I noticed on the cover, in one picture it seems to cover the tent completely (all the way to the ground).. but in another picture it doesn't seem it completely cover the tent. My question is does it come ALL THE WAY DOWN? I have a tent that is VERY similar but doesnt come to the ground.. and Ive woken up in a puddle of water several times.

Hey Barbara, The cover doesn't go all the way to the ground. It does go past where the bath tub floor starts, and as Dave mentioned the bath tub extends about 5 inches up. You can tighten down the fly with the straps but if you tighten them too much you can cause the tent poles to flex. There is suppose to be a small gap between the fly and the ground for ventilation so that the tent doesn't hold condensation. hope this helps,

Hello - There are adjustable straps that connect the fly to the tent body (as fabric stretches over time and needs to be tensioned over time...) - and the picture looks like the straps are not pulled in as tight as I would set up the tent. So to answer your question, the tent fly can be pulled in more tightly to the bottom of the tent body. One last thing to point out, if you look at the waterproof floor on the tent, it comes up about 4 or 5 inches on the side of the tent, so this is ultimately how you stay dry and still allow ventilation into your tent. Hope this helps-
