It's an outwell Arkansas 5 and somewhere between 2008 and 2010 but I cantbe sure which. Is it written down anywhere on the tent or the pole bag . I could look for myself but I don't fancy having to unwrap it then re wrap it unnecessarily as the back garden is still very damp.
Thanks,
David

I have had nine tents over the years and I have never known any of them to be marked with a date.

camdm, you are a very annoying person.
You have made me climb up into my freezing loft and unwrap my Lichfield Appache 3 tent, then unzip the inner tent door and climb inside.
On the right side of the inner tent as you climb in close to and level with the fire warning label is a specifications label. My Appache was made in May 2010, I could tell you the batch number and that it was made in China.
I would appreciate it if you would pop over the QE2 Bridge and roll my tent up again for me.
Hope you can find a similar label on your tent when the garden dries up, nice sunshine today though and the weather is set fair.
But, why would you want to know this?

You can tell the age by a code on the label of Vango tents but not sure about other brands.

As stated all Outwell tents have a tag on the inside of the right hand side of the inner that states the year of manufacture.

Bramston,
I might be annoying but your just weird, playing with your tent at 11 30 pm.Ha ha.are you covering the £2 each way toll fee or are you ok if I pop over between midnight and 6 am to keep the costs down.
Anyway the reason for wanting to know is I have finally tracked down a kids room for the tent after two seasons of looking but it won't fit 2010 or 2011 tents, which I think includes mine.
I was hoping to buy it without my wife knowing but that's going to be pretty hard if I have to unroll the tent in the middle of the living room first.

When you pop over here after midnight to repack my tent in the loft, you could bring your tent along. What with unrolling it, hunting for the specs. label then rolling it back up and stuffing it in it's bag you should be home by 6am. Thus getting free use of the Dartford Crossing.
I'm sure your wife won't be at all suspicious if she notices you sneaking out all night with the tent.

Bramston,
If only you'd said so half an hour before. You could have saved me from wriggling around inside my tent which is too big to unroll in my living room whilst my wife just sat there laughing.
Not only that but it's only now that I have re rolled it and re packed it away in the back of the garage that I seem to have mislaid my torch somewhere. I wonder where it could be.
Anyway after all that it's a 2009, so the kids room fits and I am a very happy camper.

Congrats.
Hope you find the torch eventually.
