Hi Folks

Looking to buy an Outwell Vermont L tent and wondered how long I should wait to get the best deal on a 2010 model before the prices go up on the 2011 models?

Any advice would be appreciated, I don't want to wait too long to suddenly see the prices jump up.

Cheers

Al

Purchased my wynnster raven 8 a week before xmas got it at the knockdown price of £150

Do they tend to advertise these sales or not?

I am also looking to purchase my first tent, ready for next year. I really like the look of the Hi Gear Kalahari 8. I know it has been reduced to £199 recently from £299 (missed this offer as didn't have the funds available), just wondered it it is likely to go back to this, or indeed any lower?

If you like the Kalahari 8 then have a look at the Khyam Ontario 8

Much better tent for the money in my opinion:
Wider and longer (7.5m x 3.7m) therefore giving you more space 
Better HH rating - 5000mm compared to 3000mm
Spacious bedrooms (2 x 2 berth, 1 x 4 berth which can be divided) which can accommodate 8 x 75cm wide aribeds

Price around £200 (if you haggle and pay cash you might get the footprint groundsheet thrown in for free like we did!!)

Yes they do and tents are usually cheaper online than in the shops so it might be a good idea to put a link to the various online camping suppliers on your desktop or in your favourites then you can click on them regularly and catch the early bargains.

Keep on eye on these forums too...people will often tell you when there is a good deal going somewhere...once they have bought one for themselves of course
