on face book i did try to tell the poster that the skipper has a problem
Am I wrong - this photo shows a sagging roof support and the canvas on the side is not connected to the tie downs and is flapping??

the poster on facebook thinks its fine and when i said "sagging corner" she said its the silwerseil i am referring to. still does not get my point ?
I also do not get your point. The sagging point on the side is not part of the Skipper tent, so obviously they cannot be held responsible. If perhaps it is the side of the main tent, there is a adjustable pole on the inside which should be adjusted so that it keeps the roof in the upright position. If the Skipper people and I are not getting your point, please be more specific.

Hi Fred, what I am seeing is that the trailer lid/roof support pole in the corner above the power inlet box is not "tight" so the caravan roof cannot be properly supported in the fully upright position? and where the canvas at the bottom attached to the body of the skipper is not looped around the little black knobs means the sides are not taut?
That is what I thoughr you probably meant. I think it was just a bit of an oversight by the people erecting the setup. I sometimes initially forget to lower the supporting pole which is not really a problem on our case, but the extra weight of the silver canvas propably is heavier than what the gaslifters on their own can support.
