That's a problem with the Expedition. You REALLY need to have those lines tight. The Safari has the tarp separated. I removed the standard lines front and back and replaced them with heavy shock cords from MEC. I put climbing-style hooks on the end of all the lines so I can loop them around things or hook them to branches. Because the tarp is separate it stays tensioned.
Just as an aside; I find the tarp is large enough to put everything including my bike under it when it rains.
The big tarp really adds to bulk and weight, but since I'm on a bike and comfort is everything, It's worth it.
