Hi all
I need some advice on pitching my 2008 Indiana 8 and i knew this would be the place to look!

We have just returned from a week in North Yorkshire. I pitched the tent as per the instructions. My problem lies with the bottom of the outer tent.

At the bottom of the tent there is a 6? inch skirt. There are pegging points at the corners of each section and then loops in the middle. My question is - does this skirt get pegged outwards, away from the tent, flat to the ground using only the corner pegging points or does it get pegged under the groundsheet?

I have tried it both ways and neither seems right. The other Indi's on the site used both of these methods - so copying them left me none the wiser!

Thanks in advance
Jenky.

The skirt definitely gets pegged away from the tent. It's to stop wind & rain getting into the living area.
On uneven ground this can become difficult as the skirt wont reach the floor properly.

Hope this helps.

Thanks - that makes more sense!

In an ideal world then would the skirt be flat to the floor?

thanks again
