Pads side by side at their listed sizes, with the average man (5 ft 9 in) lying on each. "Tight" is under an inch to a wall or the sloping roof: the fabric gives, but a wet wall wets what touches it. Open it in TentCheck to try your own pads, cots and gear, or read how fits are checked.

| Packed weight | 166.4 oz (10 lb 6.4 oz) |
| Packed volume | 18.6 L |
| Regular pads that fit | 5 with an inch to every wall |
| Sit-up room on a pad, at the peak | +23 in for 35 in sitting height |
| Standing room | 0 sq ft at 5 ft 9 in, 0 sq ft at 5 ft 3.5 in |

| Groundsheet to cut | About 106 × 82 in |
On the campsite
Floor and vestibules together cover 108 × 84 in. On a square tent pad, as campgrounds list them: 8 × 8 ft: doesn't fit; 10 × 10 ft: fits; 12 × 12 ft: fits. Guylines and stakes need more room around that.
For a groundsheet, cut it a little smaller than the floor, about 2 in, so rain running off the fly doesn't collect on it and run under the tent: about 106 × 82 in.
Notes
Floor 108 × 84 in (9 × 7 ft), 59 in center height, one door and no vestibule, so gear rides inside. Coleman says it fits one queen-size air bed.

Roof shapes are modeled from the floor, the peak and how the poles hold the walls, not measured. Treat a result within an inch or two as too close to call.
