Hi All,

Has anyone one got any recent expereince regarding the RAGE Bodo Series of tents. I'm looking at a 3/4 Person Tunnel Tent in their range on E-Bay from a business called Tentastic.

The spec looks OK but have never heard of this brand before.

Thanks - Chris

There are mainly pretty bad reviews, do a search here for rage tents, and also tentastic and make up your mind from that.

we have one and it's a great little tent! plenty of room for us and the 2 dogs and it holds up to the weather nicely. think it's all down to personal preferences though. it's a great weekend tent for us, but we would use a bigger one for any longer than a weekend!

But see if you can buy it from somehwere else tho as tentastic are rubbish as said in the previous post!!!!

there is a picture on my gallery of our bodo 3.

I have a Bodo 3 which I use as a festival tent. It's very easy to erect and generally fine but, let's be honest, it's cheap and cheerful and there frankly isn't that much that could go wrong with it.

Tentastic are the only people who sell this brand and are the worst part of the equation. I bought another tent from them which was sub-standard and their customer service is almost non-existent (see many other threads on this forum!).

I just had a look at eBay and it seems you'll pay between £30 and £40 for a 3 berth Bodo. I would've thought you might get something from another vendor (one who values your custom I would hope) for around the same money.

How about this: http://www.dpbolvw.net/click-1428744-10475506?url=http://www.outdoormegastore.co.uk/acatalog/Easy_Camp_Torino_300_Camping_Tent.html

Best of luck!

I think the issue is it is a bit of a gamble - Gemma-lu has been one of the lucky ones and hers is okay, but if there is a problem then tentastic have a very poor customer care record. You will get better value for money from a reliable label and a reliable trader.
