Out of interest what was wrong with the Raven?
Hi there. We liked the tent itself (which is why we’ve replaced it with the very similar Horizon 8), but we think we were sent an old model by mistake (we paid for the 2009 model). The “problems” were very minor, but the issue we had was that it was being advertised as having various features that were blatantly absent from our tent, e.g:
1. No emergency repair kit.
2. Guy Line tidies - "elastic loops that are attached to the tent so that the guy lines can be quickly and conveniently tidied".
3. Secondary mesh doors.
After comparing the tent side by side with the other new Raven 8, other differences included:
- The flysheet crossed over at each corner of the tent instead of being a continuous piece of fabric as it is on our tent (this is also clear when you zoom in on the tent image on the Wynnster website)
- The windows at the end of the tent were velcroed down the side to enable them to be shut fully - on our tent there is just a single piece of velcro on the bottom
- The 2 main windows were very obviously bigger (wider) than our tent;
So, like I said, nothing major but enough to make use had been slightly mislead.
Fortunately, the company we purchased it from was excellent and gave a full refund and collected the tent once we had made them aware of the issues.
