Hi

I have just brought a Kampa Salcombe 8 tent from ebay. It is a good size tent but there are 2 issues that I would like advice on

1 - The pins that go ion the pole have gone rusty and have left marks on the tent. Does this affect the tent in any way? Will the tent still be waterproof?

2 - On this model there is a window vent thing which you can wedge open with window support things. The tape that they have put on the inside is peeling off does this mean that the tent leeks?

Thanks for any help

We had a Vango Colorado which had rust marks, never seemed to affect the material just looked horrid, never did find anything that would remove the mark

If the tape that is coming of is over a seam then yes the chances are it will leak but can be fixed with some seam sealer.

If the seller on Ebay didnt say about the defects then I would complain

I have complained as they are a shop and the description was minimal They said they are going to look into the matter but I just wanted the opinion of other campers.

Thank you for taking the time to reply
