Just come back from a rainy weekend away with the tent and my new Diablo 400 footprint groundsheet.  Pegged the groundsheet out tightly and then put the tent on top but found out that the groundsheet was about 6 - 12 inches larger than the base of the inner.  Has anyone else got one of these sheets and if so had the same problem.  I have emailed Vango and asked them about it and for the measurements for the groundsheet as I think the retailer has sold me the groundsheet for the 600.

 

Any replies very grateful.

 

Thanks

Hi

We have the diablo 600 with the footprint and our footprint is larger than the tent we find it very helpful for the positioning of the bedroom poles and just follow the shape of the footprint as a guide and just tuck the surplus footprint under when pegging out.

Thanks,  Just what we did,  good job after the bad weather this weekend.  Tent stayed up and really stood up well to the wind and rain.
