Have just bought a Vango Vista 800 and have been looking at some reviews, one of the two reviews on this site mentions a 'Sig', as a return to camping, from years ago exeperience I dont know what a 'Sig' is. Can anyone explain, do I need one, do I not need one, is it painful ......... !!!

Sewn In Groundsheet - as opposed to Zipped in Groundsheet, or toggled groundsheet etc etc. Means that there are no gaps at all between your groundsheet and your tent.

Hotels Suck. Villas are great but I can't take my Cadac on the plane....

Sewn in ground sheet. Fantastic invention....no unwelcome visitors, no drafts or leaking in heavy rain...Once you have had one you will never look back!

Superb invention!

However I would still take another groundsheet[We purchased 2 Cheap B&Q Tarpaulins] to put under the SIG.

That way you have double protection from dampness and the SIG Remains dry and clean!

Yes as said Sewn in Groundsheet.

I would just say that it isn't the be all and end all and it is perfectly possible to have a tent which doesn't leak,isn't drafty and isn't invaded by plagues of locusts without having a SIG!

I love my SIG. It also stops the dog from wiggling her way out.

Just back from Lime Tree Park Buxton, wet when we arrived and at some point each day/night we were there, so pleased to have a SIG. Good site at Lime Tree Park, see my camp site review of it.
