Hi everyone,

Great forum!

After having camped many times over the last 5 years in an 8 man cheapo Argos tent have decided to splash out on something better with SIG. After looking at all the advice and reviews on here decided on Coleman Mackenzie 8 from GoOutdoors at £225, ordered last monday and waited. Just called to check on the order and was informed they have none left!

Does anyone know of anywhere else selling these at such good price or can anyone recommend something similar. Needs to have SIG at least 3 bedrooms no more that £400. Really liked the flexible bedroom arrangements in the coleman and all the windows.
Hope someone can help.
Katy

Hi KTHP and welcome to ukcs! That really was a good price. Other places have it for £350 but i suppose your not wanting to pay that for it? Maybe find a site that will match the price? Good luck and i hope you get sorted.

Thanks for your reply Kate,

Maybe I should just go for it at £350 seeing as I like the tent and I have spent MANY hours choosing!

Like a bargin though, doesn't feel right paying over £100 more.

Just can't seem to find many tents with so many windows.

Back to the drawing board.....

Hi.

 I have seen this tent on Yeomansoutdoors it is £349.00 but they do include two chairs, still disapointing for you though.

What about the Gelert Meridian.We have the Michigan 10 the previous model a great tent the only drawback is that it doesn't have sig but loads of space and light.

Hi Katy,

We bought this one - its fab - and I saw it on world of camping for £299 - also the website says they will price match so might do it for £225 if you ask?

Hope that helps

Hi KTPH welcome to the forum.

 Have you considered any of the outwells the vermont or the montana theygseem to fit all of your requirements SIG, huge living are and loads of windows. Like you we spent hours decidinf which tent to spend our money on and finally decided to plump for the vermont m, don't regret it for a moment. Have posted a review on this site and there are pics on my profile if that is any help to you.

We were in the Go Outdoors in Stockport last week and the salesman (whilst trying to sell us the Coleman) told us they had 'loads' in stock from Coleman direct, maybe try phoning there.

Hi Katy,no wonder they have none in stock at that price.Like you say if you have done all that research and it is just what you want,I personally would buy it at the higher price.I think the rrp is £449,so still a good discount.Have a look here at outdoormegastore for afew alternatives.The Outwell Nevada XL looks similar and is £229.99.I can recommend Outwell.We have had 3 and are very pleased with the quality.
