G'day Vanessa,

The removable square mesh on the inside of the ceiling is a gear hammock, you can pop odds and ends up there so they're safe and you know where to find them. Generally, I'd store my mattress and sleeping bag covers up there, along with my headtorch overnight.

G'day Suzanne,

You can get in/out of the rear door, however, there isn't a vestibule on the back, there is a D-shaped door.

G'day Angela,

There aren't any guy ropes, or guy rope attachment points on the Traveller 3P windows. The tent does features floor vents for ventilation in wet weather though.

G'day Wilson,

The two tents are quite different and sit in two different categories. The Traveller 3P tent is a low height dome-style tent, with fibreglass poles that you connect and attach to the tent fabric. It has enough room for two, and packs down into a nice compact lightweight carry bag. The Instant Up Gold 4P is a much larger tent, with a steel instant style frame. There is enough room for 2-3 people, and enough height for most people to be able to stand up. The tent packs away with the tent remaining attached to the poles. The overall packaged size and weight is more than double that of the Traveller 3P.

G'day Joe,

Technically the Monstamat is a tiny bit too long to fit, however, we have sold this combo to a few people and they've made it work, the mattress will just be pushing up against the sides of the tent.

The only tents we know of that come with a UPF rating are beach shelters and gazebo type shelters, Eddy, as they are designed for shelter during the day. normal tents are generally not tested for UPF protection as it is assumed they will be mainly used for shelter overnight when UV danger is obsolete. 

The fabrics are often treated to resist UV damage, but this doesn't indicate UV protection. I'd say this would provide good protection given there are two layers of fabric for the light to get through, but I can't give you an exact rating, sorry.

G'day Rhys,

We'd generally recommend the Oztrail Ultramesh Tarp to go underneath any tent as it will allow water to pass through, but will protect the base of the tent. The smallest option is the 2.44 x 2.44m which will give you a little bit of extra width, but not too much. Depending on how you set it up it will come out under the front vestibule area a little, but not all the way. If you're wanting something a little larger that will encompass the entire base of the tent and vestibule then the 2.44 x 3.65m option will be your best option.

G'day Katrina,

Yes, the Coleman Traveller 3P has some similarities to the now discontinued Tanami 3 Tent. They are a fairly similar size and are of similar quality. Black Wolf now replaced their Tanami 3 with the Classic Dome 3 , which has a slightly lower waterproof rating but is of similar size and quality. Another great option to consider is the Zempire Neo 3, they're a little more compact and lighter than the Traveller 3P when packed with the same waterproof rating.

G'day Philippa.

The Traveller 3P tent is a little low to use a stretcher in sorry, the curve of the tent will mean that it's nearly impossible to get up on the stretcher itself. 

G'day Darren,

The small D-shaped ventilation panels near the floor are a double layer,  so mesh externally and solid nylon internally, which means you'll be able to keep dust and sand out.

G'day RK,

If you're wanting to camp in the snow then the Coleman Traveller 3P won't really cut the mustard. You could add a tarp underneath the tent to help but ultimately this is only a 3 season tent and doesn't have the waterproof rating or pole structure to withstand snowfall. You can check out our 4 season tent by selecting the 4 season tick box in the left-hand filter column.

G'day Brett,

I'd had a crack at fitting the 10 LXWs into the Traveller 3p we have up instore.  They'll definately fit but you won't have room for much else! 

G'day Johnnie,

You're right, based on the measurements it should fit fine. My concern would be, and the problem that the previous reviewer was having, is that as the tent walls slope inwards you might find your head and feet touch the sides. I'm pretty short so I'd be fine to wriggle into the middle of the mat but if you're taller this might not be ideal. 

G'day Kate,

We gave this a go in the store and it will fit, but only just. Its a bit of a squeeze and it needs to be assembled inside the tent as you'll never get it through the door. A slightly bigger tent would probably be a better option. 

G'day Riz,

To replace the pegs you've got on your Coleman Traveller 3P Tent, I'd suggest looking at the Supa Peg Polycarbonate Sand Pegs. Grab one for each of the peg points on your tent so that you're totally covered. As for the size you'd need, it depends a little on the sand you're camping in and how much wind you're planning on camping in but I would suggest looking for at least 300mm long. 

G'day Riz,

For camping at the beach, I'd recommend either using the Supa Peg Polycarbonate Sand Pegs or the Supa Peg Polypropylene Sand Pegs. 

G'day Trent,

It sounds like maybe the water is coming through the floor. I would suggest maybe investing in a groundsheet to protect your tent from water seeping through the floor. 

G'day Trent,

Unfortunately, the King Goanna Stretcher is a little long for the Coleman Traveller 3P Tent. Dome style tents tend not to be compatible with stretchers due to the curved nature of the side walls. 

G'day Jason,

To be safe, we'd recommend you grab 16 sand pegs to cover all your bases for the Coleman Traveller 3P Tent. As for which peg you need, you'd be fine with getting the Poles Apart 225mm Plastic Sand Tent Pegs.

G'day Jim, 

I've just checked with the info supplied by Coleman here, and it looks like the Traveller 3P has taped seams so you won't need to use any seam sealant. Thanks for the compliment Jim! That's great to hear that you're loving the site. 

Hi Barr, If you're setting this tent up by yourself, it'll take roughly 15 minutes. A little longer if you haven't set up a tent before and if you include clearing the area as part of the set up time. There will be at least 8 pegs to setup the tent itself and there should be at least another 6 for the guy ropes, though there may be a few more depending on the amount of guy ropes they use. The outer fly attaches to the inner mesh with velcro points. The velcro attaches to the fiberglass poles of the inner mesh,then the elastic loops on the corners of the outer fly fit around the existing pegs you use to peg out the inner mesh with. Most dome tents will work on the same principle.

There is no 'off the shelf' kit available Dave, but should you have any problems, we can certainly help you out with replacement parts. Generally if anything happens with these poles, all that is required is a replacement section rather than a complete pole set.
