Hello, I'm hoping that one of the Holtkamper Flyer owners here can help us out!

We've just bought a Flyer from BCC (tips hat to Chris - what a fine chap), and have come away for our first weekend away. We have a minor problem putting up the underbed tent though. We didn't ask for a demo at the showroom and I can for the life of me see where it should clip on to.

I've done a temporary fix, but if anyone knows how it's supposed to attach - ie where do the clips clip on to - then I'd be really grateful for advice.

Thanks. James.

I'm sure a quick phonecall or text to chris at Black Country will sort you out better to ask than potentially damage something .

Thanks. I've had an email from Chris explaining, but I'm not sure that I'm doing it right! I'll see if I can upload some photos...

Hi JimpyBass,

Did you find out the answer to your problem?
I just used the "four sided" clips, not sure if that is correct, but it works, and doesn't/ didn't seem to cause any damage.

Hope your are enjoying your flyer, we have been really pleased with ours, going away to Norfolk for two weeks next week so really excited.
We are looking to get the bunk bed system from Chris, probably next year.

Chris has checked with Holtcamper and the advice is to clip the tent onto the aluminium rails that the bedroom canvas sits in. I'm not entirely convinced that this is right because the length of the bungee means that the tent is pulled up the side, rather than hanging down.

Which are the "four-sided" clips? On our tent there are just circular pole clips on bungees. I did spot some "S" shaped clips in a bag but wasn't sure if these were the right things.

We've had a weekend away in the Flyer so far but a fortnight in Weymouth booked for a bit later in the hols where we can really put it to good use.

There is a green bag quite thin, which the clips for the back wall of the tent were. Inside this bag are a few bunge looking items with 4 clips on them. I clipped one end to the trailer tent rail and the other end to the loop on the top of the underbed tent. I was just looking to seeif I could find them, but I cant at the moment. I am packing the trailer tomorrow, so if i find them i will try to post a picture

Pictures would be great. The tent's away in storage until holiday so if I know what I'm looking for that would be really great! Thanks!

Hi JimpyBase, sorry not to get back to you sooner, but have just come back form two weeks in the tent. Hope the pictures make sense, but it shows how we connected it to the trailer tent and it works for us. the bits are in a green flat bag.

Have you decided to use the ground sheet or not. We did for the first few times and now we do without. Its very good, its just with the space it gives its easier not to have the ground sheet. If you do this remember the "mudflaps" and let me know how you got on fitting them. (Or more accuratley which bit goes where!)

Speaking of space, if you want a very large area, remember that the you can put the door sheet, for want of a better description, onto the front of the awning.


Regards

X-ray

Hi X-Ray, thanks for that. No such four way clips in our green bag :-( but plenty of white hooks so I've cobbled together pretty much the same arrangement. I'd take a photo but I can't work out how to post one on here from a smartphone.

We are using the groundsheet - on site for 2 weeks so it seemed worth it bit if we head away for a weekend we probably won't bother unles it's particularly wet or windy. We've just weathered Bertha on the Weymouth Coast and the sun canopy lasted through the night but a few of the elastics pinged in the morning so we took it off. The other option was to put the door panel on the front but losing elastics put pay to that, and the fact we're on pretty uneven ground. Still, we're still standing and a lot of the flimsier done tents didn't make it through the night.

If I do out the mudflaps on I'll take some photos and work out how to upload them!

Thanks again for the help. James.

Are the white hooks the ones you use on the guyropes? we had a whole bag of them, and some more in the Adventure tent "peg" set. We have three green bags, two full of pegs and one which is flat, its the flat one that has the red clips in and also the elastics with the "c" clip on them.

We had wind last year in the peak district, lots of tents failed, but we were ok. I reduced the size of the sun canopy, by ziping out the side panels, I also put extra guys up.

This year Norfolk, three guys only. No leaks, i also used all the poles for the first time, having both the back, both sides and both triangular pieces open.
Really enjoying our tent.
