Folks being relatively new and naive to camping I bought an outwell Biscayne 6 tent. The tent in itself is fan and I have been using it off late. The problem now is I would like to add to it with the addition of the storage/cuisine/sleeping pods however I am unable to source these. Does anyone know where I could source these?

You might have more luck posting in the tents forum. I looked at these tents myself and they look amazing, but unfortunately I can't tell you about the pods.

There has been a bit of discussion about this on Facebook - it's very hard to find the pods. I know that some people have been able to find what they need by asking on various forums. Good luck with your search.

We have an Outwell Bahia 5 and like you bought the tent with the intention of adding on. Phoned nearly every outdoor shop to be told the pods are all unavailable and discontinued. Eventually opted to buy the biscayne 5 extension to the tent instead of the pods. Outwells advice was that they advise all accessories to the tents to be bought at the same time. Hugely disappointed, feel like I've been conned would never have chosen this tent had it not been for the promise of adding the pods

If a tent is vastly reduced then this might be a give away. Im not saying you should of known the tent was discontinued but I imagine it was vastly reduced from the normal selling price.
I remember a Coleman stove that sold for £90 was reduced to £40 and cleared through a well known national retailer. The problem then was it ran on a non standard sort of gas cylinder and people struggled to get the gas. So the bargain stove ended up being a right pain in the a*** Similar to the Bahia situation.

Unfortunately we didn't know, when we got it in Sep/Oct only one shop had it reduced, all the rest were all at the rrp. I had a look at it and assumed it was because the inner living area was only 140cm wide and others were going for a more spacious living area and that was why it was reduced. Tried to contact suppliers and Outwell at that time and no-one would confirm they were discontinuing this range till the new range came out, at this time there were a few cuisine pods etc still available which only makes it worse. the Major selling area in Outwell's you-tube for this tent is the additional pods therefore I would have expected to be told at the time of buying these were not going to be available, correct me if I'm wrong but it must come under false advertising unless we were told at the time of purchase 'the reason it's reduced is.....'

That is a shame... The problem I imagine its not legally "miss selling" ... Its more like miss fortunate.
I know I've learnt many lessons in life that have cost me money or time and this might have to be put down to one of those situations.
Best if luck finding the pods you are after.

Just an idea! You may be able to have pods made!

Sorry you have found this to be the case. I was looking again at Outwells site as will be looking to replace the Vermont XL next year. Had been looking at the Bahia 7 over winter but couldn't see it on their site just last week so had wondered if it had been discontinued. Similar system with extension pods.

Doesn't help your situation I am afraid but definitely something to be aware of now.
