Hi Guys,
I am a camping novice. When i set up my outwell oregan 5 it seems as if the sides have not come doen enough to peg them down. i have assumed that the tention straps are pre set by outwell to give the best set up. I feel that the tent poles need to come in more to help the sides of the tent come closer to the ground.
Please help.
Thanks Marco

The tension straps should be fully loosened off when you're pinning in the poles, tightened up about half way when pegging out and then adjusted as necessary...temperature, wind, lay of land etc can all make it necessary to tweak the poles a bit. There is no optimum setting...that will just be the way they were when packed.
