New name, old tent

So I bought this tent even under a different name about 16 years ago. Back then, a DM-price, which is payable in euros today. It has been used in only a holiday in Scotland and has then survived a lot of rain and a lot of erection and dismantling. Then it has sat dormant until last summer unused right. The revival then revealed crumbled receiving cup for the linkage The hard rubber this receiver cup had total fatigue, no clever choice of materials. A request from the manufacturer to replace the receiving cup for the linkage led to nothing, remained unanswered. Maybe because I had asked under the old marquee names to spare. Had I known before the last holiday that the tent is still produced in the same way, I would perhaps get compensation under the new name. But the plane still looked good and money was tight. So woman is not awkward and has sewn from a couple of pack straps new "receiving cup" for linkage, which have served their purpose perfectly. Lo and behold, the tent has several days heavy rain and strong wind again survived pass without water last summer. The plane was not re-impregnated. Plane and linkages are still top.

What I like about the tent:
+ Building goes to Not alone, despite tunnel tent
+ Inner tent is suspended after the outer tent is, therefore stays dry when setting up in the rain
+ The tent can be very good and unwrinkled abspannen
+ Ventilation works well

I do not like
- In the awning I lack a sewn-in floor
- The low height (I'm too old to move me 14 days crawling And if it continually pours out, then it happens to be most of the time in the tent and not in front of it..)
- Compared quite expensive
