Hi

Last year we bought a Coleman Quadspace tent that we have been very pleased with.

However, during August, 2004 we were subjected to several nights of severe gales, and one of the yello durawrap poles that support the outer end of one of the accomodation pods suffered a split section.

Having used the tent again during Whitsun I have noted a section in another of the yellow poles has the same fault.

Going back to where we bought the tent to try and obtain a set of replacement poles has not been successful.

As it seems near impossible to get at the knotted ends of the poles to replace the damaged sections I am minded to acquire three complete replacement poles

Can anyone on this list advise who carries god supplies of Coleman spares please?

Coleman have a spares/repairs section on their website (http://www.coleman.com/coleman/parts/PartsDefault2.asp) or you could email them.... consumerservice at coleman.com

Pete.

Hi we had one of our yellow poles go too! I think its just the severe curve of the end of the bedroom pods ,we manages to repaire ours ,I know what you mean about the knots tho !! ,in the end I had to cut the elastic ,then use long nose pliers to grab hold of the knots inside the poles then pulled them out ,replacing the pole and elastic was cheep and easy enough!

Hi

In the end I, too, got in touch with Valerie at Coleman. They could not have been more helpful :-)

On receipt of proof of purchase they sent me a complete set of the yellow poles which examination shows to be slightly different to the originals suggesting there was some sort of manufacturing fault.

We have used the tent several times since, using the old yellow poles only to have nearly all of thise split whereas the new ones, and the other coloured poles seem to be fine.
