Weird... the only problem I've had is forgetting to attach the centre pole before pegging out. Aside from that I've had no problems setting up.
If it helps I do this:
Peg each side of the bivvy, peg the front of bivvy at door and then peg the back two and move round the rest.

Yeah I'd you're having problems mate maybe just a dodgy one. Sure Fox or the tackle shop you bought from will sort.

Hi all, Im hoping I can get your view on the Fox R Series 2 man XL. Im an experienced angler but havent been on serious night fishing trips since I was in my teens and twenties (Im now in my forties).
Im looking to buy the R Series 2 man XL for my own use when solo night fishing at local fisheries but I also so I have the option to can take my daughter fishing when the weather is good. She enjoys it and we will be using it alot for this aswell so it wont just be a one off.
Question is this... Is the 2 man XL version too big for a solo trip and is the 1 man version big enough for a large person and a child (age is 12) or do I go for the 2 man XL and use if for both my solo trips and family fishing trips?
Also, side question, does the 2 man XL version fit on most night fishing pegs ok or is it just too big for everything?
Thanks in advance.
P.s please dont recommend other makes/types of bivvies as its taken me ages to decide on the Fox R series XL as I need the head room. Im just looking for advice on the 1/2 man version. Thanks again.

Hi TMUR,
I think the 1 Man may do you, I've not seen a 2-Man in the flesh but judging from the size of the 1-Man it must be humongous! I'd say that the 1-Man is more of a small 2-Man bivvy.
Comes down to how much space you want/need and how frequently it'll be used to fit in the pair of you. The 2-Man will definitely fit the pair of you but do you want to have a giant bivvy every time you go solo, I know I wouldn't.
Hope that helps mate.

Also doubt between some bivvies (also need +160 head room because bad back)
Saw along the canal today the Fox r series 1 man xl camo, it's a very nice bivvy to see but not able to look close because of corona rules
330 x 315 x 185 for solo trips is big to big imo, because my son or daughter also goes fishing sometimes I am looking for a bivvy that is just slightly bigger than the Fox r 1 man xl 1 man but smaller than the 2 man version, hope fox also comes with a porch like Jrc has.
other options that I have (still have 5 days to decide):
-4success Hardshell Panorama2 namiot karpiowy
it is not easy to find a high bivvy that is not + 300cm wide / deep
