Does anyone have experience with this tent? I took it out for the second time yesterday, and I've got to say that I'm not convinced I bought the right tent. It is certainly lightweight, and simple to setup, there is no debating that. However there are a few things I would like to complain about.
1. The tie for the tent door is 3/4 of the way down the door. This does not allow the door to stay tied up. I've pulled it tight and tied it, but not once has it stayed up. It stays tied, but the whole top part flops down. Every single time....and I have tried many times.
2. No matter how tight i pitch it....and I have pulled it very taunt to include the rope tighteners on the end, I can never get it taunt enough. It always droops down and I end up with the roof of the tent about an inch from my nose dripping condensation.
3.The mesh wall also droops down into the ground, which last night was quite wet, allowing water to get in.
I was so excited about this tent, but I am really starting to regret it. Im starting to wonder if the rainbow was the way to go. At least I would have slot more functional room. Does anyone have any experience with this tent? Any advice?
