I took a punt and bought the Tampa 6 extension to work with my Tampa 4.

Please can any one advise if I'm gonna be ok with the setup if I pitch it like the pics?

Thanks in advance

Itll be fine but I'd let a tarp clip and peg out the middle bit of the end so it doesnt flap in the wind too much.

at Mitchamitri - thank you for the advice, tarp clips sound great for some of the other bits so will look at that.

Do you think I would I be better off shortening that flap so it doesnt hang over so much?

Thanks

no the length of its fine, just peg it a bit closer to the tent so the wind cant get under it as much
