Hi all,

I went out last week in my brand new Coleman Weathermaster (17' x 9').

The weather on the first night was dry and all was great. However the second day it rained all day, not hard but persistant.

When I returned in the evenining, I had puddles of water in the bed room and main room. It also seemed as if the water was seeping through the bedroom back wall.

In the end we left the tent up while it continued to rain for 36 hours and moved into a vacant log cabin nearby.

Has anyone any advise to prevent this? Is this the norm for these tents? Should I be contacting Coleman?

I have started to seal the seams whilst I had some spare time last week but have yet to complete or test.

Any advise would be great.

Thanks

Hi Tristinh..
I would take it straight back to Coleman.
There slogan below says it all!

"Exclusive WeatherTec™ System
Keeps you dry -- Guaranteed"

Did you buy the tent in the US or over here?
Not sure how happy they will be having started to seal the seams.
Coleman are a very good company and we had a few leaking problems with a small dome tent we bought in the US. They sent a replacement flysheet & some goodies to the UK to keep me sweet.
Best of luck
