Thought I`d share my new purchase(s) with you all. After being sat on the sofa with a back injury and many hours of internet searching, I decided to buy a Tentipi Zirkon 7.
Youtube shows a few videos but nothing major in the UK. As I live up in the North of England, the nearest place being Edinburgh, and with all the voting going on, I didnt want to go that far, added I may have had to seek refuge in the English Embassy in the Capital, if it was a YES vote!!
I did a fair bit of internet searching and price comparsion, from all over Europe. Germany came out on top. But with the postage and credit card fees I would save about £200.
So, wanting to keep my cash in the UK, I contacted Taunton Leisure, and emailed a guy called Matt. I explained the searching, and he instantly took off £150. After some ranglings, we agreed on the price, though did throw in a wooden Pole floor accessory and a few little bits.
The TIPI is the best thing I`ve ever bought! Its amazing, well build and quality through and through.
You will see from the Pics, I bought a Frontier Stove to compliment it, and alothough the paint peeled off the first one, Anevay replaced it without question, saying there was a manufactoring issue, as they have painted the newer ones with a higher temp paint (600oC )
The stove is brilliant , and pumps out some right heat. ( pic shows 250oC)
Slept in it once with the stove going, and on camp beds, best ever nights sleep I`ve had. Toasty and warm all night. ( had to get up at 4.30am for a natural call, then slap some more logs in and away we went again)
I`m thinking of renting it out, as they are expensive, and might just give people the idea if they like it or not for the eventual purchase.
Let me know if you think its a good idea added any insurance companies that do Rental insurance!
Thanks for reading , Al
