hi

new member here, today i purchased a outwell idaho l, i bought it new and it has not come with any pegs, i just wondered if it should have or are they seperate?

i dont want to complain and be wrong.

thanks for any replies

Never bought an Outwell but most tents come with pegs

The problem is that the pegs are skinny useless things. If you pegged a paper bag to the grass with one then the bag would escape lol

Personally I would visit a camping store and buy some decent pegs. The metal v shaped ones are much better

Like these but in steel

They are not expensive are much more effective

There are many different pegs and if you go to a camping store they will help and advise you what to buy

And welcome to UKCS :)

Hope this helps

Yes, the SV8 came with metal ones and some blue ones too but the SV6 was all metal.

looks like the 'new' tents come with blue plastic ones.

Wonder if the OP found their pegs??

Hi

thanks for the replies, although i have not had the chance yet to unroll the tent, i am sure after reading the posts they will be rolled in with the tent, I just thought it a bit strange they was not in with the poles or loose in the holdall with the mat and porch sheet etc. 

I did a 200 mile trip to collect it and then have spent the rest of the weekend looking for a suitable car to transport everything.

If it stops dry today i will certainly be unrolling it before my maiden voyage this bank holiday. I just hope it's as easy as the outwell video to erect

We recently bought the Idaho xl and pegs were supplied. Staff in Go Outdoors said all the Outwell tents come with pegs.. I would go back to your supplier if I was you.

Hope this helps
