Bought a brand new Vermont XL this week and pitched it for the first time today.  Unfortunately, it's not what we wanted...

The problem is that it only has 2 bedrooms, not 3.  The big bedroom with the curtain down the middle would be ok, except the curtain doesn't fasten at the bottom.  So a small child could (and will) crawl around both rooms.  We bought it specifically so we could have 3 separate bedrooms and know that the kids were safely zipped up.

Has anyone ever successfully altered the inner to fasten the curtain to the bottom?  Or does anyone have any tips on how to solve our problem?  It's looking as though we'll have to sell the tent on at a loss without ever having used it.

Thanks Debbie.  I have a friend who can sew so I will try to get her on the case!

We were thinking we would go in the middle room, and we didn't want to be woken up (or in any way disturbed) by one of our kids.  In our current tent we share with the baby and were hoping to finally get some privacy.

If we can fix it as you suggested then the tent will be perfect.

I just wanted to add that I have found a solution.  I've found a tent repair company that are going to stitch up the divider curtain to make two separate pods.  I am so happy because it will now be the perfect tent for us.  The company website is below in case any one else has the same issue.
