Hi. Hope all goes well for you.
I bought 2 storm straps when we got our Solena last year. one for the cabin and one for the awning, plus some padded sleeves to keep them from rubbing the canvas.
Haven't had to use them yet though.

Hi Ian
I'm hoping not to have to use the storm strap- but if we go without one you can guarantee it will blow a gale.
Didn't think of getting one for the cabin aswell.

Got back from Devon yesterday and cut our onward trip short as we had a very wet pack up for first time! Was cold but ok in bed and inside with heaters on. We continue to learn new things as never camped this early before. Hope everyone stays safe and warm. We are drying out on drive today!

Well, we had a fantastic 4 days in Cornwall (Veryan C&CC Club site) and the only really bad day was Monday.
An electric heater, electric blanket and plenty of warm clothes meant that we were very snug at night and the days weren't too cold (not really anyway).
Luckily we had planned on a visit to the Eden Project on Monday so a lot of the time was spent inside anyway.
The main thing is, Mrs Jimbo had a good time, even though she really wasn't looking forward to it, so Easter camping will be on the cards for next year too.
And we had a dry pack up this morning as a billy bonus!
