Hi all....its been a while since my last post,but after last weeks holiday (LOL) i feel its time to get back to uk camping for some tips...Our outwell vermont is one fantastic bit of kit but since we bought it we've had bad luck . It brings out the best in the weather, we haven't seen sunshine on our trips in 2 yrs....Whit week gave it a damn good weathering, holding out for a forcasted sunny day we awoke to more rain, that was enough for me (even the dog was depressed) so i had to pack away wet vermont,now its bad enough dry but how do you vermont owners manage with getting the marquee back in the bag....so frustrating...thanks ian

Can you post the dates you are camping so we can all avoid them

Experience enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again.
Everything has been said before, but since nobody ever listens we have to keep going back and saying it all over again and again and again

Roll, unroll, re-roll and if necessary do it again. Have managed to pack the tent by myself using this method.

Take. Look on YouTube not sure if there is a video of Vermont but there is one for Montana I've camped for years and struggled first time I tried get back in bag .so I youtubed Outwell Montana 6
There was a video to pack away.
Tried it worked first time, as you roll it up you think it will never work but it does,it's a guy from Yeomans who does it.
There is a video of an easier way of pitching it too--I use this method ever time now. Good luck in trying and don't worry every time I'm off it rains too!
I have a permenant loud over me lol

we had a vermont m the best way is when you are decamping leave doors and windows open to allow air to escape when folding, when making a fold, crawl along the folded part and expel the air out of that section, repeat on all other folds till you start to roll it up ,roll it up as tight as you can keeping pressure on the top works for me and ive just bought a montana the same thing applies hope that helps :)
