We've used our LV6 twice now and are having problems with the end door/wall.

Basicly is seems too small to fit. We find it increasingly dificult to zip either the door to the wall or the wall to the tent. We've loosening the guide ropes but it's still a very tight fit and a four hand job to zip the door closed at night.

Has anybody else had this problem?

I noticed this issue on a friend's tent of this brand and model yes. Never did figure it out properly as she only had it pitched for a weekend.

Hi Widewolf,

Use the search button and search for 'gelert lv6', 'lokon vario' etc., and you'll find plenty of threads concerning this tent and loads of tips including solving problems with the door on the front panel.

Nope, Had it drying out in my back garden yesterday. (was a bit wet when we packed up on tueday). As the garden is quit small i did not bother to peg any of the pole points down and only used the front and rear guide rope, just enough to stop it falling down. I think i must have had a "scrunk" wall.

Hi Breeze,  I checked the old posts but there was none that related to this problem.Thanks for all the help with the LV6. Every question I've had you've been there with good advice. i'm going to upgrade to an Outwell Indiana 6 tomorrow.
