Maggiolina owners, how do you close your tent?

How do you close your Maggiolina RTT? Do you leave the screens and door flaps zipped down, or partial way down, or do you leave them in the rolled up position? Just curious... Thanks !

I zip the windows closed and zip the door opening flap down about 2/3 of the way. I can leave the door screen rolled up - it just makes it easier to stuff everything in once you crank the lid down to about six inches from the bottom.

I do the same. I have seen pics of a bungee strap that goes all the way around keeping a constant pull inward as you crank it down. I've thought of doing this, esp. in windy conditions.

The triangular windows at the ends I leave about 1/3 of the way down.
The two big doors and skeeter netting I unzip all the way and fold them in.
The latter is the way Mike from AutoHome told me to do it.

I tried it before with the windows zipped, and it kept to much air inside forcing the doors to billow outwards.
