Just returned to collect our tents which we abandoned Sunday pm.

We had a fab Friday & Saturday (all caught the sun!) but the rain on Sunday - all day & getting windier & heavier drove us all home (luckily the campsite owner let us all (30+ of us) off without paying for the 3rd night.)

Our WYNNSTER SATELLITE 12 proved great - still up & not one drip inside anywhere.

An ARGOS monster tent had already leaked on the Sunday night, so they took it down rather than take a risk.

An expensive VANGO also had a huge puddle inside & some poles had fallen internally.

One tunnel tent had almost taken off.

How did your tents survive??

We have been away for weekend and the weather turned bad late saturday evening and by sunday lunch time some of the tents on the site had half blown down and were getting flooded.
We have an outwell indiana 8 and we didn't have any problems with it, no leaks at all. The 2 families next to us had outwells too, 1 was montana 6 and the other was a hartford large and they were ok too.

our Harford XL used to be fabbo in the rain.
If its any help to anyone my campervan doesn't leak , the awning unfortuantely does though, well the new one anyway, the old 1970's frame one is supergood, if you peg it down

Our outwell montana leaked a bit but that was because DP left the vents open on one side Otherwise it was fine and pegs stayed in despite wind.

Our Vango 700 DLX didn't leak at all, but it took a real battering in the wind, 2 slightly bent poles but generally OK as DH had put in loads of pegs including extra long storm ones. We were at Damage Barton in Woolacombe, which is completely exposed on the top of a cliff and the gusts were over 50 mph, another couple had the same tent and it blew away as they took it down and lots of their poles bent.
