Hi all, just bought an ex demo outwell hawaii reef, for a bargain price! we where told this is ex demo and needs cleaning. Part erected in my small garden which it swamps not pegged or guyed! The colour has faded drastically its now oatmeal rather than orange other than the door! which must of been rolled up for acess when being demo. We were told been outside for 5 weeks. Now dare I say we pressure hosed the tent and grandsheets they were well pitted. I have not used any cleaning fluid on it or reproofed it. Think this is the next step but dont think we have the weather on our side being late september. Any advice please its appreciated? Also we have watched the pitching video and I'll be honest we did struggle lifting this up at the front once all poles were in. Does anyone have any tips for easyness? especially packing this away cant seem to find a video of this been dismantled.

Hi Tom many thanks for your post, with reproofing I do have Fabsil 5L just really apprehensive doing it. You did say I can do this inside our outside and be careful of the windows? Do I spray the seams? and If I dont do this right will it look all patchy?
Im new to UK Campsite Im loving all advice that I can get through this forum. Its been a bit daunting buying an ex demo and it needing some TLC. As far as I can tell there are no faults so Im well impressed with it especially having a polycotton tent. I wont be suffering tent awe anymore lol
regards andrea
