Hey All,

Thought i would quickly just put a post up regarding 2012 tent ranges, a lot of people buy tents at this time of year for the next camping season on sale price not realising they may be discontinued and that they may not be able to get the accessories such as the footprint, carpet and extension in 2012. Happens all the time, we get so many emails in Jan asking if we have carpets and footprints for discontinued lines. Examples would be the Ohio from last year etc and many more i can think of.

I don't think it's a bad idea to buy discontinued lines as you will get a great deal, but, that said if you do then i would always get all three items if you can, these being the tent, carpet and footprint at the same time.

Anyway, if anyone has any concerns that they bought a tent and the carpet and footprint wont be readily available, then drop a line on here and i will do my best to let you know, that way you can get one while they are still around!

Cheers

David

will you be getting any vermont XL footprints and carpets as we have been looking at the packages but they are out of stock.

[OutdoorWorldDirect]

Well the Vermont XL is changing for next year, it is getting a slightly bigger living space, therefore the carpet and footprint are changing too.

This means the current models are selling out fast in the country as they will be discontinued, we don't have carpets or footprints and we won't be getting any more till the new model comes in.

We have now sold out on the tent anyway, sorry!!

Just getting to that point in the year where stocks get difficult.

Regards

David

Hi David

I am also interested in the outwell hartford XL 2011 range, requiring a carpet and a footprint for the tent. From the looks of it this is going to be a challenge to find these items. Can you advise if there is any availability or if we are casting a line onto a cement pond??

Thanks in advance

For my corvus 5+2, I bought a tarp for the groundsheet and a cheap hexagon carpet off amazon that I modified into a rectangle that ended up a almost the perfect size.

Sorry for late replies guys,

I fear i missed this chat. Thanks Rob for pointing it out to me.

Right in terms of hartford xl, 2011

I have no 2011 stock left, im really sorry.

To answer the question regarding Hartford L and whether it will be any good for the XL.

It will still fit, but it will be smaller and will be a bit short on each side of the tent. It just wont cover the whole living space.

But it would be a better option than nothing! Sorry I can not help you further. One of my guys in the office is recommending people make their own carpets using cheap picnic rugs which can be bought in pound shops.

Cheers

Kind regards

David

Hello. Been browsing this website for a while, but haven't posted until now.

Yes. I made a caret for my Outdoor Revolution Starcamper 3 using six £1 picnic rugs from Poundland and some strong tape, from B&Q. Total cost = nine pounds.

Hi all, I know this is a little of topic but I need some help and advice. Me and my partner have recently brought a Hartford Xl 2011 model but unfortunatly it didnt come with all the poles as it was second hand. We have some spare poles but they do not fit and we were wondering if anyone new the lenght of all the poles or if anyone could help us to find them!

Any help would be much appreciated!

Thank you Stacie
