Can it really be done in 15mins
I reckon it takes me a good 45mins and I opt for a beer [8)]

Or 2 hours if you include removing all the bikes!

I'm going to time myself next time, may not end up looking like a FC.
I get stumped everytime on what bed is first to pull over, even though I know it's the rear. Then my biggest annoying part is the poles that got to the uprights.

Our Combi Camp takes less than five minutes to erect the cabin & attached annex (3 pegs only). If breaking a long journey by staying one night only, the cabin & annex would be amply spacious, although the kitchen unit would be outside. To erect & peg out the awning takes another fifteen minutes.

However, that basic setup is never enough is it? When we've spent just twenty minutes erecting the cabin, annex & awning up, I spend goodness knows how much longer kitting it out, like carrying two chests of plastic drawers from car to annex, box of shoes, toilet, heater, carpet, EHU & lights etc., table & chairs for the awning, curtains, ground sheet and carpet for the awning, plus any other fancy bits I want to put in there   At least the bed is already made up at home before we go away, so if really tired, we could get our heads down fairly soon after arriving on site.

We go on holiday with friend who own a large Outwell Tent

We were fully set-up approx 30 minutes before our friends this year (with the old Cabanon Galaxy there was little in it). Packing up we were fully paked about 1 hour faster

This all includes unloading bikes, setting up tent and awning, setting up furniture inside and kitchen, getting the beds sorted and setting up 2 small tents for sons

The tent and awning are actually the quick bit - I would say it takes 45 minutes to set up - its all the rest that takes the time
