I have just bought and erected my new Coastline 6 and I believe there is a problem with it.

On the single bedroom, the sides of the bedroom sag terribly, to the point that you cannot lay in there without touching the sides.

When I looked into this, I can see that in the corners of the tent there are elastic bands with plastic pieces in them, obviously  for hooking onto the bedroom.

The issue is the bedroom has no matching elastic bands with plastic holes to attach to. It requires ones similar to the top of the bedroom pods that attach to the roof of the tent.

Has anyone else noticed this?

I have emailed Coleman, but no answer yet 'cos it's the weekend?

My first tent so any advice would be helpful.

cheers

Sounds like you have a duff sleeping pod that has not had all its attachment toggles or straps sewn on (Coleman usually have elastic mounted rings on the tent and elastic mounted toggles on the pod). If the tent has fixing points, but the pod none to match up then something is not right.

I would take this up with whoever you purchased it from as soon as you can and get an exchange.

Thanks all, was worried that was the issue.

I have emailed Coleman, and will now drop a line to the retailer.

Times like this i wish i had bought locally!

Hi Hunterxf382,

Thanks for the post, but yes all set up ok, i have since had a couple of toggles sewn in.

Did you not think that the end bedroom on it's own sags down at the back? I have to admit i have not set it up fully with all the guy roles so maybe that will help...?

Thanks Pete,

Would be interested to know if your is ok in September.

That bedroom pod toggles at the top, then slopes to the plasric catches in the corners, where as the bigger pod has two lines of toggles from the roof and sides...
