We were away this week which gave me an opportunity to try out the cable-tie solution to the Outwell Minnesota side door rain hood.  It worked a treat; no stress on the fabric and zipping/unzipping the side door was a breeze.

What a shame that it was necessary to retro-correct something so elementary - as I have moaned several times before, Outwell have either allowed a fundamental design fault to slip through the system or have got a problem with their quality control.

I have included a photo in my gallery to illustrate the cable-ties in action.

Hi Former scout

Did your try and put  the pole for the side door underneath the the main tent

pole,instead of on top,I tried this,and it works a treat.without any cable-ties

The 2008 montana has an alloy pole for the porch - maybe you could get hold of one by ordering it as a part from an Outwell dealer? Should remove the worry about the pole snapping.
