Hi all,

We went away with our Amazon 600 for the first time this weekend.

This is the 2nd time I have pitched this tent (having tested it in the garden after buying it), but both times I have found that the SIG at the front of the tent (just to the left of the front door as you look at the tent from outside) is raised slightly from the ground.

Both times I have tried to find ways of rectifying this by moving poles but don't seem to be able to get a good compromise between the ground sheet being down and the tent material between the front and second set of poles being too loose. I can also see a 'stress line' running along the ground sheet from the front where the SIG is most raised to the window on the left side of the tent.

I know this is not necessarily the most commonly owned tent, but it is a fairly straight forward tunnel design, and I was just after some tips or a troublshooting process that would help me get the SIG flat when pitching??

Many thanks,
James
