I would definately take the refund and either ebay the extras or try and buy the same model.Otherwise the problem will always be an issue and you will never feel totally at ease.

Sounds to me that  like you would like a new tent for next year .

You are not happy with the net, it will likely annoy you even more next year. Then you will find you won't be able to sell it for as much because its damaged. Also it seems that the extensions are not going to be readily available either with the range discontinued.

 I'd take the refund, but keep the carpet, and sell the footprint.

the carpet will maybe fit the next tent you get, if tunnel design is your favourite. The nevada xl carpet would fit in most 8 berth tunnels of similar style/layout. I have this one, and use the carpet in a sunncamp eden 800, although its about a metre too short in the width, it serves the same purpose, and also use it in my kestrel 6, again,not wide enough, but adequate. Nobody notices that it's not wall to wall and never had a trip hazard with it either.

My carpet came with my tent as a package deal, to buy a carpet seperately for the tent, or for the other 2 tents I have would cost between £40- £60, and with prices increasing so dramatically, next year they will probably be a lot more expensive.

if you decide ona different layout where you can't make use of the carpet you'll probably  have no trouble selling it next season .

but as the prices are going up so much, personally I'd be buying next years tent from this years range, before the increases.

Thankyou to everyone who replied to my thread, this is such a fantastic site and I am very grateful to everyone who replied and value their opinions.  After a long time debating we have come to the decision that we are going to keep it and try and get it mended because we like the tent so much and because of prices going up next year.  The shop we bought it from refunded the p & p which they didn't have to so that was a nice goodwill gesture which not many would do nowadays.  So we are now trying desperately to find the side extention (porch) from somewhere, I would think most have sold out but we live in hope, if anyone knows where they still have them please could you let me know.

Once again, thanks for listening and all your advise.

Look at the Royal Pescara 8 ZG its the same size and design as the Nebraski. There is a brilliant review of it on this site. Also the Royals don't seem to have the leak and quality problem that Outwells have.

Does anyone know if the sunvalley extension would fit the nevada?

I'm assuming they are the same colour, and  a lot of the side extensions for tunnel tents will fit other makes and models.

Any retailers out there know?
