Just been let down on the purchase of an Outwell Idaho XL from Go Outdoors at £349.

Don't want to spend £400 on the Idaho and then have to pay for the footprint and the expensive carpet, so I am going back to the other 2 tents on my shortlist, either the Khyam Quebec 8 or the Outwell Nevada XL. I will need to buy a porch as well. The Quebec has a part steel frame, the Nevada is fibreglass only but is cheaper.

Come on, anybody out there who can help me make the decision?

Regards,

Gary

All I can suggest is to go to a shop where they have these tents pitched so you can have a proper look and get a feel for what is right for you

Both are great makes so the decision is not an easy one

Hi Angie, seen the Quebec in the flesh and I must admit I do like the tent, but the Nevada isn't stocked anywhere local to me.

Was a bit worried about getting a blue tent, they seem a bit dark inside, although that may be a good thing in getting the kids to sleep??????????

Thanks Andrew, I hadn't seen that price at that supplier, so I will investigate.

Trouble is now im unsure again, Idaho XL, Quebec 8, Nevada XL.......decisions decisions.

I have the nevada xl, and and can't fault it at all. Its definitely not dark inside it has huge windows. Its so quick to pitch, less than half an hour all guyed out.

i got mine from winfields with the free carpet £229.

it was used last bank holiday in the gales and torrential rain, it was bone dry and coped well with the wind even though it was hitting it side on.

can't comment on the others, haven't seen any of them up.
