My son has a 2013 REI quarter dome T1 that we got as REI was closing out that model. They were out of footprints and so we ended up ordering the footprint for the 2014 version but the tent and footprint aren't quite compatible. Does anyone have a picture of how the correct footprint is supposed to hook up at the foot end of the tent? We'll likely end up sewing something to match the tent but I'm not quite sure how the foot end is supposed to go given that there is only one pole down there.

In a related note, perhaps I'm dense but it seems like this tent takes a huge number of stakes (like 9 or 10) compared to my old half dome 2 and newer half dome 4 (backpacking with little ones). This is related to the main lengthwise pole only coming to the center of the foot and not the corners. It seems like the corners need staking and the instructions seem to say that. But then the same corners need staking again for the rain fly. Have others found this too?

Thanks
