We have just put up our new vermont L, totally thrilled with the tent and it has all pitched so easily except for one part that has us totally stumped, i am hoping another vermont owner can answer this one for me!....

In the porch area, there is a skirt that runs around the bottom edge, on the inside of this there are single ties along it, but we cant see where these would attach, or what they are for.  They do not seem to be anything to do with the bath tub ground sheet as this has its own seperate attachment points and that all attaches fine.  If there was a loop at the end of the tie i would think it was another pegging point, but it is literally one single tie and there are several of these running around the inside.

Hope someone may be able to shed some light on this, no doubt i am going to feel very stupid when i find out what it is for

thanks

I am looking in the 2008 Outwell book and can't see anything about them but there is a picture of it with the front completley up on porch poles and I can see dangling bits. It does look like it's ties for if you roll the front up instead of up and peggin out. (does that make sense)

The only other thing I can think of is cable tidies.

Or to tie the skirt bits up for ventilation.

thanks for all your replys, i think that they maybe they are to lift up the skirt, as mentioned, as there are loops on the other side of the skirt. It seems to be the only purpose for them really. Bit dissapointed now as i was hoping it would be a bit more exciting than that lol

thanks again
