Don't have one yet but planning to go see one this weekend. What info are you looking for?
Thanks for getting back.
I have probably answered 99% of the questions with the aid of a few phone calls and youtube videos.
The only one I have left is how is the bedroom annex connected at the bottom where it joins to the main awning does the zip go all the way around or is there an unconnected gap if that makes sense
The inner tent has the ground sheet not the annex. The inner tent is connected to the annex by plastic toggles and loops and I have had no trouble putting it up or moving the annex and connector section to different panels to reconfigure, however..... I bought this from Glossops at the C&M show in March after doing online research and seeing it in the 'flesh'. What I didn't see before I bought it was the packed down size. I have a Faros II poled which I originally bought for a Caddy conversion, then used on the T6 but with a couple of bags and table in it etc it soon becomes 'crowded' hence going for the bigger Versos. The Versos weighs around 30 kilos but feels heavier, and is at least four times the packed size of the Faros. This is no doubt due to the materials it is made from and the air system. In construction its far superior to the Faros, it has more heavy duty zips than you can wave a stick at, and is endlessly configurable, I really like the fact you can unzip the windows but leave the fly nets in place. It has cost me a small fortune though, I ended up buying a trailer to put it in as it took up so much space in the van and isn't the sort of thing you can just fling out of the way or step over, and of course that meant having to have a tow bar fitted. So while I got a good discount for buying it at the show I've spent another £2500 of a tow bar and trailer.
So my advice would be make sure you see it packed down in the bag and try lifting it first, and be aware that after it has been used it don't pack down quite as small. It is easy to put up though, probably quicker that the Faros after a couple of goes.

Thats everything in the bag, it came with the pump in there too, but I haven't been able to fit it back in, it probably would but I don't want to break it. As I got it from the show, they threw in a protective ground sheet and a carpet, which now live in the trailer... Most of our trips have been to France for 3 weeks or more so the trailer is pretty handy. I have a Debus awning for overnight stops, and the Versos is used if we are staying in one area for a while.
