Hi, has anyone else had problems with their Outwell leaking? Bought it new in 2019 and used it 4 times for no longer than 4days…Treated it with Fabsil Gold as per instructions and was hoping this would be sufficient? Took it to Wales in July and rain was literally pouring through the back wall, not the roof(and yes, we did treat it with fabsil all over) It handled 46mph winds perfectly but just not waterproof!
Really disappointed as we absolutely love this tent, but it’s no good to us if it’s going to leak! Now looking at a Berghaus Air 400XL- does anyone have any experience regarding wet weather and their durability? Thank you so much!

I had 2 Outwell s in 2008. The Montana i sold but the Nebraska was terrible. We used it about 4 times before it was hand over fist wasting money on trying to re proof it,especially the seams. I did think Outwell had sorted this problem out by now. There customer service is not good either
