Sold my Hilleberg

[bikepacker]

Funny how sometimes the most casual of conversations leads to speeding up a decision. On Sunday riding with a friend we talked about cycling camping and I said I may look for a lighter tent such as the F10 Nitro Lite or the Exped Cetus 11ul. As Pauline no longer wants to cycle camp it would be nice to lose a couple of kilos in weight. Also told him I was not as happy with my latest Nammatj 2gt has I had been with my previous one. Don’t like the arched door arrangement. That was all that was said.

On Monday evening I received a telephone call from a friend of his asking if I was serious about selling the Nammatj. Yesterday he came round and we put up the tent in my garden, he was like a kid at Christmas. Told him what I would like for it and last night he brought me the cash and took the tent.

Now I start looking for a tent for next year.

So what are u using now .
you defo have the midas touch when it comes to selling stuff.

At the present time I no longer have a lightweight cycle camping tent and as I have no plans for a camping ride until Spring I will use the time to look as some of the other options.

Should I need a tent in the meantime my grandson has offered me the loan of his Coleman Caucasus 3.

Selling hillebergs is a bit drastic! Let us know what you choose. We need to upsize rather than down and the choice is a bit bewildering! Have fun deciding, anyway.

Yes I am Hilleberg less at the moment. If anyone has used a Force Ten Nitro Lite 200+ or an Exped cetus ii ul tent I would be interested to here about your experiences and how the tent performs.

I've got a Terrace Nova Laser Competition 2 that I like. Roomy solo or room for two if snugg is OK. Weighs little and packs small.

A Terrace Nova? I hope the walls between you and the neighbours aren't to thin.

We are selling our only-used-once Hilleberg Keron 3GT. Not having much luck so far though.

How much are you asking, Peli?   We need something a bit bigger than our Nallo 2GT now Nye is growing.

As I have tried dozens of tents over the years I wasn't really looking for recommendations. Unless some manufacturer brings out something new in the next couple of weeks, which is doubtful as I have seen most of the 2016 models at the trade show, it will be either a Force Ten, Exped or Helsport.

The cheapest I can find it online is £845.75, and I see they have gone for about £625-£650 on eBay, in very-used condition.

We have only used ours for one night in clean conditions so it's as close to mint as you can get.  So we'd be hoping for around £700 for it but haven't tried it on eBay yet.
