Have pitched the tent a few times now and still have this problem, there seems like there is too much tension on the left hand (looking at the bedroom) side of the pod.

Only solution i have is to unhook a few elastic toggles, other wise it feels like im going to damage something, the zip is under stress and everything looks too taught. The other side is fine!

Anyone had similar problems and if so found a solution?

Cheers me dears

I have a windfield, we have had a similar problem.

Do you always peg out your guys?

This was the problem we had, the tent would be pegged out entirely (including the guys) then we would go inside to put the bedrooms in and they wouldn't all toggle up or would be under too much tension, we found if you put the bedrooms in then pegged out the guys the problem resolved itself.

Hope this helps.

That makes sense i guess, the bedroom is always last to be done, by which time there are about 50 pegs hammered into the ground.

I'll give that a try, cheers!

I had the same problem the first time I erected my 500, but it was caused by not having the bedroom pod aligned correctly with the main unit.
