I have the nevada xl and only put it up the once to check in the garden. I didn't notice any reinforcing tape on mine. I will be using it this weekend, and my sister has the same tent too, I will have a good look at both tents then.

If its peeling off though its not much good is it? Is it inside the tent or underneath?

Mmm , can't say I remember seeing it, that's not saying it wasn't there, because I didn't peg the bedroom down ,only a test pitch,  so might have overlooked it. 

but tell you what, check back here later on, I will go and see if I can unroll the tent far enough to look  for it.

I've been and checked, not looked inside, but there is a square of about 8x 10 inches of tape, on the underneath of the groundsheet. Mine doesn't look as if  its particularly well applied either, its lifting slightly at the corners.

there was also a strip about an inch wide, looks if it runs the full length which I thought was tape at first, but it looks more like where they have joined the groundsheet and overlapped  it and heat sealed. The square bit looks as if if its groundsheet material been heatsealed on too rather  than tape just glued on.

I'm going to use it the weekend and see how it goes. Should hopefully not have trouble with it leaking if its just reinforcing tape, and I will have a tarp underneath it too.

Oh I see, i thought you meant in the middle of the bit where the bedrom pegs down, not in the middle of the living area. I agree there doesn't seem to be any reason to have reinforcement if its not a stress point, unless its been damaged in manufacture and repaired?

I didn't unroll the whole tent, bit difficult indoors, just as far as this square which I assumed  is the bedroom pegging point. it is about a quarter of the way in and at the halfway point so most likely that. so no idea if I have any other bits in the living area.

Will you let me know how you get on tomorrow please?

can i just hijack this thread

can you fit a double mattress(140cm wide) in each of the bedroom compartments of the xl/l

We haven't tried 2 double airbeds in ours, we had one in one side, and used the other for storage and loo.

Looking at the dimensions here it would seem a bit too small. we had a double and a single in the larger bedroom with room to spare. I was surprised at how wide the single gelert mattress was to be honest,like a normal single bed,  two small kids could top and tail quite comfortably on that, if that would solve it.
