Hi All

I just thought that I would show pics of my 1st ever camping trip.

I would like constructive criticism on my pitching please.

I know something was wrong as the part of the canopy that goes over the tent was pulling down on the tent and also covered some of the window.

Well afterscrolling sideways for ages  to look at your posting. it seems like your canopy is too far to the left on the poles. It looks like the poles should be equal distances out of the sleeves. and maybe if you tighten the straps that run underneath, across the floor, it may lift the canopy and bring the sides in more. 

i would also think about insulating underneath your body in the aribed to stop the cold rising in the night.

Hope you don't mind - Reformatted your post to make the pictures vertical.

Looking at the first picture, you haven't guyed out the right hand side of the main tent? 

The main guys for the right hand pole will make the tent more stable and keep shape. 

Personally I always open bedroom vents fully and guy them open as well to help with ventilation and reduce condensation...

More importantly - Did you have a good time?
