I am in the look see for an Icarus as I see it gets so many good reports. So been trawling various websites and found this

http://koolkamping.com/store/index.php?act=viewProd&productId=260

Then remembered the good advice on here and thought of the Go outdoors price promise with an extra 10% off. I looked on their website as wondered can you get it online as well as in store?

Is the bluebell/ensign one of this years colours?  When I went to Go Outdoors they only sold the laurel one and the guy said that was the only colour they came in for 2010.

Is Kool camping a reputable site to buy from?

Hi
I just road tested my Icarus 500. Love it! Total novice but managed to pitch in about 45mins with just me and my 12yr old ( oh and a fat Cocker Spaniel that thought it was fun to keep sitting on it!) It's a lovely size, we had a double and single airbed in the pod' as Josh calls it with dog basket between us.
Really impressed, although i did have a 'saggy front end' but think i'm just doing something wrong-will be looking fo help on here lol I also wanted blue but hey ho.
Srah

Lovin it so far!!!!!!

Oops, price has just jumped to £140 again. Methinks the previous price was a mistake. Bet they wondered why they had a sudden rush on them!

Can only see the £139.99 price. What was it before they changed it?
