Hi Pager, you are welcome.  Before we bought our tent last year we had only admired these tents, either from a distance or in magazines etc. - we couldn't get a clear idea of what the actual inside looked like. 

The carpet is an Outwell Minnesota 4 carpet.  The carpet definately make the tent more cosier and nice to walk on without any shoes.

Happy camping

No, not really - it doesnt appear to be a problem with having too much material, it's to do with the support. The only way we can see to resolve this, is to attach something to the flysheet to pull the inner tent towards it - we do not want to make any modifications to the flysheet as this could cause other problms.

But hey, we love the tent anyway.

We are very happy with our Barbados and it is only a little thing, but the weight of the fabric of the inner tent causes it to hang down so that it does not follow the line of the flysheet - it could just do with some kind of hook and elastic arrangement to raise the material without closing up the gap between the inner and the fly.  Its only a problem if you erect the tent on a slight slope and want to sleep with your head at the far end of the tent.  Hope that explains it better.
