Hello.

I have just bought a new Montana 6PE..used for the first time over the weekend..

It's OK but seems to have a design flaw...where the groundsheet zips into the main tent at the front, there are effectively two "holes" where the corners "fold in".....we had a slug come in the tent via this route !
Looking at other tents of this size, this could never happen....the groundsheet is completely sealed to the walls...am I missing something here ?

Regards
Phil

As you have said you will need a fully sealed tent with a 'bathtub' groundsheet to reduce the chance of any visitors.

While a slug isn't the first thing I would want in my tent, you are living in a field for a few days and natures creatures are bound to find a way in, one way or another. Its part of the camping life, I wouldn't let it bother you too much.
