Hi,

I am returning my extremley leaky sun valley 8 this weekend to Go, after getting flooded out in Cornwall for the past fortnight.  Thing is all the tent pegs from side canopies, cook tent etc end up together.  Anyone give me an idea of how many pegs there are with it?, I know all the blue ones are with it.

Quite upset as I was so excited about this tent. I understand that some people have had thesame problem.  Took us ages to decide on that one, not happy about the quality so want to choose a different tent.  You can see some of the stiching is off the seams and on the tent itself, pretty shoddy.

anyway, off on a tangent, any help appreciated.

thanks

Sorry to hear that the tent has let you down.We have a Monty6 and have been fortunate that it has no leaks. Whilewe really like our Monty I am surprised howloyal people are to Outwell considering the quality issues they have had for a couple of years now. We will probably be replacing our Monty next year andare undecided between another monty or a Vango Nile or Amazon. At the moment it looks like we may go for a Nile 800.

With regard to the pegs,I would just put a dozen back in the bag.
