Hi all,
Already I have to say thanks to many people on this forum for the advice I've already found on camp sites and on tents. We recently bought a new Diablo 600, and have pitched it twice so far - first time for practice in the garden (though the garden is not really big enough), and the second time we camped in it for one night. That was a good experience, because there were high winds, and shortly after we put it up, it started raining and rained all night, but we stayed perfectly dry. Our 5 year old daughter absolutely loved it, and slept very well. We enjoyed it too.
Anyway, we find the pitching instructions to be confusing. Its as if the author got bored when he/she got to putting up the outer part of the tent. The instructions make little sense.
Does anybody have any good guides or advice on how to put up the outer tent, so that it is straight, and doesn't touch the inner (especially where the porch joins the main tent)?
Secondly, can anyone tell me what the different shaped pegs are for that come with the tent?
Lastly, something I discovered - I thought that our new D600 was supposed to come with a porch that has a skylight in it, and wall of pockets opposite the porch side door. It doesn't - no skylight. I rang Vango, and apparently, after receiving customer feedback about the skylights, (mostly relating to problems with condensation), they changed the design and their production run. The latest D600s have no skylight, but instead have a new window in the wall opposite the side door in the porch which also provides extra ventilation. Nice to see a manufacturer listening to their customers.
Chris.
