Hi Craig

How did you get your SIG as smooth as that. We put ours up on Sunday, and the groundsheet was pulling inbetween a couple of the poles. I admit we are totally new to this tent lark, last time i went was 20 years ago. We struggled with the 3 black dome poles, they just didn't look right.

Any advice gratefully received.

Thanks

Sharon

Hi all,

We bought the Sahara 6 last month in the Go Outdoors sale for £199.00.  Attempted first pitch in the garden (just fitted and no more), was quite a struggle getting the main poles up and had to hire the kids to get inside and hold them.  We also had a bit of pulling on our ground sheet and would love to hear from anyone that can give any tricks of the trade to solve this problem.  This is out first tent with a s.i.g. so any advise is welcome. 

The tent is massive and can't wait to try it out for "real".  Heading off to N. Ireland at the beginning of August, had to go buy a trailer from Halford due to size of said tent.

Phoned Go Outdoors today regarding a carpet, but they are still out of stock, so just keep trying.

Happy camping!

Oh Julian,

I hear you, we are just back from N. Ireland after 3 nights.  Had a great time, weather a bit iffy, but you can't have it all.  I must agree with you 100 percent about fitting it back in the bag.  We gave up and just packed it into the trailer.  We bought a footprint groundsheet before we went and must admit really saved the tent from dirt, etc.  Got it from tentastic.  Still need a carpet for it, but will keep looking.

Night night from Stranraer, s.w. Scotland!!
