Hi

i just bought a ROBEN CABIN 300, and there is nowhere to hang a light? (unlike my trusty old £50 ebay tent)

no central hook at all

I'm a bit a gutted because the tent kind of blew the budget a bit.

What can i do to hang a light high if there is no hook or anything?

Hi

there is a few bits that hang the bedroom pods

i might try that

the ROBEN CABIN 300 cost me £259
they could have sewn a piece of fabric in the bedroom pod to hang a light or something in the main pod?
its terrible, i though hey "we'll treat ourselves to a new tent." i wasn't thinking that it would have no hanging hooks!

I just bought 2 KAMPA led UFOs too



they have to hang pointing down or you get blinded when you look at them with LEDS.

(Also I got the KAMPA 'LED normal' and KAMPA 'LED with remote' and the same model with remote is a lot dimmer. weird?)

I try to avoid sitting in the gloom when camping :)

I'll see how i get on

I can post some pic or a review after the hols

I might be able to hang stuff from the window ties.

I put the tent up today in the garden but it was about to rain, so i couldn't try things out.

I'm off on Sunday to France so any ideas on how to hang a central light would be great.

Is there nowhere to fix a spare guyline across the roof? Maybe door toggle to inner tent hook? You wouldn't be able to hang too much weight on it but it should be suitable for an LED lamp.

I might pop into the camping shop and get a couple of guy ropes before i go, and rig something up.

Why not use adhesive Velcro strips. You should then be bale to put the lights where you want.
