Tent dilemma

[Saturn5]

Hi all, I need some advice! After a bad accident recently, I've booked Deer Lodge as I can't carry stuff or walk too far. Had my heart set on a lotus tent, however both DL and Podpad people said there weren't any this year so I've paid in full for a 4m belepad. Now I see they've gone on sale!! This would have meant a lot less carrying than the belepad as bedding, chairs etc are included. My delimma is, do I purchase a lotus tent and hope to sell the belepad (I see they are sold out) or do I try and get a refund? Also my other half seems to remember the lotus tents being near the smelly loos last year - anyone remember?

Have you asked whether they would transfer over the booking if you pay the difference? seen as the bells are selling out anyway it'd suggest that they'd be happy to get one more back into the system and have the more expensive one booked...

Hi Rob, I've emailed them. I'm a bit miffed as I'm guessing they've put the lotus tents on as the others have sold out!

I'm sure the Lotus Tents were up by the Yurts & Tipi's last year, much further than the Bell Tents from the car park. For the sake of a couple of air beds & fold up chairs, not sure it's worth the additional expense, or the extra trek from the car....
