We have just come back from a very nice camping holiday in North Wales and had a superb time . . . apart from discovering, after a night of torrential rain, that our lovely Bear Lake 4 leaks! 17

The tent is over a year old now and has been water tight up until now.  Does anyone have any tips on how to seal up the leaks (the water came in through the bottom of the windows on each side of the front door of the tent)?

Thanks very much!

our curtains got damp there last week in Conwall.... we put it down to condensation. It was the first time we had used the tent but we had pitched it and soaked it before we went away!

Speak to the shop you got it from they may recomend something.  We did this for an 18 month old tent and they exchanged it, or offered us some free fabsil.

Worth a try.

Well, just to update - we have had a result - Yeomans have agreed to exchange our tent, so we just have to wait for our local Yeomans to contact us once the stock arrives! 

Yay!
