Hi, we got our Croyde 6 Air and put it up this weekend. I love the tent and the layout, but I have some minor niggles - it would be great to get your advice as to whether it's worth getting back in contact with the supplier.
Firstly, there are a couple of faults in the sewn in groundsheet. They look like they've been repaired - but I'm worried it's a source of weakness. Both are in the back right hand corner, underneath the inner tents.
Secondly, when I first put it up, we couldn't close the door between the tent and the porch - the door material just wouldn't stretch. I deflated it, repegged (just in case), zipped up the door and then reinflated. The tent went up fine, I could open and close the inner door and I thought all was fixed, but then noticed that the roof over the porch area was significantly lower than the roof over the living area and the black material where the airbeam goes was dragged down to the lower side. This made it difficult to remove wrinkles and tension the porch area as much as I'd like and I worry about rain pooling rather than running off. I'm worried they've sewn the inner door too tight and it's slightly deforming the tent shape.
Our last tent was dirt cheap (£100 - with ~120 nights camping for 5 of us in the last 7 years - bargain!) and while it wasn't perfect, I could never complain. Now we've spent so much money on an upgrade - am I expecting too much? Should I contact the supplier?
