We've had our tent for about 5 years, and we've probably used it 20 times for the duration. And we've NEVER gotten the rainfly properly set up. Everytime we camp, we try a different way, we rotate the rain fly, etc. and have not been successful. The directions that the tent came with were not really helpful, either, btw.
So this weekend, we went camping with the American Heritage Girls and set the thing up to the best of our ability, just trying to cover the screen because it was supposed to shower later that evening.
Some of the veteran campers of the group came over to help me with the rain fly, and what do you know? They knew exactly where it should go!!! YAY!!! We finally got it!!!
I took some pics so that we would remember for next time. What always threw me off was the curvature of the tent around the screen in the pic. I assumed that part would go over the back doors to the tent. It doesn't.
And yes, our tent comes with 2 backdoors, a partition down the middle, room to stand up and a screened in front porch--great for keeping away the 'skeeters!
