I bought it, but not had a chance to pitch it yet. Will be April or May before I get the chance to do so.

If you are interested, it is on special sale promotion again this week.

Ah sorry, I misunderstood what you meant by letterbox, now I see. I'm not sure it has this, but will have to wait and see. Right enough it would be good if it does.

Then you can open the door from the top and leave 20cm sealed,off at thr bottom. Just be careful
Not to trip over it when going in and out.

I think it does. Double sided stick on velcro sounds like the way to go. Sometime in early spring i will pitch it, guage what i have, then decide what i could do with it.

If theres is a front inner skirt like the JRC one you could
Use double sided stick on velcro I suppose. Does the door letterbox down from the top?

Just found this clip, makes it look super easy to assemble: https://youtu.be/6lvImV8TpII

In this clip it appears the entire front of the groundsheet is not zipped in, i was hoping it was just the door area.

You will be delighted. They are nothing like a pole threading coleman tent.

If i can get it up in 20 minutes i will be a happy man. Last year i bought a Coleman 6 man tent for family camping trips. It takes me and the wife the best part of an hour to erect, making it no good for 1 night trips. Its a bit of a beast to be fair, weighing in at 25kg.

Yes i think you are correct, i just clocked it near the very end of the film. Once closed i could always lay something up against the overflap to give it some sturdiness.

Yes, the poles are connected via elaistic and stay permanently threaded into the tent. It will be physically easy to set up alone. Having 4 ribs including peak with at least 5 sections each rib, plus about 8 support poles. It is not going to go up in 30 seconds like a tempest brolly.

Probably About 20 minutes including zipping in groundsheet and pegging out

From what I see in the video, the groundsheet has a high flap at the front.
