I want to buy a Cabanon Biscaya 370 all season.

http://www.de-wit.nl/winkel/showproduct.php?pID=151

I've heard that the price in de UK is much cheaper than in the Netherlands.  To buy this tent in the Netherlands is cost me about 1538.25 British Pounds Sterling.

My question is, who wants to help me to find a store in England where I can buy this tent and is the company able to sent the tent to the Netherlands. 

Thanks for your help !

The Biscaya is a fine tent but as it is French the euro/pound exchange rate drives the price and means the tent is relatively more expensive now than a year or two ago.

Currently advertised at £1325 from Forest Camping Centre see link below, but no idea on shipping rates.

I'd agree with the above comments re exchange rate and shipping costs, but wonder if you've considered collecting it from the UK? The store mentioned is close to many attractive campsites (see this website's Camp Site Search) in forest and coastal locations.   I imagine that if unable to send it economically, the store would be able to reserve the tent against a deposit, and you would be able to enjoy a holiday in Dorset. In the unlikely event of any problems with the tent you would be able to back to the store and avoid return shipping costs.

Hi

Crowland camping is our nearest shop, they have one for sale at £1,315.00. They are very helpful, email them and see if they can help you.

When the OH retires we hope to buy the Cabanon Vision, which they have for sale at £999. at the moment, dream on for another 2 years!

Hope you get one sorted!
