Excellent tent but no good for short period due to the energy needed to erect although I have the porch and canopy. The porch being the most fiddliest when trying to get the roof to sit true over the top of the main tent. Time to put up main tent is about 45 minutes then 15 mins re tensioning for 1 person. The groundsheet problem as previously mentioned is due to width of down poles not being correct, or there are tensioners on the ring and pin system that need adjusted. This should fix it, note always peg the g sheet and fly sheet last, do the poles and guys first to ensure the ground sheet is true. Agree not an easy one due to size but once up correctly it is very stable and is the best family tent I've had ever although also agree they should have included all round zips on all 3 doors !

We are a family of 4 and it took us a long time to decide on the right tent, but as soon as we saw the corvus we fell in love, it had all the space we needed and more!We have put it up twice and are now not quite so enthusiastic. The main issue is that you can't seem to get the groundsheet and fly to peg low enough to the floor so any wind goes straight underneath. As a result the groundsheet balloons a foot up inside of the tent and turns into a 'bouncy castle'! Also does not have enough protection on the front door zip, a token piece of velcro holds the flap shut and gives up straight away when the wind picks up. So when it rained water came in the front door zip, also leaked on a couple of seams. Overall loads of space and the bedrooms are fantastic. But disappointed with the design/pegging of the fly/groundsheet.
