I have great three season tents that I love. I'd like to be able to extend my seasons and have a more bomb proof shelter. I was thinkng of picking up a duomid xl. I don't really want to get the separate bug inner, but do like having a bathtub floor. On their site it lists that there is an optional floor, but I could not find much information on it. I would love to maintain the full space inside, opt for the perimeter bug netting (because why not?), and get a separate bathtub floor. Now I already have the twin-sized cuben bathtub floor for a zpacks solo plus tarp. Does anyone know if this would fit the duomid? I'm thinking I could just attach mitten books at some of the perimeter tie-outw and use the floor I've already got. Thoughts?

When I bought my solomid, I asked Ron to add 4 inner tieouts so I could hook up my zpacks bathtub and it works, very pleased.

I find it hard to believe that, at most, fitting your current bathtub would require more that a few short bits of cord (or more likely, shock cord).

I use a Zpacks Hexanet bug inner with my (standard) Duomid. Yes, just some lengths on bungee for the rear corners and rear center tie-outs attached to the tent stake points on the Duo. The best pitch was to use some small stakes for the front corners on the in inner. I tried some bungee configurations and none worked particularly well. They all pulled either the Duo or the Hexanet out of shape. I also have a small loop of Velcro that holds the front center of the Hexanet to my shelter pole, so all 6 tie-out points are secured.

I appreciate the info! I figured it would likely work, was just looking for moral support. :)
