Hi,

A few questions for you:

Has anybody rolled back the canopy before? Is it easy and does it look ridiculous? I'm looking at a site that would not allow the full length.

Does anybody have a picture of the additional bedroom in place and is it a reasonable "actual" size? Our double camp bed should fit into the 140cm pod (we have the 2+4 inners) but as the pod is narrower higher up, it is almost impossible to close the door and it strains the fabric.

We love our tent a lot more now that we no longer follow the pitching instructions and have had 5 lovely UK holidays in it since 2010. Can't wait for the next season and looking forward to taking it to France!!

Thanks!!

As far as I can remember the inner is about 125 - 130cm wide, so a large single or small double, self inflating mats might be better in the inner.

Weve rolled back the canopy on our Croyde and it was easy for 2 people just looked a bit odd not having the front canopy but it was one of the reasons for buying it

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
