 I think that the main message here is you can give it a quick air just about anywhere but a day or two pitched in the garden will give it a proper drying.

Quote; Coming home with a wet tent is the only time I regret getting a tent with a SIG...

Drat, just bought a khyam chatsworth with sig, didnt occur to me at the time it would make drying it out harder, used to draping a tent over table and sofa if necessary. Oh well have to hope we always pack up in the dry.

Hey, I forgot we have a zip-in groundsheet.

If it's raining, should we detach it at the site, or when we get home?

Well....  If you have nowhere to pitch it at home, it will be a lot easier to take it out whilst the tent is pitched - so if I were you, I would take it out at the site.

I know you might not have the room, but when I get back I put mine over the washing line in the garden with the groundsheet facing up. This gives me a chance to brush off any dry dirt and also wipe anything down that needs doing.  If it's not too bad and not wet so doesn't need drying I take it my FiancĂ©'s as he has quite a large garden and just brush it down before squeezing it back into it's very undersized bag!
