HI

Weve got a Kalahari 8 but have only got 1 pod instead of 2 as Go Outdoors lost the other (long story). Now its not really a prob at the moment as its only hubby, me and daughter that are camping so we can all sleep at one end of tent and have huge living space, but obviously it will cause issues when we have other people camping with us

Does anyone know where we might be able to get another "pod" from? I've heard that the Kalahari8 is practically identical to another tent made by Gelert but cant remember which one .... does anyone else know? If we cant get a replacement "pod" does anyone know if its possible to make one and if so how difficult is it?

Thanks

Sharon

yeh thats my sort of luck as well but at least you will get a pod and without a dowt go has given you a good discount for losing it in the first place

lol got to admit this tent has been extremely cheap .. orig paid £199 it got sent back for repair after first pitch as had 2 mangled eyelets and a bedroom pod couldnt close cause of zip this earned us £100 discount so tent cost £99 and now that its been discovered that the repair company has lost the pod they were fixing Go Outdoors gave us a further discount of £56 which means in total out 8 man kalahari cost us £43!!!! hence why im not ranting and raving at go outdoors as they have been fantastic .... but now got to go in search of a pod that will fit lol

Are you really sure the Kalahari 8 is the same as the Gelert Horizon 8 it looks totally different to me and the length and width are different

Experience enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again.
Everything has been said before, but since nobody ever listens we have to keep going back and saying it all over again and again and again
