I'm Planning a trip around Australia and am in the market for a good quality tent that will withstand pretty well any weather conditions. i will be camping for majority of the trip. Can anyone suggest a good tent to buy?

I believe this tenet will handle most strong winds and rain. We have been in some very heavy down pours and strong winds that have given it a good workout. Normally on a longer stay we would have another large tarp over the top to allow some covered area to set up your tables etc.

Hope this helps.

Are the Poles Zips replaceable? Does anyone know the cost to do so and where? Our zips have broken due to calcium or similar(white) build up and one pole has split. Do you know how to stop the zips from doing this in future?

You can get replacement poles from your local camping shop or the retailer that sold you the tent or contact Coleman direct. The issue with the zips sounds like oxidation of the plastic which is strange. As a temporary fix you could use a vinyl/plastic treatment like Armor All.

Perhaps this was a quality control issue as a good zip should not do this. Again it would be a call to Coleman.

Thank YOU :)

Do you need to put a tarp under the tent prior to set-up?

Cheers

Its not essential but we will be doing it in future as it makes cleaning the bottom of the tent so much easier.

We never did and didn't have any problems with it, although we also try and make sure we are not camping in any areas where water might pool in heavey rain.
