I have been looking at the Coleman Columbus 4 and the Vango Idaho 400 or 500. Does anyone own any of these tents and have any comments on them. I am slightly concered about the sun canopy entrace for leakage on the Coleman and the dividing curtain in the bedroom on the Vango for privacy. I was wondering if these concerns are well founded or if there is no problem. Thanks

Hi, the dividing curtain on the idaho 400 is flimsy, toggled from the top and loose at bottom so wouldn't give much privacy!

Thanks for the information about the idaho 400. I think we are just going to buy the Coleman Columbus 4 and hope for the best. Looking forward to our first camping trip.
