Johnny, glimpsed the picture, and it does appear to be slightly misaligned. Seam sealer, tenacious tape , what ever, it is a smaller repair. I would only move them if I thought I was going to need them though . The reason the imagine has not appeared in post is that you have not copied it ! There is a knack , you have to get your cursor into the centre of the picture so that neither back or forward arrow appears. I will wait and see Sharlenes pic also , just to refresh myself.
------------- Be seeing you!!

I've bought some on recommendation but haven't had a need to use it yet. Apprently, as it names suggests, it is very tenacious and sticks exteremely well.
Apprently of you snip the corners of and round the edges even less chance of the stuff coming off.
Hi all, just back from 2 weeks of horrible weather in Cornwall and we had the same leak at the front lantern point, also from the fan port and for added good measure there was so much rain the ground couldnt drain quick enough and the water came up through the floor zip joining the chef annexe to the main tent so all in all not a good start
We didn't have any other issue whatsoever other than a small drip through the ties, can't believe your's was leaking the way it did, I would ring the sdhop you bought it from tomorrow and get it changed.
Went back to Castlecroft camping aka JR Leisure, Bury today and they couldnt have been more helpfull, they offered us the choice of a full refund, complete replacement (they had 2 left), or pick a different tent and they would adjust the price accordingly, no quibbles or arguments. Excellent customer service I thought After umming and arring for what seemed like an eternity between a Vango Zambeizie and the Evolva we decided to stick with the Evolva as we both liked the versatility of having a big tent for main holidays and a smaller one for weekends all in one and also the big bedrooms.
Lets hope the replacement one is a bit drier on the inside or the old twin axle Tabbert will be brought out of retirement and washed down and a couple more years squeezed out of her

Ooh pleased you did that as the Zambezi was not as well reviewed at the Aspen it replaced. We had the Aspen 700DLX, a nightmare to get up and get right as was soo heavy. The Evolva I find way more simple to erect and also like you say-very adaptable!
Glad you kept the faith Uncle Foxy ! Long found JR Leisure to have great customer service . The Zambezi have suffered from being a change in design to all in one pitching , with reports of leaks around the window .
As reported on the Evolva Society thread my overall appraisal (for that is what this thread is called after all!) is a good tent.
Absolutely no leaks despite the downpour we had alll day Wednesday.
Space is fab and was set off nicely by my Outwell Minnesota carpet.
Pitching was a bit of a struggle but taking down and putting away was no problem.
On the downside, the front door is a poor design, but you will all know about that as my reporting of its falling inwards into the tent has started the pursuit of a canopy that might fit. Also zips do catch on the zip storm covers far too regularly.
Worst news is my broken zip pull (sheared off completely when fixing CA to tent) and the damage to the seam on the front door left hand wing guying point where a 6" section has torn away from the fabric.
I am hoping for a repair, as Highbridge Caravans have no more in stock. If that can't be done I will have to say goodbye to my Evolva after just one use and buy something else with the refund.
Will keep you posted. If I do end up having to part company with the tent I will have an unused Link Annexe for sale!
Out of interest, if it wasn't the Evolva what would it be ?In my case I would be torn between going Dutch, or something like the Hi Gear Corado . You never know when it might happen though .
