We've camped twice over the summer in our Rivendale and love it. Managed to get it in the bag first time at the weekend by rolling towards the valves too.

Does anyone have a solution to adding hanging space to the Rivendale? I would really like to get coats and jumpers hanging up but can't see a way of doing this yet. Any tips gratefully received!

I've just purchased a Rivendale and love the ease of pitching and the the space!! Unfortunately though I've just had to return it due to extensive leaking through the front door zip stitching. It seems there isn't any silicon coating on this part which I'm guessing must be a manufacturing error as the water just seeps straight through!! Has any one else had this issue? I'm hoping they will just send me a new tent(!!). Thankfully i tested it in the garden before taking it away...

Yes Chris... Beads of rain oozing through the seam above the front door in rain. I have pics but can't work out how to put them on! Ours went back once and was resealed and no better.... So we sent it back again and I pushed for a new one via the retailer we for it from... This one has not had a proper rain test - but I'm hoping it will be better!

Thanks v20law, I'm not the only one then! The retailer seems to think they will just send me a new one, lets hope so.

I have recently purchased a rivendale 800xl and used it once.what a great tent,if you watch the video it should go into the bag at a bit off a squeeze.my main concern is the front awning door with only 3 pegging points the door bellows out quite a bit in only light wind.and I am worried that in high winds this might damage the tent,as we cannot always pitch the back into the prevailing wind.does anyone else have this concern or is it just me being overly cautious
