|Not sure about the HI Gear, but I have a ProAction River Dome which I use of garden camping, and it has stood up to some horrendous rain and never leaked, including the time, we'd set it up when it was dry. The rain started and we had horrendous rain fro a week, yet teh sleeping bags insided were still dry when we were able to retreve them.

My daughter has a Mojave 5 which is very similar to a Lakesbury 5 under different brand label. Last time she used it 2-3 years ago there was very heavy rain. I was pitched next to her and checked it thoroughly - no leakage anywhere. However that does not mean another Mojave 5 will not leak which is why always advisable to pitch and check; not just for leaks but to ensure nothing is missing, that clips are where they should be, etc. Could you do a quick pitch in a garden?
As for fluctuating price, doubt it will go any lower than £130 and I paid more than that 2-3 years ago. Just check that there is stock and that it wasn't included in the 'One Day Wonder' offer with limited stock on a particular day only

If you bought the tent now is there anywhere you could pitch it, to check it's all complete, and even (if we don't get any rain) put the hose on it to check all the seams are ok? Like you, I'd be wary of buying a tent and then not using it for almost a year.
My sister in law was considering this tent as a weekender at one point and I have a vague memory of it dropping down to £99, that would have been last year, so it's hard to say whether the price will drop further, a year on £130 may be it's lowest price.

I brought mine last August to replace a Halfords family tent package which was way to small for us. Got it online with a discount voucher Paid £110 inc delivery, ordered it while i was in Fort William in the Halfords tent and had it delivered to my work, superb tent especially with the footprint and carpet.
