Its the 2 that are adjustable in teh front and back.
Go figure. It held up good during a recent rain storm.

you might want to check prices at campmor.com. I have found that for just a little more money, you can enter a new level of quality......

I buy my tents off Ebay. New-in-the-box, high-end tents with warranties. I've bought the $200 Sierra Designs Electron for $90 and the $459 Sierra Designs Bedouin 6 for $183. It's not rocket science. But yes, I buy my Coleman Fuel, mantles and paper plates at WalMart.

I looked into getting replacement poles for my old Coleman Sundome. It was about $60 for the poles and shipping. For $90 I could replace the whole tent. I got a new tent. But, as my Coleman poles were split, not snapped, I repaired them with duct tape and they work fine.

Either way, I HIGHLY recommend a new, better quality tent. However, I got the quote from these guys. They were recommended by others on this board a couple of years ago when I asked the same question you did.

I have a small Ozark trail and several Coleman tents. All are OK after sealing seams.
