Please consider a limited run of Wagontop 4P Garage Vestibules. There are plenty of us out there that want one. I have emailed Nemo before and was responded with "if there is enough demand..." well the demand is there. Please remember your prior customers there are a lot of us who really like this design, who purchased this design, who feel left out to dry when it comes to the purchase. I bought my Wagontop 4P at the tail end of its life, it was new off the shelf and already obsolete. I won't make that mistake again.
They are okay in light rain. The design is "rainfly-less" so it relies on its own design to keep wind and rain out. Inside, the windows do not seal. The mesh windows are large panels inside, on the sides and back, and a solid fabric wall backing is folded against the mesh to "close" the windows. The wall fabric is sewn along the bottom with a quality stitch, but the top and sides are only attached by fabric loops and "T" ties. Whatever you call them, you put the "T" into the fabric loop and it holds. But in a strong storm, even if the tent structure holds you will have water and wind coming in the windows. I do not see how it can be avoided, with the design. This is a fair weather tent, and while I love it, and camp with it regularly, I do acknowledge it has shortcomings. This may have been part of what led to them discontinuing the design. But as a fair weather tent you can't beat it. But I do not know anything about UK availability.
If you find them in stock anywhere please reply. I have the original vestibule but I want the larger "garage" add-on (that should have been part of the kit imo).
I'm still bummed you discontinued this line of tents. They were very cool.

Are these any good in the rain and would they be suitable for use in the UK climate (lots of rain)? Also can you buy them in the Uk? Thanks

Can I purchase the front vestibule alone? I have this exact tent but I have lost the vestibule. It seems impossible to find it. Please help.

Secure with peg... Huh. This is the first tent I ever bought that didn't come with pegs.
Looks confusing for one person. But looks like a great tent
Once you get the hang of it, it's a breeze!
