The fact is we don't know. I certainly don't. So until checks are done, why assume the user is incompetent?



I said, "raise questions". I didn't say that they were incompetent.

Raising questions would imply that the poles would be checked.

People make mistakes all the time. Poles break accidentally all the time, fact. Both sides of the argument have to be looked at.

But, like I demonstrated in a post before, I don't believe we are being unfair about our policies on poles. Although I can not talk for Outwell.

With an independent report in your possession it will be hard, if not illegal (Sale of Goods Act) for the retailer (not the manufacturer) to either replace or repair the item at their cost.

If as you say the poles aren't covered by a guarantee then your only recourse is the SoG Act and the case must be taken up with the retailer.

However, I think you will have no option than to obtain an independent report otherwise I feel you will be wasting your time.

Good Luck.

I wonder how much this report would cost from a qualified person.

If it was £170 would it have been worth it?

Unless it all got silly and went to court would those costs be covered by the manufacturer if the product was found to be faulty?

How much better for everyone if spares were available at a reasonable cost, that in this case the user was very ready to pay

edit - I've said more than enough now, sure I've bored people to tears.

Thanks for everyone's politeness and good manners.

cheers, John

Just wanted to take the opportunity to say well done to Campingworld for sorting out this problem.

Also good to here that Outwell are starting to get their act together regarding product/customer support.
