If you wish to put a door on the porch, get the Coleman Vestibule for this tent, which comes with a door and a groundsheet to fully enclose the front.

On this trip, we took the bedroom divider down and had ourselves one lovely (cool and dark) sleeping space with plenty of room for our clothes and bags. Heavy rain is no match for the polyester flysheet which has a hydrostatic head of 4000mm as well as fully taped seams, this combined with the tough, integrated polyethylene groundsheet ensures a dry and bug-free interior. The flysheet is also treated with Coleman’s UVGuard™ providing SPF 50 protection from the sun’s rays. Just remember to re-peg the corners and put out the guylines so that the tent fabric is nice and tight, which helps the tent keep strong and makes it easier for any water to run off. Of course, if you have more than a couple of kids, or you want even more space for your family camping holiday, then have a look at this tent's big sister, the Coleman Meadowood 6L.

Everything can be rolled up high out of the way when not needed, but there is also a built in mesh part (like on the size door) that can be left zipped in place on it’s own too. As mentioned, great for tent cooling, enjoying the view and keeping the bugs out (or pets in, including children :o). Flexibility remains at the forefront, with changeable layouts allowing you to maximise the use of your living space. Accessories, including vestibules and carpets, are also available (sold separately) for new models, meaning you can enhance your camping experience and have your tent, your way. UV Guard Sun Protection - Certified laboratory testing proves Coleman UVGuard protection fabrics with an SPF50 provide excellent protection against the sun’s ultraviolet rays. Proper use of sunscreen combined with shelters made with UVGuard protection fabric can go a long way in the battle against sunburn and UV exposure. At the front there’s a large door and over the top is a decent sized poled sun/rain canopy which also has sides expanding down to the floor. The canopy did give us some shelter from the hot sun as we sat outside the Meadowood Air 4 in the baking July sun. I’m sure it would help keep the rain off us and the front door had there been any sign of any wet stuff. The fire retardant characteristic of our material ensures that the fabric will not flare dangerously out of control and will self extinguish, giving time to escape in the event of an emergency.

Although the Coleman Meadowoood 4L is larger than the 4, it's still a viable tent for weekend camping, giving you that flexibility for short and longer camping trips.
