The annex was given to us and is not the standard for the Viscount. Half the white section should be on the ground. But as it wasn't raining it kept most of the wind out. The last time we camped we used the tent so it had been a while since we had put the annex up. Because we leave the ropes and pegs for the tent in the van I was able to use the guy ropes and stays from tent to stabalise the annex. A major plus when you are using non standard parts is the knowledge of knots, this is where the cubs and scouts movement comes in handy. We have put a holder on the side of the van to hold the centre support bar. The holder is 30mm in diameter, whilst the support bar is 10mm in diameter, so it's not what you would call a tight fit! so when the wind started to gust and moved the annex up and down, the support started to bang against the van...unfortunately this was at 2 in the morning. A scrunched up chux super wipe solved the immediate problem. I then sat and half designed a solution for the problem...so it will be coming soon.
