for family chats or camping games. Coleman are historically strong on this front, the Coleman Mosedale 5 is no exception. The groundsheet is sewn in, the seems are taped, and there is a polyester flysheet to protect you from rain. Fire retardant - our material ensures that the fabric will not flare dangerously out of control and will self-extinguish, giving time to escape in an emergency Coleman Mosedale 5 review – image via GoOutdoors Who is the Coleman Mosedale 5 tent recommended for?

WeatherTec™ - waterproofed to a 4500mm HH rating and taped seams ensures your tent stays nice and dry While it’s important you like the look of your tent, there’s no point in going for something that looks stylish, when ultimately, it might not keep you warm and dry. While we do live in a beautiful country, the weather is unpredictable at best. Therefore, it’s worth looking at the waterproof rating of any tent, also known as the Hydrostatic Head rating. The rating measures the quantity of rain the tent can withstand in millimetres. It’s key to remember that the higher the score, the more durable the tent. • Is it spacious enough for your family? The front corner attachment points for the bedroom inner are starting to fail where they join the groundsheet. We have bought the extension, which we have yet to try out, but that should give us much more room, probably making us use the tent for longer trips, and the awning with the van for weekend trips.

The roll up curtains for the four little windows at the front corners of the tent are a bit of a fiddle; the main window and the mosquito net doors are fine.
