Hi inked and welcome to UKCS a most addictive website. Good luck with your up and coming trip in your new tent, please let us know how it went when you return. Happy camping

First time poster - first time camper (since scouts 20 years ago anyway) Also with family - OH & 3 kids, 4-11. Fell into gullible category of buying cheap big Rage Volda family size tent. Just returned from breezy wet Anglesey (should have been weekend) one night stay. Rage tent lasted appprox 1hour 20 mins until final major failing of pole breaking - this after most pin straps tore off from flysheet v quickly.

Lucky we were with 5 other experienced camping families who tried to help with our tent until last rites were pronounced, then spent night in friends vango until returning next day!!

Thanks for response oldham - now about to buy another tent after lot more research and all of us still very keen.

Also thought it important to mention fair play to ebay supplier of aforementioned collapsed tent, they have offered full refund.

Inked!

Glad to see you have had a result with your tent. Chances always were that you would!

Humph65!

So sorry to see things didn't work out with your tent. Have you gone back to the retailer for an exchange or refund? I understand they are quite fair. Having said that I think you'll find your experience was not typical. You have seen what bordercaz and loads of others say in praise of their tent. Who is to say your experience in an Outwell or other brand named tent wouldn't have been just as miserable?

Good luck whatever you decide!
