There you go

I sent the dimensions of our diablo  tent to a campsite owner requesting wether they would accept us on their site and they replied as long as the overall dimensions did not exceed 30 square metres it would be fine.... I looked it all up on the internet and Vango stated it was 27 square metres this didn't sound right to me so we just e-mailed a picture of the dimensions along with the measurements and they came back with - YEP its fine as its 27 square metres so ...the answer to your question is ....27 square metres.... There I got there in the end!

 I  second what Peridot says about the footprint we just got ours following advice from on here and its great for enabling you to position your tent accurately in a tight space and for keeping the SIG clean!

 HTH

Thats what I thought and why I only sent the dimensions and picture as above and thats when they too came back with the same size that Vango stated  didn't want to mislead about the actual size of the tent in case we had issues fiiting it on the pitch when we turned up!!

I still don't know how they worked it out to be this!

Area = Something like this

1. Porch     2.9 x 2.0                           = 5.8 m2

2. Pods      2.1 x 2.3 [x2]                    =  9.66 m2

3. L.Room  4.0 x 3.35                         = 13.4  m2     

                                                         = 28.86 m2    

take away L.Room tapers = [4.0-2.0/2]= 1.0 x 3.35 = 3.35 m2    

  Total                =   25.51 m2   [ignored slight taper on porch!]

I'm tired! But love my diablo!

Make sure you dont arrive on site to find that the pitch is 5m x5m because it wont fit. I agree with Piglet in that you really need a 10 x 10 pitch to accomodate a Diablo and a car. When we used our D900 we did visit some sites where we had to pitch diagonally because the tent is longer than it is wide.
