I have just bought and erected my new Coastline 6 and I believe there is a problem with it.
On the single bedroom, the sides of the bedroom sag terribly, to the point that you cannot lay in there without touching the sides.
When I looked into this, I can see that in the corners of the tent there are elastic bands with plastic pieces in them, obviously for hooking onto the bedroom.
The issue is the bedroom has no matching elastic bands with plastic holes to attach to. It requires ones similar to the top of the bedroom pods that attach to the roof of the tent.
Has anyone else noticed this?
I have emailed Coleman, but no answer yet 'cos it's the weekend?
My first tent so any advice would be helpful.
cheers

Sounds like you have a duff sleeping pod that has not had all its attachment toggles or straps sewn on (Coleman usually have elastic mounted rings on the tent and elastic mounted toggles on the pod). If the tent has fixing points, but the pod none to match up then something is not right.
I would take this up with whoever you purchased it from as soon as you can and get an exchange.
Didn't notice any issue with mine - just purchased and already been put up last weekend. It might sound silly - (but trust me I've done it before myself and I've had tents for years) but are you sure you had the bedroom pod aligned correctly? The top centre attachment is colour coded so all the others end up in the right place? I didn't see any headroom problems in mine (see my pics in the tent review or my gallery)

Thanks for the post, but yes all set up ok, i have since had a couple of toggles sewn in.
Did you not think that the end bedroom on it's own sags down at the back? I have to admit i have not set it up fully with all the guy roles so maybe that will help...?
No, I didn't think it looked like it sagged at the back? If I remember, the rear was held up all the way round from floor to highest point of roof, although I set it up so quickly I didn't pay much attention to be fair. Next time I use it (September) I'll try and double check and take some more photos which may be is use...

Would be interested to know if your is ok in September.
That bedroom pod toggles at the top, then slopes to the plasric catches in the corners, where as the bigger pod has two lines of toggles from the roof and sides...
