Taking a chance, and a bit of a gamble........

Been bidding and have won a Hi-Gear Corado8 for £150 from HERE

Not sure about the specified fault but will have the tent up next week round my parents.....

Never owned one,but never really heard bad stories about them. For that kinda price it's well worth the gamble. Hope the problem is simply just a return , then happy days. Let us know how you get on...

I bought a Mojave 5 from them and was really pleased with it. Only a hook missing from the bedroom pod. Hope you are pleased with your bargain.

The only problem that seems to keep cropping up with the Corado is the front door zip being hard to close, the longer the tent is up the harder it is to close. We came across an owner this year who had exactly that problem. Also as "suns" has alreasy mentioned be careful with the open front canopy in the wind.
Good luck with your new tent

Experience enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again.
Everything has been said before, but since nobody ever listens we have to keep going back and saying it all over again and again and again

Well it arrived....... after looking at the picture we are missing 4 side poles (the ones with two straight poles and one with a kink at one end) other than that it looks good.

its been erected and possibly used but looks in good condition, will be erecting the frame that we have on monday to find out exactly where we are.

the contents list is:

1 x tent
4 x bed pods
6 x roof pols with slight bends
8 x upright poles (think there should be 12?)
2 x long thin poles with black plugs on either end & hangers
2 x short thin poles for external flap/door

dont know if you can get the spare upright poles? as spares.

Statement from thier ebay advert clearly states:

All products listed are returns but good condition. They have been tested and checked by ourselves and ANY faults that are found are stated in the description.

Did it say that poles were missing when you were bidding ?  They obviously didn't test and check it very well did they ?

Why not get back on to them and ask where they are ?

 

Pete.

But:


Reason for return – Unspecifed fault

Unless stated or pictured, we have provided as much information as we have on the fault (if there is one). All our items have been returned. In not possible to unpack everything and double check the fault so we have to go on what the buyer has told us.

This is reflected in the 99p start price.



It does give a 7 day returns policy........ so think quick whether to keep or not!

Canvas tent, paraffin light, petrol stove. Heaven
I'd rather be kayaking.
Spent up, not pent up, just had my new tent up.
