It's very frustating to be honest, I thought they had got this tent spot. 

The Bear Lake 6 is a great tent also, but again we were unlucky to end up with one of the tents from a faulty batch (this was a couple of years ago now).  There was no problems getting a refund as the supplier had several he needed to return, but it caused us a lot of anxious moments trying to get the door shut on holiday.

Another one with the same problem here.  Our mesh door on the side with the porch is splitting as well.  OH thought that it was the pole length incorrect but now not so sure.  Problem is, we bought ours at the NEC show in 2008 so well over 2 tears old.  Pity that we didnt think about this a little more, but we have only used it twice.  Hopefully Go Outdoors will be nice to us.  Will call them and post how we get on.

Here goes !

Is everyone loosening the strap at one end of the porch pole fitting?

Sorry if this sounds like i'm stating the obvious but mine only fits when this strap is at it's loosest.

Reemo,

Certainly tried the loose strap, even took the porch pole out altogether.  We could still see the tension pulling across the mesh inner door, especially in the top right corner.

I had to complete an Outwell survey to be entered into a prize draw (leaflet inside the tent bag when we bought it). So in the comments section at the end of the survey, I did actually include a link to the UKCampsite review section and said it would tell them more than I ever could in 50 words!

... but apparently Outwell haven't had any problems and they change the design ever year!!!

Hmmm! I very nearly bought a Vango Orchy 600 last week but when I got to the tent shop I saw the Nevada M pitched right next door and preferred it ALOT.  I love the height, windows, canopy bit over the side door etc etc. I had pretty much decided this was the tent I wanted as a weekender or me alone with the kids tent but now am a little worried.

Everywhere seems to be out of stock atm but everyone seems to say they will have new stock at the beginning of July.  So am I right in thinking the 2009 model is better?  Or perhaps we just dont know yet?  The peak of summer is yet to start and I suppose people will only notice or have problems when they have the tent pitched for a day or two. 

Hmmm. Not sure what to do now.
