Cost me 200 quid to buy them a new tent. On the last day a gale blew up from the north and destroyed the frame of my Coleman Sahara. It's now in a Yorkshire skip. It would have been cheaper going on a Caribbean cruise.
I also have the sahara 8, was there anything yu coul dhave de to prevent this or anything I can do to stop mine going in a wind?
this is th eonly thing that worries me with this tent...
althogh its been great for the last 10 days in Essex was windy there too..
Ps which skip is it in maybe I can use the body ...lol sorry just kidding we have to laugh abou tthese things or tears there will be.

i know. Do you know what everyone looks at me incredously and says "i never saw you as a camper", but I love it. I don't need to take everything but I figure if I dont use it this time i wont take it next time. May have payed for it now but it may come in handy later and if not someone else might want it ( still want the day tent though not sure if I need it)
Get the day tent they are a god send and you dont get any cooking smells or splashes in your main tent

I think I got off lucky! First tent (Cabanon Nadia) was donated by the inlaws along with camp kitchen, table and stove. With the kids taking up the backseat I looked for a trailer and got a 6' by 4' for £80 from a neighbour, now with the Mondeo and trailer both full I have just invested £36 on a roofbox from ebay. The most expensive pieces of camping kit have been the 'new' Espace tent (£250 ebay bargain) and the towbar!
