Cheers,

I also have a Double Rainbow with an Exped UL. mine weighs 1.1kgs all up, once I did away with storage bag etc. Great lightweight tent! Had it in all kinds of weather. I did a lot of research before buying and have not been disappointed. for me its the best compromise between, weight, space, and strength. Double vestibules work well. If your willing to use one vestibule completely as storage you can easily store a couple of packs and keep them dry. have done it many times.

Just measured the width of it and it is approx 120cm but the sides are another 110cm each. so like shearer said I would have thought you'd be able to fit two side by side. The biggest problem is the slippery floor. You have to be careful that you pitch it on flat ground else the modern mats slide around on the silnylon.
