Hi,

I have had my tent for 3 years and still working out which is the best way to fit the bathtub ground sheet.  lol  because i am always forgetting which way it should fit.

Well so far I find it easier to attache it before I put the bedroom section in first.  The bath tub should follow the shape of the tent. There should be toggles which as you know on the bathtub after they have been inserted there should be loops attached as well which pegs are put through then go into the ground creating a wall going up the side of the tent.  Smooth out the sheet so there is'nt any creases. 

Before inserting the ring and pin it may be best to loosen the straps first. Which i have to do on my tent and then tighten on my tent they are tension straps.  I've just reread your message as you are having problems with the porch.  Maybe you could give it a go and see how it works sometime it's trial and error.  My tent is the vango oregon 400 which has the bath tub rather than the sig.  Sorry i can't give you any more help or ideas.  Have fun

My next camping trip is Berkshire.  My sister and her kids are joining me.  i'm supplying the tent and equipment they are bringing their sleeping bags. I am going down the day before so i can relax before they descend. Also i can put their tent up the next day.  Hopefully I will have the morning to my self.

Hi,

We have the Utah 6 - On its test pitch in the garden we connected the groundsheet.

Since then we have left it connected, luckily when we have camped out the weather has been kind enough that we have packed away dry if not near dry - the had it all out at home to dry it.

With the porch ring and pin, take a little time to make sure it isn't twisted around the main poles that form the main tunnel - if that makes any sense.

We like the tent but are stuggling to find an extension. Would be handy in the rain.
