Just got the 1st chance for a practice run with my new repacement tent. The first tent leaked a lot so returned it and went for a Gelert instead. Once up I noticed a 4" tear in the inner skin roof! do you think gelert will replace it directly or will I have to go back to the people I purchased it off?

Hi

Problem is this is the second tent in a month from the same place, 1st one was like a tea bag in the first bit of rain. took 3 weeks to get the second from them. Were off on monday for a weeks camping.

Have sent an email to Gelert about it, there only 45 mins up the road from me but dont have time to go see them

By the way, I hope you dont have loads of camping furniture/airbeds etc as I was surprised how little room there was inside for an 8 birth tent :(
