Hey, I would just like a list of the top 10 (largest and most successful) camping tent manufacturers (not stores) in the U.S.
-----Then out of that list, could you please the best top few manufactures that are known for making smaller tents for independent campers and hikers.\
Thanks to all in advance!
Answer
At the top of my list is Coleman they are the oldest and most reliable of all the manufactures there are. Not in just tents but for all your camping needs. Unbeatable in price and guarantees. Now there are other great tent makers and gear manufacturers and where they are on any top ten list varies from person too person. Read the reviews of products before you buy and shop and compare. Here is a link to a great supplier with reviews of the products they sell,

See what I mean by other opinions? gear heads that think your not getting quality if your paying department store prices. Folks that like BackPacker magazine endorsements are just another group of high-end price fools. Looking at their endorsement lists you won't find any 4 man tents under $100 when Coleman has been selling the top rated Sundome for less then that for years, mind you it is the most copied tent design out there and you can spend upwards of $500 for the same tent design.
How do they do that? by keeping the manufacturing cost down and passing it on to the consumer. Nearly all tents are made overseas in either China or Pakistan it's just that some companies pocket more profit than others. Pay more if you want too but again Coleman cannot be beat price-wise or in quality and guarantee.

coleman instant tent 8 person?
We set the tent up tonight and it went very smoothly as advertised. We had it up in less than 1 minute with two adults and a three year old...LOL...coming down was not as easy. It took about 5 minutes which still is not bad. Hopefully Coleman can clarify that part of the directions a little better. I like the two room feature and all the windows. On a scale of 1 to 10 I give it a 9.
Once I take it camping that might change but for now I am happy...
I was hoping to put this tent up by myself since I doubt my husband will camp very much with us.
Answer
am also considering this tent. Does it seem to be good quality? I'm nervous that it doesn't have a rainfly. Where did you purchase it? Like the original poster, my husband may not camp with me and I want to be able to set it up/take it down on my own. I've been happy with Coleman products over the years. (I actually just mended a 20 year old Coleman sleeping bag!)
