I owe everyone who has looked at this site an apology. I was under the impression that this was a good place to advertise, my mistake. After this you will not hear from me again. I am a very good friend of the Hein’s and was trying to help them out. If this person who wrote such a terrible thing would have bothered to search before spouting the would have given you the "Rest of the Story." 1). The Hein’s have been in business in Rapid City since 1997 in Rapid CIty, SD. You can check with the local Business Lic. bureau , and the BBB. They are new to the internet, but so are 1,000 of other on-line business daily. 2). Pay Pal is so you can build credibility, and a lot of people do not giving their credit card over the net. 3). The $400.00 tent is for those that do a lot of camping in the colder regions and year round. They do have less expensive tents for sale. They also sell several brand name. Personally I would not sell Coleman or Hillary products. 4). What is a "Mom-n-Pop", this is a family based business, not a fly by night. Just because they are new does not make them a fly by night outfit. Again I apologize to everyone, I realize I did more damage than good, but don’t let one persons opioion, well two in this case determine where you buy. P.S. I do live in RC,SD and do own the products and have tested the products in which I spoke of. Leahmeah The testimonies are not phony, just an honest mistake on my paart.

—>snip<—– Sounds like a lovely and kind hearted woman (like my wife 
, but you should probably explain to her that a tent isn’t "laundry" otherwise camping is going to be a very expensive hobby for you <grin>. Dutch "I think therefore I am…usually in a lot of trouble."
Response:
Don’t put money into an old tent. We have spent more more trying to repair our tent we could have bought a fifth wheel. If you want a durable tent that will last a life time? check out the Woods Canada products at this site. They are reasonably priced and stand behind their products. My wife and I are very satisfied with them, and when you have four boys who all have friends who want to go camping and boating, you need durability. http://www.blackhillsoutdoorgear.com

Not too dirty, But my wife loves to clean. I’m not complaining mind you, as the house always looks spotless. She just hates to "read manuals" and threw it in the washing machine thinking it was OK. My own fault for not watching how things are done. I usually hop off to work, and my wife says she will take care of it. Gotta love her ! Ross

I have a 4 man Windy River tent from Eureka. Great tent, however I looked at it and it has problems. The coating on the tent is starting to delaminate. I read the tent information and it says don’t wash in the washing machine and the dryer. I ask my wife how the tent has been cleaned the last two times…. You got it, the washing machine and the dryer. DOH. So is there any way of resurecting this thing, or do I need to go out and get another tent.? Anyone gone through this before. ? Any help would be appreciated. Ross

Once the coating starts coming off you might as well bag it and get another tent. How was it cleaned the last two times? You mean you’ve washed it two times? Was it extremely dirty or something? I have had tents for 10-15 years and never done more than hosed them off. Tents are not usually something you have to "wash" after ever trip.
