We took our tent up to the local football pitch to get the hang of putting the frame together, as it's been a while! That went well but what I remember from staying in Eurocamp tents is that there was always a pole in front of the bedroom compartments supporting the middle of tent. Looking at the frame by itself it's almost as if it will sag when the canvas on it, although it was not sagging in the photos I have from the previous owner. I'm probably worrying too much but would like some advice on this. Also if it has no centre pole, what will I attach the electric sockets and lamp to?

Hi, I'd love to help, but I can't find anything about your tent :( I saw pictures of a 6 person Lichfield tent and that didn't have a center pole. Two things come to mind though:

If your frame should have a center pole, then it should have a socket in the frame apex somewhere for you to plug the pole into.

If you don't have a frame running along the apex, then the canvas (like mine in the Palamos 6) should have a reinforced canvas patch that the pole supports. It also has a reinforced patch on the ground sheet for the pole to stand on.

Do you have anything like this in your tent?

Thank you very much for your help.  There is no socket for a centre pole or re-inforced panel on groundsheet.  Don't know about the canvas because I have'nt opened it up fully yet, we were just getting the hang of the frame. 17

I noticed on the bottom of the pole bag that it says it's a Litchfield Vermont 7.  Well, now I know 17
