Hi, looking for a bit of advice. I have recently bought my father in law a tent so we could have a family holiday together as neither of us have much money. When we picked up the tent we checked the poles but never even thought to check the bedrooms were there and were due to go away in 4 weeks. The seller is just completely ignoring all messages and phone calls and has moved out of the house where we collected it from so just having to take it as a loss!
Was wondering if anyone had any idea where I could buy some bedrooms for a campus Indiana 8. I have rang winfields and they could offer no advice and ringing compass isn't getting anywhere as no one answers!! At this point I'm not even bothered about perfect fit bedrooms just something useable.
Thanks for any help
Lauren

There are sometimes bedroom pods for sale on Ebay. You can also get bedroom pods for caravan awnings which are basically attached to the awning frame.
I would imagine you could get some sort of bedroom sorted with any of the above, albeit not a prefect match!

If you google universal tent inner there are lots of results at around £20 each. You'd have to make a guess about which would fit best.

So sorry that this has happened, Lauren, but don't worry, you can buy universal inners quite cheaply:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Andes-Universal-Camping-Caravan-Bedroom/dp/B00KXYAGFM/ref........

One of these (3 berth size) clipped in either end would work so at least you would still have inner tents to sleep in, you could even attach some more elastics by sewing some to the edges if you wished to match them up with the loops around the edge of the tent and get a better use of space.

You might even (funds permitting and depending on how many people are needing to sleep in the tent) manage to get 2 x 2 berth inners at each end if you need more sleeping areas

Alternative option might be pop up inner tents but not as good a solution.

I hope you have a wonderful holiday, that seller clearly must have known that the inners were missing, but karma and all that....

Hope you get it sorted out and do let us know how you get on!

Jane.

Sorry to hear about your bad experience, that is out of order. If you bought the tent on eBay you should be able to get at least some of your money back by opening a case in the resolution centre. In my experience they are very good at sorting out problems.

Good luck and have a great holiday

They're both Indiana 8, but one's a Campus, the other an Outwell, so not the same tent.
The Campus has 4 at each end of a vis-a-vis, The Outwell has 6 at the back, plus two in the middle, of a tunnel tent.
No idea whether they could be made to work though. Any leftover bedrooms from a dead tent might be worth a look?I'll let other's work that out!

Here's the link to "The other Indiana 8", that's just died!

Did you get sorted? Whats your location? I have a full set of inner tents from a coleman columbus 8--review and measurements on this site. Any good? or of any use to anybody in a similiar position? I,m not looking to make any money from this--you sort the postage.
