Check out the REI tents. They should have something for you that is resonably priced. Buy when they have one of the 20% off any one item coupons.
Don't get a scratch and dent tent regardless of how cheap it is. You want to be able to return it if it leaks or bends a pole. REI doesn't sell replacement parts for their tents.
Huh? I have an REI CampDome 2, and they GAVE me a replacement pole, 2 tent stakes and 2 guylines last week.
On another note, we also have an REI Hobbitat with vestibule - best car camping tent we've ever had.
They probably pulled the parts from a new tent. As far as I know, I've never seen any "parts" ever available or ordered for their tents. I suppose it could be a new deal. Or that store has a stock pile of tents for parts. I see tents in the scratch and dent all the time with bent poles as the reason for return.
