Silverhill is from go outdoors. Go outdoors rebrands outwell so the name and change colour so the won't have to brand match.

Its on their webpage because they produce then but you would only get them at go outdoors. So the crestview is the vermont, palmcoast is the whitecove,blackley is birdland, buckville is the drummond and lawndale is the rockwell

Should probably have called it renamed and not rebrand. Basically if you where to find a vermont for £1000 somewhere on else and go outdoors was selling theirs for 1100 go outdoors would the have to brand match the price with 10% so giving you back alot off money by calling it crestview and slightly changing the colour they won't have to do as its in gooutdoors terms and conditions that it would have to be the same product, in stock and same colour to do the brand match.

Thanks for the information. Just ordered the silver Hill from go outdoors. Still think it's daft to rename a product... from what you've said go outdoors price match is actually a huge scam lol.
Of course it is, as is all of Go Outdoors pricing which changes almost daily.
I have the Kalahari Elite 8. The old ones were blue. Last years one was green. This year it is blue again. Each time the porches etc disappear instantly out of stock by magic to try to make you buy newer stock. Few people are that stupid.
When I bought mine the carpet was £40. 2 weeks later I wanted a second carpet, it was £73, then £80, then £64. When they came to £57 and I had a 10% off voucher I snapped one up. A few weeks later they were £27.99. Then they were back up to £65 again.
At the moment GO claim there is 20% off everything but exclude bundle deals. It's crazy, you can buy the footprint, tent and carpet cheaper separately than in the bundle deal, even though the bundle deal lists the separate prices - at different prices to the actual prices lol!
Same with the tent - this week it is £100 more than it was last week even though it has money off.
They also claim savings against RRP including all of their own brand items. It's sharp practice to place an RRP on something you make for your own outlet because the only actual price is the price you are selling at - it cant be compared to anyone elses item because it is yours!
I buy a fair bit at GO but I certainly check things out as much as I can first. There is no real loyalty from them.
Oh, last week they upgraded my card to a silver one and gave me 15% extra discount off everything. I put a load of stuff in my basket, including another tent, added the discount code and it was rejected.
In big letters it says 15% off ALL PURCHASES. On the bottom of the leaflet in microwriting it lists all the exceptions which are pretty much everything which has any saving on it whatsoever, making the 15% totally useless. In the bin that went lol!

Would you know which one is also the Glenwood? I saw this today in Go Outdoors and was hugely impressed by it's space and layout - far more so than the Silverhill which was smaller and £100 more.
However, I'd like the option to buy the 'non-Go Outdoors' model too so that I can compare them

To be honest the glenwood confused me, but did a bit more digging. The glenwood is the flagstaff 6a which is an airbeam tent but only difference is that the glenwood is 10 cm longer and with poles, hope this helps you

It seems to be a one-off then, although there is/was a flagstaff 5.
The 6a is a different fabric, different HH, has airbeams, different bedrooms etc. ANd obviously a lot more expensive.
The Glenwood seems excellent value and looks a really smart and nice tent. Trying to decide between that or the Vango Langley 400XL for solo/weekend camping
