    Cool, man! Oops, I mean…Coleman

    By metropolitanmama | June 1, 2008

    When I think of family camping products, I think of Coleman. They offer such a wide array of products at affordable prices (which all families can appreciate!).

    I recently had the opportunity to review the Coleman Evanston 14′ x 12′ tent ($189.99). It sleeps 8 and is really tall so you can walk around and change clothes in the tent with ease. No trying to wrestle your jeans on to your bum in a half-reclined position! The tent also features an adjustable air ventilation system to increase airflow and shock-corded poles for easy and quick set-up. My husband set the tent up in about 15 minutes (on his first attempt). He’s an Outdoor Adventure Guy so he probably is a bit faster than the norm, but I’m certain that most families could set it up within 30 minutes…or faster.

    To ensure that our nights are cool and that the air is must-free, we put up the Cool Zephyr Ceiling Fan with Light ($19.99). This little fan is nice because it hangs from tent ceilings so it is out-of-reach of curious toddlers.

    And what family couldn’t use a little more organization to lessen the “camping chaos”? Coleman thought of that too. They sell this Freestanding Organizer ($10.99) - perfect for setting up in a corner of your tent to organize tableware, lanterns, and other camping gear.

    When it’s time to purchase camping gear and supplies, think Coleman. Whether you’re looking for a tent, a grill, a cooler, a lantern, camping furniture, camping cookware, or a backpack…Coleman probably has it (and for a good price to boot!). 

    WIN IT! There will be FIVE winners. Each winner will receive a Cool Zephyr Ceiling Fan With Light. To enter, simply leave a comment on this post prior to Monday, June 9 at midnight (don’t forget to follow the rules). The winner will be announced and contacted on Tuesday, June 10. * Winner must provide a U.S. mailing address.

    *UPDATE* The winners are #6 Julie, #451 Kay Fischler, #40 Marcia, #262 Tonya Moyer, and #16 Mya Brooks. Congratulations!

      A product who’s time has come. With more and more people camping but not wanting to actually “rough it”, this is perfect.

      Great when you have children and makes camping a bit more enjoyable, especially in this heat!

      My wife and daughter camp out a lot with me and our two Cub Scout sons and this tent fan is awesome! It makes camping more enjoyable on muggy nights!

      The ceiling fan is great. We take the youth group camping every summer and one of the moms (a leader) always brings a lamp (as in living room table lamp!). She brings an extension chord to plug it in from the campsite to her tent. I was thinking of her as a I read this post!

      With Father’s Day coming up, this is perfect. My husband loves to set up the tent for him and the kids. This would help those hot summer nights.

      We bought a no name tent from wal-mart last year and went camping that weekend. I am paranoid of bugs and small woodland animals so I kept checking and rechecking the zipper to make sure it was closed. About 3 oclock in the morning, my fiance woke up with a FROG! on his face! He calmly got up and threw it outside but I don’t know if I would have handled it so well.

    15. Heather Says:
      June 2nd, 2008 at 5:25 am

      A fan and a light! that is awesome! Especially on the hot summer nights! After I read what you weekend theme was I got eager to go camping so I talked to my friends and we are having a girls only camping weekend in August! This would be great for it! thanks!

    16. Mya Brooks Says:
      June 2nd, 2008 at 5:26 am

      We love to rough it, and this would soooo come in handy!!! Now, if summer would actually GET here…ho hum!

      This would be so great. I really need one.

    18. Patti Says:
      June 2nd, 2008 at 5:35 am

      This is a great idea! I’m probably a little out of the cool camping gadget loop, but I’ve never seen anything like it. Usually we open the “window” and then freeze, or it rains…This would solve those problems wouldn’t it!!

    19. Evelyn Murray Says:

      Neato. I had no idea such a thing existed. I’m a white noise junkie, so camping in the quiet might make me bonkers.

    22. Crystal Says:
      June 2nd, 2008 at 6:21 am

      That is awesome, I myself hate camping, I don’t like bugs and stuff. I mean it would be fun with friends and family, that is until we have to retire to the relative discomfort of the dreaded tent to sleep. Now I am sure it isn’t that bad if you have a blow up mattress and stuff. The bugs really are the biggest problem for me. Now that I have kids now it is more about what I think they will enjoy. We are going up to Marine Land this summer and we are camping for the weekend while we are there. I don’t know about you but I have a hard time sleeping with no fan.

    23. Dara Nix Says:
      June 2nd, 2008 at 6:32 am

      What a great idea! Camping is great … but not in the summer with the Florida heat & humidity! THIS will help make it more enjoyable!

    28. Barbara Baker Says:
      June 2nd, 2008 at 7:12 am

      Oh yes, I could absolutely use one of these. It is always about 10 degrees hotter in my kids room (due to all the extra kids visiting over summer). This could really come in handy since our apartment complex says they wont put one in, but if we want one we could purchase on and install it ourselves…This is a definite need in our home. Hope I win!!!!

      When I think of camping I think of Coleman too! My family used to camp often when I was growing up. I remember the coleman stove we used to cook rice-a-roni on…aaahhh! Can you believe that? I feel sooo old!

      My husband is always suggesting camping as an enhjoyable weekend diversion and I am always declining because spending a hot and sweaty night in a tent just doesn’t appeal. This little gadget could help to persuade me . . .

      We took our little guy camping this past weekend for the first time and he loved it. So we’ve scheduled a few more camping trips this summer. But the summers in Virginia and W. Virginia are hot and muggy and the air under the tree canopy is very still. I had no idea they made tent ceiling fans. Even though my hubby is a natural camper kind of guy (i.e. usually eschews technology for the stuff he grew up with), I know he’d make an exception to make it through the night with air movement in the tent. Happy wife and child equals happy husband. Period! :-)

      cute photo of you daughter with the scrunchy nose. okay, back to the contest. now, what a great idea for places where camping is hot at night (the south, southwest). little features like that make it seem like you’re not “roughing it” in the great outdoors!

    86. Katie Says:
      June 2nd, 2008 at 1:37 pm

      What a great idea. Instead of having to hold the flashlight yourself or have someone hold it you can just attach it to your tent. What a great idea. Thanks

    87. Julia Says:
      June 2nd, 2008 at 1:38 pm

I have to run the air all day which I can’t afford to do. If I had the ceiling fan above my bed I could go to sleep feeling cool enough but not have to run the air. please please please pick me

      Our family loves Coleman too. Our trusty portable stove comes camping with us all the time. It has outlasted numerous tents. We’d love to win a ceiling fan!

      Looking forward to doing more camping, this sounds great.

    113. Angela Says:

      This is neat. I had no idea they had something like this!

    114. Nora Says:
      June 2nd, 2008 at 4:19 pm

      This would be perfect for our family of five.

    115. Sandy Anderson Says:
      June 2nd, 2008 at 4:28 pm

      This is such a great idea! We just use a little flashlight and hang it from the center of our tent now but doesn’t really give enough light at night. And the addition of the fan is perfect cuz sometimes it gets pretty hot inside during the daytime.

    116. sandra williams Says:
      June 2nd, 2008 at 4:36 pm

      love that product, what a cool idea.

      I have never been camping. Seriously! This might actually make me more interested in setting a tent up in the backyard and testing the waters…

    119. Steff Annunziata Says:
      June 2nd, 2008 at 4:49 pm

      With the cost of gas getting higher and higher, more people are looking for more affordable vacations. This product is going to make roughing it a whole lot more comfortable!

      WOW, I would love to be one of the winners for the tent fan. I can’t tell you how many camping trips have been spoiled because it was just too hot inside our tent for me to sleep. This tent fan should do the trick. And it’s made by Coleman, the experts on camping gear! Great summer giveaway!!

      That fan looks so cool. My husband loves camping, I havent been with him in a long time though. We seem to always have a little baby, so as soon as our daughter is walking we are hitting the mountains.

    126. Betty King Says:
      June 2nd, 2008 at 5:10 pm

      I really need one of these lights for our tent. I hate hate hate going into a dark tent with only a flashlight. I never seem to be able to hold the flashlight and do what I have to do. This would free my hands for all those little tasks that need done before we can crawl into our sleeping bags. Besides nothing say quality like Colemans.

    127. Kathy LaFrenier Says:
      June 2nd, 2008 at 5:21 pm

      What a great idea- leave it to coleman!

      We are getting back into camping and a few luxuries is just what we need. Last family camping trip it rained the whole time. We sprinkled loose change over the campsites and the grandkids thought we just ‘happen’ to find the campground that had money. It was so cute and they were entertained for hours.

    129. Dawn Says:
      June 2nd, 2008 at 5:33 pm

      I would LOVE to have this for the start of our camping season!

      Coleman makes great stuff… could really use for camping

    133. Cindi Says:
      June 2nd, 2008 at 6:14 pm

      These Coleman products you have gotten are all fantastic! Their company has always been a favorite of mine. This fan is amazing. I read where it goes for 24 hours on high and 48 hours on low! Most of our camping is weekends only, and this time would be perfect! The various LED lights are great, also.
      One of my favorite features is the opposite control switch for the fan and lights. Of course, the foam fan blades are a super injury preventer. Our family would love to win one of these. Please enter me in your drawing. Many thanks, Cindi

    134. Cindy Says:
      June 2nd, 2008 at 6:21 pm

      We love to go camping as a family. One of the biggest problems is the lack of air flow while trying to sleep on a hot summer night. All that body heat plus the heat of the night, it sure can be miserable. What a great product. Hope our family wins.
      Thanks

    135. Cheryl English Says:
      June 2nd, 2008 at 6:30 pm

      I think that Coleman should donate some of these to our military personnel. They have to live in tents all the time. I’m sure they would appreciate something as wonderful as these.

    136. Hil'Lesha Says:

    137. Shawne Seignious Says:

      This would be great when I’m camping! To actually have a fan to circulate the air is wonderful.

    139. Dawn Fiske Says:

      June 2nd, 2008 at 7:14 pm

      While I cannot truthfully say that I camp often, I plan to spend four+ days camping next June at Bonnaroo (!!!!) in Tennessee, so this would be a lifesaver in the heat!
      Also, the foam blades would be super when me or my friend is less than fully aware of what’s going on, haha.

    142. Nicole@ApronStringsAflutter Says:
      June 2nd, 2008 at 7:15 pm

      June 2nd, 2008 at 9:30 pm

      June 2nd, 2008 at 10:01 pm

      A Cool Zephyr Ceiling Fan With Light what a great idea! I love a romantic camping getaway but sometimes it gets so hot in the tent (no pun intended lol) this would come in very handy
      muggy hot camping is the worst only thing that could make this fan better would be a built in bug zapper lol

      That organizing system is great! I remember camping and keeping stuff in the car and having to pull it out everytime you needed it. Or even having it in the tent with you. No room to sleep because of all the stuff.

      What a great fan as well. Many a hot, stuffy night in a tent when I was younger.

      I have a family full of paintball nuts. All of them my husband, son & grandkids. Not to mention as many of thier friends that they can drag along. This would be great for me to lay under in the tent and read my book while they are out killing all the bad guys!!

      I love Coleman camping products. We camp a lot during the summer, and with money being tight this year, we will camp instead of a long vacation. A fan/light will come in handy during those particularly hot nights. Being able to hang it from the ceiling will keep us all cool.

      Where has this been?! Oh, man! This would be so incredibly awesome! I remember one camping trip - the organizer of the event had campers camping on the grassy parking overflow area. Not my idea of camping, but okay and cheaper than a hotel. To make a long story short - heat wave = waking up in a sweltering tent oven. We lasted 3 long, sweaty, nowhere to hide from the sun days until we went to town and found a cheap hotel. You could tell the campers from the hotelers just from their mood!
