After just 9 nights using this tent, we came back to our campsite in Cornwall in August to find it had completely collapsed under the wind (forecast at 26mph so hardly severe). 3 poles snapped (1 in 2 places) and 2 poles were bent badly. We scrapped our holiday. Coleman have not responded to emails and my local store tells me they don't hold spare parts like poles now they are made in China. Also they no longer make this tent. To start with we thought this was agreat family tent and were very happy, but this is the first time in many decades of camping in all sorts of conditions I've had a tent fail so badly and customer service is non-existant so beware!
