I was wondering if anyone had experience using the Solo-plus tarp with the Twin size bathtub groundsheet? My current set up is the solo-plus with the hexa-net. I would like to be able to spread out in the cooler months when bug are not an issue and I was thinking the twin size would maximize the space under the tarp. What I would really like is if someone had a photo of the solo-plus with the twin size groundsheet. It would also be nice if the wife decided to come along as we could both fit under the tarp. What are yalls thought?
Thanks in advance,
-Eric

It works well. I have the Solo plus tent, with the twin groundsheet. Dimensions of the ground sheet fit perfectly under the solo plus. I know you have the tarp version without the netting but i doubt there would be any difference. No pics on hand unfortunately :(

" It would also be nice if the wife decided to come along as we could both fit under the tarp."

Well, since I know you are a loving and caring husband, and will give her the front side while you slide under the sloping and typically wet low side, everything will be just fine.

One of the things I was wondering is what Greg was talking about. How much space will there be betwen your head and the sloping side? Would there be enough space to lay on your side or would you have to sleep on your back in order to not touch the tarp?
Thanks,

As Jacob said, the double groundsheet fits fine – the Solo Plus and the Twin have the same footprint.
My wife is about 5'6" and she fit in the back of the tent but with little room to spare. In bad weather she had to be very careful not to move around too much. When ZPacks came out with the Duplex, it was the first time she agreed to a gear upgrade with enthusiasm!
