Well Tony decided to ring ABC on Monday gone, to see if there was any developments on the SV8. They told him that they had had a new batch in and after the replacements that were put aside, there would be 2 left. Also that if we decided to go ahead with the sale, we were assured that if anything would be to be wrong with the tent, we could have a refund. Tony said he'd ring them back, and spoke to me about it. I wasn't sure about buying from them but eventually agreed. We went down later that day, picked the tent up (ABC couldn't have been any nicer!), brought it home and erected it on Tuesday - NO PROBS WHATSOEVER - YAY!! It was very easy to put up and we tried the zip numerous times and it's great. We're not sure if it has been replaced with a more heavy duty zip too. Also received this email earlier this evening which I thought may be of interest.
Dear Tony
Thank you for your e-mail, our apologies for the delay in replying.
Yes, unfortunately we did have an initial problem with one batch of tents which has now been rectified.
Please feel confident in purchasing a Sun Valley 8 Tent.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you require any further information
Regards

I'd say if anyone is still interested in this tent, then to go ahead. :) |
