Hi  sorry to break in but, I am totally new to camping.  I am really stuck on how to fix the guy ropes on my rage tent to the ground.  Do you know where there are any diagrams for me to view how to do it?

I know this sounds dumb      I know its got to to be simple.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Are you saying it didn't come with any tent pegs to peg the guylines to the ground (at 45 degree angles) or the guylines are not attached to the tent?

Hi,

I have just purchased a Rage Altea 6 from Tentastic in Preston, on Ebay for £64.00, we wanted a tunnel tent, because my husband is 6ft 3, he hates when we go camping when he has to crouch at the ends, you end up with a bad neck.  We are going to France next week to camp in Calvados, we are delighted with our new tent, its massive, we will  use the other rooms for clothing etc and sleep in one room, i have a 10 yr old girl, she wont sleep in a tent without us, so it works well, there is loads of room to erect a kitchen and a table and chairs inside, a really bargain, if you buy, buy of tentastic on ebay, not through their shop, they are cheaper on ebay.   Really easy to put up, no problems, loads of head height.

Hope this helps.

Regards

ps. they do a Rage Altea 5, which might be a bit smaller for you.

The minimum hydrostatic head recommendation for the UK is 1500.  Personally I would only ever buy from well known manufacturers such as Vango and Outwell.

DONT DO IT!!!! NEVER EVER EVER BUY FROM TENTASTIC!!! THEY ARE USELESS (AND SO ARE THE TENTS!!)

IM TALKING FROM PERSONAL EXPERIENCE!!!!!

I have just spent this very wet weekend in my Rage Alta 4DX which I purchased from Tentastic a few weeks ago on e-bay. This is the second time it has been used (it was just used as the beer tent the first time) and I have been impressed by the quality.

There were NO leaks, breaks, rips or anything else to complain about. It's a great tent for the money. I would say it is better quality than my previous tent - a Royal tent which I bought 4 years ago and which is still going strong although one or two running repaits have been made over the years.
