We are camping virgins, Ive just purchased a skydome 6 for use by myself, hubby and two boys (2yrs and 4yrs).  Has anyone any tips on this tent, erecting it and ways to get the most out of it while we enjoy our trip (4 nights) in the peak district??  Your advice including the downpoints would be grateully received to ensure I know what to expect/avoid.

I have the tent and have used it for a couple of summers.

It is relatively easy to put up, a straight forward dome with a porch extension. I usually have it all pitched with a bit of help from my 10 year old in around 20 minutes. Nice and easy.

It pitches inner first, so if it is raining, just get someone to hold the flysheet over you, while you set out the inner and raise it from underneath - again not that hard.

Not had any problems at all with it. A simple, nice easy (and big) single berth. Great if you are tall.

.. oh' just a minor point - there are no curtains on the windows, so watch out if you use the porta potti in the porch as we do! :->

Fire away if you have any questions.
