Hi all

We have just purchased an Iowa L tent and tried a dummy run putting the tent up.Having watched the video on Outwells Website, we were both confindent all would be ok. I must admit it was a struggle - does anyone have any tips or experience on the best way to start.

Many Thanks

Paul

We to have just got the Iowa, i found if you peg the four corners down before inserting the poles it keeps the whole lot in place, also this helps when clipping the poles in.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Andy

I never thought of pegging in first and attaching all the pins to the poles while the tent is flat.

Oh and by the way if you are thinking about getting the carpet and footprint i found
