Hi, we have the lv6 2006 and that has the 2 equal size pods but this year it has changed. It is a fab tent loads of room and great height in the pods.

the first couple of times we pitched took well over an hour but now its down to about 40 mins from opening the bag to pegging out.  we put the poles in, then stand the back pole into place and peg in the main back guy rope, then pull out like a concertina and peg out the main front guy. this helps hold it up while you put the strengthening poles in the sides. from there its just pegging out !

its a great tent, hope you get loads of enjoyment from it !

Our LV6 arrived today, with a few other bits we ordered from Outdoorworld - intitial problem we had with ordering may have been our computer, hubby ordered from work with no problems whatsoever!

Can't wait to go camping now. We're booked up and now have the tent, we're hoping to have a practise camp in my brothers garden over the bank holiday - haven't told him yet!!!

We're gradually spending a fortune on all the bits that go with it though!! Used to just rough it, but now we've got 2 small children to contend with too, I don't feel like roughing it anymore, so we're gradually collecting the "extras", thing is, I don't know how we're going to get it all in the car!!!

Had a great if blustery week in Dorset a couple of weeks ago, tent stood up well to awful rain and winds at times!

We had fun with the groundsheets too!! As far as we've worked it out - feel free to correct me anyone! is that the larger one goes under the bedroom pods and covers part of the floor - to between the two windows, then the smaller one goes in front of that to the door, so that if you zip the front panel back a section, you don't need to have the groundsheet down. But there seems to be a right way and wrong way with the larger groundsheet - we have yet to get it right! If you have it laid down so it is narrower in the tent than the smaller groundsheet, you need to turn the larger one, so it is the same width, and then the hole for pegging the bedroom pods shouild be in the correct place - we think anyway!!!

Where pos, we tucked the flaps under the groundsheets. How is it supposed to be detachable btw?

We had fun with the door too - ours won't last many more trips unless we can suss out how to set it up with less pressure on the front panel - any tips for easing the tension here would be great! Do we need to loosen the straps that go underneath - don't know what they're called!
