We have just bought a Vermont XL, watched the You Tube video and pitched it in the back garden! Went up extremely easily without argument between me and hubby or 4 children. It has been raining and so far no leaks which is great...but the roof doesn't seem to be taught enough and water is collecting in top. Can anyone suggest any solution? We're sleeping out there tonight so fingers crossed for a good night!

hi we have the vermont l mate when we put ours up we peg the rear ground sheet and then walk up the sides pulling forward the poles at the same time.also if the ground is not level your fitting a loosing battle.we put ours up yesterday to get some rain on it to check there is no leaks before using it this year.
thanks for that - we've just put it down after a good night and are still trying to get it back in bag. Will try your technique next time we put it up in a couple of weeks time!
