Hi again,
finally got vango today after a week of toing and froing with the dealer. When i got it i opened up the bag and the groundsheet looks as if it has small water marks on it and the poles are marked on the sleeves as if they have been put together. Can somebody please tell me if this is normal or am i being taken for a mug.
Would appreciate your views
cheers kev

Could be an ex display model?
If in doubt take it back and get another or at least some of your money back!------------- Life without cheese is chaos.

I would like to think that every tent purchased has been errected once to test it ,but I realise that in reality thats not possible ,but it could be that yours happened to be one of the quality control tents ?
Even so our tent has scratched marked poles just from rubbing together in the bag

If it doesn't look right take it back for an exchange, you dont want a ex display if your paying full price.

Had a better look and even though there is the water marks and the marks the inner tent is immaculate so im hoping its just been a quality check as you say Skatty. Im like a kid with a new toy, going to put it up this afternoon so we dont look like pillocks next week when we go for real.
Thanks again for your views, cheers kev

Check the pegs for the slightest trace of soil or earth.
