Following my post the other day about my new Idaho XL having a hole in it I have today got my new one.

I have not had chance to look at it yet (weather!!!) but fingers crossed there will be no problems with this one!!

Please everyone keep your fingers crossed for me.... we go away next week so running out of time to get sorted! 

Thanks

You have spurred us on to get our new Hartford out of it's box and check it over ASAP before we go away.

One advantage of local buying - we have no hassles with taking it back and exchanging it - but am sure all will be well.

Have a great trip

Hi Gary.

The hole was on one of the ends of tent near the bottom. It was a 1 inch by 1 inch right angled tear. Very annoying! Don't you worry I am sure yours will be fine, like I said it is just my luck!!

First tent had a hole in the end by the vents in the bedroom plus a zip on the vent that had been sewn to close to shut the vent.  Second one had a hole in the main tunnel entrance beneath the curved pole.  The roof poles were taken down and all the elastic had come away so whilst usable ( I suppose I could have rethreaded them) why should I when it cost so much.  It wasn't windy that weekend.  I do just think we've been really lucky but the latest one is still in its bag, and we won't have time (or space) to put it up before the main holiday so I'll be keeping my fingers crossed.  Despite all this it really is a great tent and the space in side really versitile.

not just me then - it seems the elastic bit just isnt supported all the way through like a normal flexi-pole - i have complained to Outwell and the supplier "world of camping" day one and no acknowledgement yet - like you say they are still usable but at £350  I want this to be right :( who replaced yours ? supplier or manufacturer?
