and we're already for Thursday to go camping for the first time in 2 years (i've been ill).

As have an Outwell Nebraska XL which we got in 2007 (the leaky year) although we didn't actually have any leaks, we were lucky.  Unfortunately when we  went away camping March 2008 easter weekend we had rain and then snow, we thought we'd got the tent dry but obviously not dry enough as the next time we had a few leaks!!  So yesterday we got the tent up totally aired but to be on the safe side i went and bought a 5L tin of Fabsil and we have painted the whole of the tent.  They said we didn't need to use seam sealant (but i've bought some just in case).  So fingers crossed guys we will be dry next weekend.

Crikey i'm knackered after checking everything and washing everything.

It's been a fab weekend though for doing the tent no rain and it was up for about 36 hours so I think it is definitley dry this time :-)

Do you think my seams will be ok, the tape is coming off in just a couple of places!
