Hi, your Outwell tent......seems a big one just like our Vango Sapera Tall Drive away. There is one problem with having a tent instead of a drive away, it is the guy ropes. We get very strange looks when we use our big drive away, and that is when attached to the van.. It becomes as big as another van parked along side us. We also have a smaller drive away, that does not present that problem. So, if you can put the tent up with the ropes, next to the van, at their shortest, and an acute angle, you might just get away with it on some smaller pitches. If you extend over the size of the pitch other campers will complain before the campsite owners. Call then and say tht is what you would like to do, it matters not if its connected or not...we drive away and leave ours erected, I see no difference to be honest. You could park up and erect it at the front of the van across the pitch?
Veema, will answer your query as well here. It is not difficult to mark where your front wheels are when a drive away has been attached. When you return it is just look where your markers are and drive up to them. Even if you got it wrong, you would not be far off/out of line/square on.It would be easily corrected by pulling a few pegs out, or trying to line up again.
