and could you help me out with a problem that I have with mine?
I've had it out now twice in the pounding rain, the first time it was great, water-tight and perfect and the second time it leaked like a sieve. We had water pouring down the walls and up from the corners and our mats were almost floating.
We pitched it in a hurry the second time and didn't use stakes except for the rainfly, could that have been the problem? It just seemed like the rain was pouring through the mesh "front" part of the tent and the rainfly wouldn't cover them. Has anybody else had this problem and what did you do about it? It looks to have been factory seam-sealed so I really don't think that was the problem... TIA for all good advice!
