I have had loads of poles break in this tent which is mostly down to bad design bending them too much. If I buy a replacement pole I might get another bit out of it. Must have used it 20 or 30 times since I got it How long do they usually last?

I have a couple of vangos I used to use and they've lasted a good while. The windows are obviously a weak point as they can crack if creased when packed away. A good time to pick up a new tent though

The only problem it had developed after 18 years is the waterproofing tape which covered seems inside started to degrade.
