We tried ours out for the first time at Easter for a long weekend. We bought the Nebraska XL as a long stay tent but were suprised at how easily it can be pitched. It took two of us to get the poles in but after that I finished pegging whilst OH filled the tent up.
We were at Cotswold View pitched between two caravans so needed to position our tent sideways. I can see that often being the case where a site has marked out pitches.
We also have the footprint groundsheet and carpet. The footprint isn't any better than a DIY store tarp except that you don't need to measure and cut it. Also for a big tent you would need to tape two bits of tarp together to get the length. I wouldn't bother with a smaller tent like our Monty 4.
I'd highly recommend the carpet. It protects the SIG and is warm underfoot.
