HI JUST PURCHASED AN OUTWELL NEBRASKS XL HAS ANYONE ELSE GOT ONE OF THESE IF SO PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT THERE LIKE

---

no im depressed thought i was buying a really good tent   where do they leak and what can i do to prevent it plese help and reassure me

Errect the tent and test it with a hose, if it leaks return it to the supplier,under the sale of goods act.Not all the tents leaked only some,if it is off ebay you may hit problems,but all is not lost, you can purchase seam sealer from most camping shops.

YOU WONT KNOW IF THERE IS A PROBLEM TILL YOU TEST IT!!!!

hi im going to get mine today. have a look in the search option there are a few happy xl owners.yessome did have problems.where did you buy your tent from?

Hi guys well i just bought the new 2007 Nebraska XL about 3 weeks ago and 2 weeks ago we eventually erected it in the back garden done the hosepipe test and there were no leaks....................... left it out to dry off and then the bad weather came .................. the heavens opened and we had heavy rain, sleet, snow and hailstone and i have to say there were no leaks whatsoever and the tent withstood all of the gale force winds.

I was really nervous about it after reading the threads on here but i can definitely say that its a fab tent and you shouldnt have any problems, if you do take it back the dealer, but i'm sure you won't need to do that.

Its really easy to put up as well took my hubby about 40 minutes so obviously that time will be cut the more we get used to putting it up.

All in all its a fab tent.

Hope thats helped......................... so stop worrying everything will be fine

Hello and welcome to UKCs bluelewis. There were some leaking problems with SOME 2006 Outwell tents like the Nebraska. SO you do not know if you have got a problem until you test it. Get it up on the garden and use the hosepipe (or the forces of nature, if it rains!)

If it does leak you will find patches of water on the floor inside. If you are inside it whilst raining you should be able to spot where it is coming through on the seams.

If it leaks then take it back. If you have a problem with returns or refunds, then you can get silicon seam sealant, which works fine. I had a leaky 2003 Khyam which was cured perfectly using this.

The Nebraska is a great tent with a lot of nice features, I am sure you will have many happy times in it! 

my tent came from west mids camping(yeomans) at codsall and wergs  nr perton wolverhampton

If there is a problem you should be fine as Yeomans have a good reputation forn customer service. I'm picking my new Outwell Vermont XL from West Mids Camping on Thursday so you are in good company.

Do you know if you have a 2006 or 2007 model - 2007 added a thermometer and the velco guy rope tidy straps if that helps.
