Quote: Originally posted by achy on 05/9/2013I've always put on the outside, in fact forgot ours on a recent trip to France, so made some out of available plastic and put on the outside-that worked. HOWEVER, my hubby (who is an ex scout leader) says they should go on the inside-same as autopilot explains.

Any which way-I need 3 new ones 'cus I've lost mine for the Emperor!

Otherwise I think I would have put it on the outside. But for me on our 1st trip we will put it on the inside. I also like the idea of a bit of extra protection when the canvas is pushing against the A frame. But I suppose it wouldn't hurt to get another cap and put it on the outside for extra rain protection. Geoff
