Hi

Just got a Mk3 Force10, but not sure how the inner connects to the outer.

The very small loop pegs to the floor, but not sure what the small plastic hook (on the flysheet rubber) connects to. Thanks for any suggestions.

Hi the rubber loops on both the fly and inner peg out. The small plastic loops on the fly are for if you wanna put extra pegs in the fly in case the wind is really bad.

Are they still selling those, I got one from 1982/83.

Cannot help though, it's so long since I used it.

The Force 10 is available in one form or other. This is cotton inner and outer and I think that this type isn't available any more.

Hubby and I used to use one of the old cotton canvas Force 10`s...we still have it in fact, in near perfect condition. Great tents.

Yes to all the above comments as to where to peg it down. But it`s best to peg the flysheet and inner seperately if possible. We used to carry this tent split between our two bikes, so carried the full complement of pegs.

kimac..

It's a Mk3 - not sure if it's possible to age from this? It looks like it's never been used when I got it a week or two ago from a friend.

Re. your comment on backpacking and cutting down weight...I may continue to use my Terra Nova still for this as the F10 is 7 times heavier!!

Real men backpack with a F10!!!!

Later, guys!

Congrats on your force 10...... we now use a FCamper but still have our cotton Mark 5 and have many fond memories of camping in it.  We saw one on a site last year in Wolverly and although we were comfy in our FC I couldn't help but feel a bit envious of the owners of the Vango.

Happy camping
