Maybe it's me but I thought the Colorado range had been discontinued, can't find it on Outwell's website but Somerset Camping (see here ) are advertising a 2006 model???

Never be afraid to try something new, remember.... Amateurs built the 'Ark'... but Professionals built the 'Titanic' !!!
We bought a Colorado 5 at the end of 2004, and when we got it home we discovered that it was this lighter shade of blue. Took it back to change it for the darker blue one and were told that they had a batch of these tents that were designed for the Continent, where we were told that brighter colours were what was looked for in a tent, not our muted blues and greens! This was not at Somerset World, but at a retailer not very far from there.
The best way to check if it is a new model or not is whether it has aluminium poles, as I am sure they were upgraded at the same time as the Montana's were. We were unlucky enough to lose our Colorado 5 in some windy weather last May Bank Holiday, the poles totally gave way and the tent was a right off.
Liked the shape and size of the Colorado so much we have now purchased a Montana 6, can't wait to try it for the first time at Easter!
back to the topic (I know boring!!) the colorado from last year had HH of 4000 and has 2 sleeping pods so the description doesn't match that either. So that's another one of us confused .
Oh and Pete look forward to meeting the rest of the "family" (camp, and campest etc)
