could be worth the drive

I am so glad I bought a 2010 model over the winter. £199 brand new. Sorry, not trying to rub it in emmatobin, but have had so much bad luck myself getting stuff at a reasonable price, or even at all! (can't get a Florida 6 carpet for love nor money as been discontinued). 2011 prices are through the roof for some things. Good luck though. If I see a bargain I will let you know.

If last year is anything to go by you should see the odd "weekend special" starting to appear next month. The two "big boys" to watch are Go Outdoors and Yeomans (the Yeomans tent shows will also start next month). Last year I bought our Nevada M by using Go's price match on a weekend 25% of deal at Yeomans. Throughout the year various deals kept happening - so keep your eye's peeled.

As for the difference between 2010 and 2011 models there are some extra guy lines which Velcro round the tent poles (Outwell call this their "Wind Stabilizer System") which doesn't add much in my opinion. Another change is the tent ships with three different types of pegs which are colour coded for the tent corners, sides and luminous ones for the remaining guys. All other changes are cosmetic, with slight colour differences on the canvas. All in all not much to miss if you do get a 2010 one, but chances are you'll get a 2011 by default if buying new.

Happy hunting, this is a nice tent.

We bought a Nevada M today for £251 at Go Outdoors under the price matching scheme. Having found one at £279.99 at SKCamping.com, Go Outdoors matched minus 10%.

However - A WORD OF WARNING!!!

GO in Swindon had a 2010 model on display. I thought this was just because they hadn't got round to changing the display. When we checked their stock thay had 4 for sale, of which only one was a 2011 model - all the others were 2010 models. We could easily have picked up a 2010 model and paid the same price for it! The only differentiator was the luminous yellow piping on the blue bag - the 2010 models don't have this. In fact the Outwell labels on the 2010 tents actually show the 2011 model. I think this is misleading.

For the record, I noticed the 2011 model has the following differences over the 2010 one (there could be others):

• Mud valance is now black, with black banding to match around the doors.
• Inner tent is now fixed to groundsheet with proper tethers, not just silly hooks which come adrift.
• Cable entry is moved up sidewall instead of in groundsheet.
• Curtains now have bottom up toggles, which means they can be set so you can see out of the top half while keeping privacy at bottom.
• Groundsheet reinforced where inner tent is tethered.

Hope this helps.
