Advertised as a large, luxurious tent - which it is - it's even got a built in shower! First trip away in it and we got wet, exchanged it and tried again....oh and guess what? Got wet the second time too!  Even managed to get puddles in the bedroom compartments.  So, where do we go now?  Looking at a Vango Vail 700 - any advice?

However, that said, the Outwell is a great layout, really spacious and light in colour so feels airy and bright - don't really want to get rid of it - any advice on where we can get it waterproofed? We tried the outwell seam sealer but saw no visible improvement!

Get a Royal Peascara 8.  Same layout as the Nebraska but without the leaks! (so far)

we have brought a pescara 8  from tony wild camping last week goning away next week can't wait 

don't know your location but they have one up in the grounds of woburn abbey

same layout has extra annexe at the back 

have read on here there is problems with the nebraska leaking  

Suns,

I was interested to hear you sprayed your Nebraska XL with Fabsil. I tried Fabsil on the seams of an old toilet tent made of nylon and it just ran off. When I sprayed it with water that area reacted no differently than the non Fabsil area.

I also read on one of the "paint on" Fabsil tins that application is not recommended for taped seams as it "unglues" them!!

have you had any problems since the FABSIL application?

We also returned an Outwell Nebraska XL, last year, for it's unwanted water features.

We have stuck with Outwell and gone for the Georgia XL, which is inner up first, but offers pretty much what the Nebraska offered, without the sprinkler system lol.

We have just returned from a fairly rainy camping trip and the Nebraska was superb, not a dot of water on the inside. It had a real hammering in the last 2 days also.

We've been told by an Outwell supplier that the prob came about as a result of one dodgy cheaper batch of fabric Outwell used in the Nebraska some time late last year (allegedly!!). Hence the leaking reports.

We have found the Nebraska to be fabulous and very pleased we went for the XXL. We would love a baby Nebraska version just for the 2 of us when the kids are at grannies:))

Go for the royal pescara 8......same tent,it also has a nice little storage area/toilet tent on the back where the nebraska doesn't.

As for windows they are all in the porch area and behind the sleeping areas...there is one in the annexe on the back also.....you would sit in the massive porch area on rainy days........not as bright as the nebraska cuz of the material colour and there are windows at the rear.......carpets and footprints off the nebraska are exactly the same and would fit.
