Hi all

Just bought a Vango Aspen 700 - my first tent.  Suppliers (Camperland) provided a "what to do first" list - which said we need to weather the tent.  Any idea what this means?

Just dont buy a Makro tent....

Hi Paul.

When we bought our first tent we were told to weather it so we pitched it in the garden for a few days.  We were lucky in that we had enought rain for us to know it wasn't going to leak.

We're trying a new tent out in a couple of weeks time, and won't get the chance to check for leaks until on site (thought hopefully we won't have any rain).  Just going to arm myself with seam seal, fabsil - and a diddy emergency tent in case I've got the one that leaks like a seive.

Seriously a good tent is unlikely to leak.
