Anyone know where I can get these from?? Been looking on a few websites under accessories but no joys so far. We have an Outwell Hartford XL and the zips are broke and we have slight mould on them. Tent was bought approx 2009/10. Oh we want new ones not secondhand.
As far as I'm aware, the only manufacturer to make replacement bedroom pods is Outwell, who do the kids room ones for SOME of their tents.
It seems manufacturers don't sell the bedroom inners seperately (hence your unsuccessful search) Having spoken to several camp shops, all their advice has been the same - find a cheap second hand or seconds/faulty shop return tent and buy it in order to get the inners you need and then sell on the remaining flysheet and poles as spares.
Well I have e-mailed Outwell now to ask. If they don't sell seperate compartments I think it outrageous, our tent is still in good nick apart from the pods.
I have been looking at the Outwell Hartford 2012 though but I really can't afford to pay out for a whole new tent just the the sake of two bedrooms
Keep an eye on eBay because sometimes winners do come up for sale. I bought a set of Minnesota inners and Bear Lake 6 winners that way. Suppliers will get winners for you but at a price. Was looking for Bare Lake 4 inners and the shop could get them for me but they were going to be £250 !!!!
Sometimes retailers who have had displays will sell you the inners to a tent if the tents not fit to sell.
Seems a shame that you can't get a part replaced by the manufacturers.
As an alternative could you soak the pods in antimould solution to see if you can get the stains out (maybe bleach?) and track down a machinist or a sailmaker etc who could replace the zips?
A bit fiddly but certainly a lot cheaper than a new tent - unless you want a new one that is!
I have an Outwell Nevada and I had thought it might be easy to bust the zips. I'm going to be extra careful now I know they are tricky to replace so thanks for posting.
