Hiya,

Has anyon else experienced this with their Outwell Monty? Last time I used it, I noticed the elastic ontop of the bedroom inners is stretched so much it looks like the seams are about to go on the top of the bedroom pods..... I was thinking of making elastic extensions.

Dont think i'm doing a good job of explaining this! Hope someone knows what i'm on about. Its only at the front and we were pitched on nice level ground. Just wondering if there was something I can buy really instead of doing a home made botch job!

Hi

The top of the inners have adjustable straps don't they (3 or 5 I can't quiet remember) and we have loosened ours off as they did look like they were pulling on the seams.  I do hang a lanter and coat hangers from them as well and this could have been part of my problem.  There are elastic ones down the sides and I have found moving the tent legs in helps to ease the tension on these or I tighten the adjustable strap at the botton of the inners to pull the botton out if you know what I mean.

Hope this helps.

I think there's 3? Definately one in the middle at the top which was loosened as much as I could but even that looked stressed!
