i would greatly appreciate any input......

thankyou

Dont worry Tina

we done exactly the same last year. bought a cheap argos tent, 2 weeks in Norfolk with rain but the tent stayed dry. , loved it, bought a nebraska xxl, heard all bad reviews, done a hose down test in the garden and no leaks. We bought from yeomans, they said if there are problems then we can take it back. then had babes No 3, and think tent may be to much hassel to put up, so ordered a cabanon neptune trailer tent for ease on this years hols.

do the hose test, some did get a good tent, it as only really the 2006 models that seemed to have a problem.

good luck

We bought the Nebraska XXL in 2006 from Yeomans at Ambleside. We have since had 3 of them. The 1st one had a few minor defects, holes in flyscreens, zip on bedroom pod didn`t zip properly etc, so it was returned for tent no 2.

Tent no2 leaked like a sieve so was returned for no3. No3 had a ruddy great hole in the SIG where the groundsheet hadn`t been sewn to the tent properly.

We have now given up on the XXL and are going to get Yeomans to give us a Vermont XL instead. Fingers crossed that our 4th tent is problem free!
