Used ours for the first time for two weeks in Cornwall and they are excellent , basically to take down just a reverse of the put up , leave the curtains in place to save time for next time an the colour coding is the way to go, enjoy

The more i read, the more i want another 400SE...

Good idea with the colour coding, as i remember it, the first time we got half way through putting it up i got called out to a job so the wife finished it off, in the rain too.. She's a star...

Was also going to suggest leaving the curtains in place.

Hello All Again....Packed the TT away today 1st time, Colour coded all the poles with Different colour insulation tape, 6 rolls for a £1 from poundland, bargin. This should be better when we put it up next time. Suprised how easy it was to pack away (no wind though) my wife and i followed the advise from the guy at the camping shop, step by step and it was a doddle. Plan to get away Thurs for a few nights to give it a go, weather permitting, will let you know how we get on..................any info let me know

 Hi have only put ours up once, taking it down we were caught by a gust of wind on high ground so we replaced all the poles this year.  We are due to go to Devon on Saturday with non colour coded poles and a whole year since we put it up last... Can't wait!!!!!! As long as we remember something from last years outing?? Don't forget to thread poles at each join etc I just hope we have got it up before hubby and his friend go off to watch the City and Utd match at 1.30 (doomed already they are city fans .. on the bright side all the kids are reds!)  wish us luck. Will be happy when all is up and we are sat outside our tent with a galss of something to put us in the holiday spirit?  What advice did the guy from the camping shop give you?

Top tip in my opinion is to bag the poles in to the 3 seperate bags .Kitchen in 1 rear section in another and the front in the other bag .
