Hey everybody,

We just bought a new tent, see link below. It's a Coleman 8 person tent.

Coleman Bayside 8 People Family Tent - Orange : Target

I have to say I was cussing at this thing while setting it up, mainly because the Chinese/English instructions didnt match the tent. The picture on the link is very similar, but not the exact shape, causing me so much fury. But it came out nice. It has a "vent" that looks more like a doggy door, so laughed when our dogs ran full throttle into the vent, which wasnt open. It's rediculously large, like 2 queen size mattresses could easliy fit.
Also, I bought this because my small REI tent's (really expensive) pole went out (no more elastic band to hold them together). Any way to fix this? I was bummed that my old $25 walmart tent outlasted my $180 REI tent.
