Hi Folks

This is my first post so be gentle. I have just bought a LV5 for the family to go away in, our first trip is this weekend. Starting of with a couple of days here and there and slowly building ourselves up to a longer holiday.

I have pitched the tent and have to say it is a really easy tent to pitch and should cause no probs when we are away. What I don't know is how to use the side door as a canopy. I have two poles, one end has the spikes that I assume go into the eyes on the door to hold it up, but how do you keep the poles and the door up? Should there be additional guy ropes.

All help appreciated.

James

Yes, there should be additional guys which you loop over the spike once its through the eyelet and anchor to the ground.

I thought I must be missing some guy ropes.

Thanks
