Hi everyone

Does anyone know if the Vango Idaho 500 has a completely sewn in groundsheet, therefore giving double protection under the bedroom pods which also have bathtub groundsheets sewn in to them.

Cheers

The bedroom pods should have sewn in groundsheets. The Idaho has a bathtub groudsheet which I believe is completely sewn in except for by the door where it clips on to the side of the tent. Hope that helps.

Hi afbowman

Thanks for your reply, I was confused why the bedroom pods should have a sewn in bathtub ground sheet if the main flysheet is fully sewn in.

cheers!

Hi,

We have this tent and the flysheet is fully sewn in, but as afbowman says, it toggles by the doors. But the bedroom pods are also fully sewn in. It takes no time to pitch and is a well designed little tent. Enjoy !!
