Just a quick question about this tent. The TBS systems looks like it would be a complete pain and obstructs a good portion of the tent. Do you need to use this all the time or only in extreme winds. Or does it not really get in the way?

Hi scamp
I have the little vango omega 350 tent and its fitted with the TBS straps inside.
They just clip in and out and I had them wrapped up in the daytime but we were told by the site owners 1 evening that a bad storm was coming and it arrived promptly at 4am!. Fortunately I had connected the Tbs and it does work, stops the tent from flexing tooooo much in case it snapped the poles, but yes it did get in the way climbing in and out of the bedroom. But then the omega is only a small tent.
It's a useful concept but I wouldn't like to be camping for a whole week of windy weather and have to work/live around those straps.
