Otter xover pro cabin issue with wind poles and side doors.

Hi I have the new otter xover pro cabin with the side doors and when I put my main top wind pole in the longest one on top I have a very hard time opening and closing my side doors. If it’s in I struggle to zip them closed it makes my fabric to tight and feels like my zippers are going to bust so I leave it out for now. Otter told me it looked good and the fabric will eventually loosen up but I’d like to use my side doors and have the wind pole in. Is there a way I can remove the black end caps and cut my pole down to make it work better. I’ll buy another set of poles if it eventually does loosen up.

I wouldn’t cut it down. Your canvas WILL stretch out. Trust me. I’ve owned a few Otters and they all stretch out. I would just deal with it for another tip or 2 till it does start to stretch and everything will fit perfect after that.
Good luck!

If you can set it up in somewhere warm for a few days to help it streach out.

I agree with Reid, don’t cut the pole, the fabric will stretch. However, and I speak with some experience, my first otter xt pro cabin I installed the fabric too tight and my wind poles we’re always a struggle to put in….it is possible that you installed the fabric a lil too tight making it a bit more difficult to zip doors while the wind poles are in.

I just bought the new x-over Lodge and I made extra sure that I didnt make it as tight as my old one, and I have used it in my garage fully assembled windpoles and all and haven’t had a lick of issue, 100% better than my old otter xt pro lodge.

You may be able to unscrew the fabric mounts on sled and give yourself a lil slack, yes I know you already put holes through fabric, but if in fact it is too tight, it may never stretch as far as it needs to in order to function the way you think it should. Just a thought for you to check, hope it helps!

Maybe loosen the velcro straps on bottom to give yourself some slack until the fabric stretches? My ProXT X-Over cabin side doors work fine with the wind poles in.
