glad you got in with it, the only reason we bought the back poles is that it gives a better seal to the van esp in wind, the roof pole certainly helps keep the roof from pooling water
Hi Rob. We hardly ever use our back poles on the Kampa Fiesta. I know many do, but Carol is good at pegging tightly up against the van. We manage to get away with it without any problems.

Ours is probably because our old girl the roof does slope, so the rear poles just help, as sometimes can't get it as tight as I would like.
I see. I expect your van might be a little like this one:
We may have been lucky that we were on a level hardstanding & this weekend was completely still wind wise. Maybe in more testing conditions there could be some bagging.
Our van is quite a tall that may help with tautness too.

I thought you might appreciate that, Rob. It was just luck that I happened to have it - taking some general photos at Black Horse in Oct. That was before we I realized it was you too.
