Sorry to hear you had such problems with your Coleman.

I have two Colemans. They have been brilliant and no problems, think you have been unlucky.

Having said that, I am surprised at the way Coleman have gone with their range this year. As someone else has said they should stick to high quality stuff.

julieju ... A friend of mine has recently bought the same tent from Millets. He's only used it once, but had no problems. He's a stickler for quality so would certainly have noticed any defects. You've obviously had a bad one - demand a refund!

PS Offered to help a woman put up her tent this weekend. She declined as her friends were due to arrive shortly to help her. Turned out it was a Diablo I nearly helped put up! Eek.

And what's wrong with that

....

We used the Cabanon in anger for the first time this weekend and were well impressed.

Quicker to pitch than the VV500 and much roomier. It'll certainly be our weekend tent from now on.

Only problem was ... no pockets. We have designated pockets in the Diablo for all the important things like car keys etc. Need to get a hanging organiser thingy for it.

Sorry to go OT
