Cheers Richard. I'll give it a go. I found it was the porch which got in
the way, but I just remembered I left the doors rolled up, which probably
didn't help.

No it won't ..... have everything (inner and porch) zipped down. I was told
by an experienced camper to do that and keep them all zipped when pegging
out base also during 'put up'. Then you will not overstretch size slightly
and make the zips hard to operate.

Oh, I had another close look at the Fox Easy Dome today. Lovely bivvy,
and
cosy, but it is so small the bedchair pushes the inner tent against the
outer tent. Not good if it is raining heavily.

No ... it will have the potential to wick through and/or cause condensation
at those points. One of the good design features of the Chub XS range is the
larger air space between inner and outer skin compared to other makes.

Also, the flat rear end

could cause problems if a strong wind comes from behind I would imagine.


Bound to Imo.

Such a shame none of the tackle shops have Chub domes erected.


Yep it is .... I saw a few being used and spoke to owners before deciding.
Generally speaking Chub gear is good but unfortunately not stocked as widely
as other makes.

Cheers ....... Richard
