None taken, horses for courses but Our biscaya is a lot brighter than our old vermont and whole lot nicer to live with apart from lugging it there, three large bags are a pain to store.

Hi , I have just managed to get our new BL6 up today and suprised how quick it went up!
Just one question though, I know that there appears to be no difference between the 2008 and 2009 models but bought as a 2009 model and inside is a card for a competition with a closing date of September 2008 ? Does this mean I have a 2008 model and do I say something/complain to Yeomans ?
From what you say I would think you have been sold a 2008 and would definately suggest you let Yeomans know.
Do you have anything to say that it was a 2009 they sold you?
I would go back to them and suggest you either pay 2008 prices (I can let you know how much I paid for my BL6 from Yeomans last year) or they give you a 2009 model.
I looked at the bear lakes's. Fully agree with what people are sayiong, they just don;t move in the breeze!
Decided the 6 was too big for us and the 4 was a better size, but we prefered the full "ground to ground" front canopy on the wolf lake if that makes sense.
Then we saw a wolf lake 7 which was great with the full canopy but too big.
So we got brave and ordered a wolf lake 5 without having seen one pitched which is slightly bigger inside anyway.
Hi Matt,
as you have said you paid £715 for the BL6,that to me suggests it is a 2008 model,Yeomans website is selling it for £799.
If you shop around you can get a 2008 model for around £699.
As regards to the black spots/marks I would take it back to Yeomans for a replacement.I know it can be a pain taking it back but if you don't you might regret it in the long run.
If it was me and I had seen those marks I would be back like a shot,£700+ is a LOT of money.
Hi , thanks for the response. I have contacted Yeomans and they have said that these cards have been put in the 2009 models? They say there is a way of telling between a 2008 and 2009 model but are going to get back to me.( the guy wasn't sure but something to do with the bedroom inners?).
They are going to send a replacement canopy for me to swop if I wish?
Will report back when I find out the differences.
Thanks all.
Matt

Buttie - just received a Bear Lake 6 and the card in it had a password to answer a questionnaire. When I entered the password it clearly stated that it was for the 2009 questionnaire and competition.
Having said that I don't believe there is any difference between the 2008 and 2009 models and suspect they are both probably made in the Far East with quality controlissues over the details.
