I use delta pegs on mine and so far no problem however if the wind really got up I would probably take it down to be on the safe side.

The porch is a god send,especially when its like this.

However it can sway in the wind so a couple of extra guys on the front ,tied to the existing points but pegged at right angles.

(not the clearest picture I know but it makes a BIG difference)

As for pitching,the more space the better.

And you certainly wont get claustrophobic in it.

Blimey  How big was that pitch ??


 It was right in a corner where supposedly 2 caravans would go but if one went across the front of the other there would be no car access,anyway it was really quiet so we just spread out ,sloooooowly .

 One thing I do is always check the prevailing wind direction & try to get at least side on,we do a lot of sea fishing so most of our camping is near the coast,better safe than a good view.
