Morning everyone!

Here's what's happened, we're the proud owners of a corrado 8, but wanted something smaller for the weekend camps. Therefore, we bought from Alchemist (ebay) a Outwell Nevada M, it was a rush decision during the last few moments of the auction. Only when the auction had ended, did we read the full description! Ha, serves us right! Not such a bargain now! No Poles!!

So, here's where you guys come in.

Has A) anyone got poles for sale? (long shot I know, but worth the try)
       B) I knows there's is 2 x red poles and 1 x black, would anyone be willing to tell me the sizes of these? So we can buy the kits and make our own.

I know the black is made up of 3x12.7mm at either end and 4x 11mm + 1 black central (thanks to ukcampsite forum) but can anyone tell me the length of each?

No idea of the sizes of the red poles, not been able to find anything on these.

Will also need the indoor stabilising pole lengths, I think these are 3 x 12.7mm?

And the door frame one, not got a clue on that!

Any help/input would be very much appreciated! Thanks!

Was this the one from alchemist with a leaking roof and no inner bedrooms either..?

On a previous thread someone managed to get a complete Nevada M pole set from Casey's, might be worth giving them a call..?

:-) It is indeed the one you mention. However, it does have bedrooms!! It looks and smells brand new. I'm guessing/hoping it was just condensation, but have the fabsil at the ready... Just need poles!

Thank you very much, I shall get in touch with them. Fingers crossed

You’re probably right that it may have been just condensation. If you do find any holes/leaks in the flysheet then Tenacious Tape or my new preference Tear Aid are both good products. Great that the bedroom pod is included!

As far as the poles go, try calling Camping World and Tent Spares. As they are Outwell dealers they may be able to give you the information. If you get really stuck I can see if I can measure the pole set on my Nevada M

Tent Spares
Camping World
Tenacious Tape
Tear Aid

The links for the products may not be the cheapest, more to give you information about the product/reviews.

Had a reply from Caseys. Looking at £140 to order poles in from Denmark. Which makes a bargain of tent not such a bargain. I'm not sure its worth spending that on it

Just getting in touch with the other 2 you mention above now.

Would you mind getting your tape measure ready?

If you can hang on until the weekend I should be able to measure them then. With any luck someone else may have the information to hand. It might be worth keeping an eye on eBay for any listing for the poles.

The tent is 2011 and as such has had no changes this year. If you can find a pole set for £100 and assuming it has no further issues, it will still work out at a reasonable price.

Thats the problem you dont realise how much a full set of poles are until you have to buy a set and to be honest im not surprised at £140 for a set of genuine poles.

Dont know the length of the poles offhand but if you are thinking of making a set the side poles are 12.7mm and the roof poles are 11mm and there is an angled reducing ferrule where the different size poles meet The bedroom pole is shorter than the other two. You dont really need the internal stabilising pole but that is 12.7mm (on ours) and has a fibre pole end on each end all available from tentspares.co.uk

I would try contacting Alchemist to see if they have a spare set or try Go Outdoors as thats where Alchemmist tent come from.

Good luck with it

Hi peeps!

Thanks for taking the time to reply. I have some news...

So, after emailing round asking anyone and everyone if they had a spare set. (we asked Alchmestic when we picked up, they said to watch this space). We went to GoOutdoors today. Thinking, we'll buy a few packs of various poles and make our own set. Well, we just happened to ask the guy who was giving some advice on tent stuff 'have you got a full set of tent poles for t'nevada?' wait for it... 'yes, we've got 2 part sets, should be able to make a complete set out of them!!!'

Ding dang dooooo! £40! I'll take it. They've been used, but its a full set! Over the moon to say the least, I can't wait to get it set up now, Go Outdoors have made my weekend!

Thanks again guys for taking the time to reply and offering your assistance

Brilliant, so you still have a Nevada M 2011 bargain for around £120!! Well done for asking and you got them at a terrific price.

Hi,

I had exactly the same problem from alchemist (ebay), although our tent wasn't listed as no poles, after asking so many retailers and Outwell themselves (who quoted £240 plus postage for a set!!) following the advice on another thread Casey's Outdoor Leisure Ltd had a spare set in store which we purchased, although they are for the wrong year, I think they belong to the 2012 model instead of 2011 as on the rain safe door pole they have plastic ends instead of metal and are too short, so I'm still on the look out for that pole but all of the other poles are perfect...we'll get there in the end, maybe I should visit GoOutdoors next!!

Glad you got your tent sorted out in the end.

It sounds as if peeps have to be aware of alchemist.  Twice sold Neveda M tent without poles.

The OP did say that the advert said there were no poles but they bought in a rush and read that after. So not Alchemists fault.

Not Alchemists fault at all. All blame lands on ourselves for not thoroughly reading the auction details. It was all there in black and white, just we skipped past that bit!

Lemon - I think it's a case of dropping on with Go Outdoors, our poles had been used, but not much. I reckon its from a tent that's been returned for a refund, and the original owners never managed to pack the tent and poles away in the bags. Thus meaning they were separated, and we just dropped on the day they had them in the back before they got sent back to wherever. Keep trying, I reckon you will drop on at some point. Fingers crossed.

Oh just a thought Lemon. If its only the door end bits that's a problem for you. I'm sure they sold the metal cap end bits at Go Outdoors, you just need a tent pole cut to size and those ends glued into place. Easy!

If you need the poles measuring, we'll be getting the tent out next weekend so could easily help out with measurements/photos if need be.

I had a Leaky Nevada M, and Go Outdoors wanted to send it back to the repairs to see if it could be repaired (Which I told them it couldn't)

Anyway, the Long and the Short of it is that they did not want the poles at that stage. It was only when they called me to say that it wasn't repairable, that When I returned the Poles and Pegs, they will give me a Replacement tent.

This is, I assume how Alchemistic gets tents with No Poles, and the Stores still have the poles as spares.
