I always spread out my 4m in the house after I've been camping, whether it's wet or not, as I'm a bit paranoid about putting it away damp. I have no problem draping it over a table and chairs or a bed. 5m is obviously larger but I'm sure you'd be able to dry it indoors as long as it's turned frequently to make sure it's all dry. The advantage of the ZIG is that the groundsheet can be removed and deal with separately. The 5m should be a good size for you - the 4m would be too small.

-Hi

We have a 5m bell from belltent so no mesh doors - think its a fab idea and would be the one i would have gone for

We just use a cheap blue tarp cut slightly smaller as a footprint, seems to work for us

We have been lucky and the tent has yet to get wet....will need to  dry inside and just keep turning it when our luck runs out!!

I bought a spare groundsheet from Soulpad to use as a footprint for less than half of the price of the Greenoutdoor one.

OK I'm going for it - the Karma with zig I think. Also I've put in a offer for one of the tarps/awnings mentioned on another thread, and invested in a utility for cooking and storage. It's never all going to fit in the car.....

Now I need to sell my Icarus setup from last year to fund all this!

Thanks again for all the advice.
