There's a review here that says both doors have hoods - There are a few reviews of the tent in the 'Tent Review' section so hopefully someone who actually has the tent will be along shortly!

Edit

I see that herby59 has confirmed there's only one - So ignore the above!  It does seem that, for such expensive items, tent are generally very poorly/ambigously described.  For example, from the Coleman website:

"The Mackenzie Cabin features a rain protection peak over the side door; pole-tensioned fabric provides a porch area over the doors to prevent rain from entering the tent on entry and exit."

The first sentence mentions 'door' but the second says 'doors' so even the manufacturer doesn't make it clear!

I have had the Mackenzie Cabin 6 for a year now...... I can confirm that the Rain cover is only over one door and that the side extension can fit over either door.  Generally, we pitch with rain cover facing forward with the extension over this door.  This is partly due to the cable hole for the EHU being on the non covered door side.  However, there is nothing stopping it being pitched the other way.

This tent takes 2 of us about 30 minutes to put up.  It get upright and secure within15 minutes, but it takes the rest of the time straightening, pegging guy ropes and tensioning.

It isnt too difficult to pitch on your own, but I will warn you..... the pitching instructions are almost non-existent!

Good luck and enjoy
