Can anyone help?

 

When pitching tents with attached bedroom pods should you untie them (all or just unhook the clips) before pitching or just leave as they are?

Also, we have the Outwell Vermont and one of the elastic bits attaching the bedroom pods has persihed (noticed on our first trip) as has one of the elastic bits to attached the porch groundsheet.

Just wondered if anyone had similar problem?

 

Will speak to shop tomorrow but just wondered if it were a common problem.

 

Thanks very much.

We detach our bedrooms so we can pack them up in the dry and not risk getting them wet or muddy. also i find it easier to fold the tent if the bedroom has been removed.

As former scout says leave the bedrooms attached but to help with putting up & taking down don't close the doors right up so air can easily get in & out

Hi,

If its dry when we pack away we leave the inner in situ.If our tent is wet when we pack up and we have to pitch it at home to dry it we take the inner out and put it in a seperate bag,dry the tent then put the inner back in ready for next time.
