I too bought the additional groundsheet with the idea that it would give me an indication on where to lay the tent out - ie I could mess around based on pitch incline, position, etc.

I too have noticed it's bigger than the main tent GS and did wondere whether I should peg it down or fold it.

The point I really picked up on was the bedroom doors / zips not closing properly. Even with the additional GS I find that the bedroom zips are extremely difficult to close once the tent is up. I've found myself adjusting and re-adjusting the guy ropes hoping it will improve but it doesn't make much difference. I'm worried that I'll either rip the tent of break the zips.

Any advice or tips would be appreciated.

Well it's strange you should mention that as I've only put the tent up twice !

This time I've made sure they're closed when I packed it up in case that was the problem. I can't remember if they were closed when I put it up for the first time.

We'll see next time !

i second what glendo90 said if you keep all zips closed untill you have compleatly finished erecting tent including ajusting guy ropes i dont think you will have anymore trouble.we had same problem first time we put our diablo up but some kind person on here sorted us out not had a problem since (somtimes if ground is uneaven the bedroom zips might be a little stiff to close but not bad enough to cause damage
