I really don't struggle taking it down. I can do it very quickly on y own and even faster if I am with a c driver. Flapping? I have camped in Scotland in the winter and at 01.00 in the morning actually closed it with a ratchet strap found more shelter and set up again. I really did think I was be swept away. Uh Oh, I don't think we're in Kansas anymore. But it took the beating. But it was like trying to sleep in a jet engine. Maybe if I wait a bit longer someone will come up with the perfect solution. I know it will be cheap.
