We have the 900 and it sat in pretty wet ground with no effect, I have read others having this problem, not sure if it is fault or a bad batch as others have said they have had no problem. we were away a couple of weeks ago and had some pretty heavy rain for a couple of days and it remained water tight.

Edit post: When we first looked at the tent is was on display in a field that was under water, again no sign of leakage, the guys doing the show gave up the next day as most others were flooding.

I suppose that you could enquire with Vango as the tent has a lifetime guarantee.

Vango are usually pretty decent when it comes to customer care, from what I have seen on here.

I would give them a ring, or email them. I would have put a link on, but I can't get on the Vango website at present.

Just wanted to add, we have been in heavy rain with no leaking in our vango tent, I would contact vango about your problem, as with our first vango tent they were excellent in dealing with our tent which we ripped,by accident, it was replaced without a fuss.
