Hi Guys,
We have just purchased the Morpheus 8 after reading the reviews and falling in love with the size and spec. We are well aware that there are problems with the porch fitting and I am interested to know how others have made adaptions to hold the porch in place when the wind picks up. Hopefully this is something we can do too before we take the tent on its maiden voyage. Where do I get the clips from?...How do I sew them in? Thanks

Hi congrats on the new tent we love ours. We got the clips from wingfields where we bought the tent from. We told him about the problems we'd had with the fitting and he gave us some spare clips that had really been for an Outwell tent not sure which one but they were a perfect fit. We just attached them to the top seam of the porch one on either side and then in the middle we attached a metal ring opposite where the middle piece of Velcro is and used a piece of guy rope to tie it on. It's sounds complicated but once you put it up it will all make sense. Next time we go (in July)I will take a pic and try put them on here. Hope the info helps. We realised what we needed to do after the first camp with it so you may have to do that too. But it worked great.

Thank you for the ideas.
I will pop in our local camping store and see what they can supply me with. We are also going in July...and very excited to try our new tent!  Helen
