What do you think of  it?

We used ours for 3 nights and it rained on the middle night and we had quite a few leaks, it was like the rain was just soaking through the material. It was more the odd drips rather than continuous leaks and it didn't leak in the bedroom.

I'm new to this forum but have been reading it for a while .

one of my friends has this tent , and we found that if it was not pitched tight enough , water could pool into some of the roof "sections".  Other than that , are you sure it was not just condensation ?

 Yes it could have been, i never thought of that. We just automatically thought it was leaking with the amount of rain that came down.

Thanks for replying

Hi,

I got my vancouver in march only been away 2 times both north yorkshire area. It rained while we were away but no rain came in it was just condensation, it was to cold to leave the vents open on the night so i put up with condensation. So when i get up in the morning i used a micro fibre cloth to wipe the inner surfaces seems to work.

But to be honest i cant find fault with this tent only thing is im having to trouble finding a footprint ground sheet and fitted carpet? any ideas.

 

Heres some pictures

One more thing is that on both trips there was not another tent the same as this i was well chuffed haha.

I think the nevada  L carpet may fit the vancouver. check the living space area against it.
