Hello Stewey.

Oh poor you, what a BAD start. I have a Pennine Pullman FC. I have to fold the right side in first (as you look from the front of FC) as it is the larger bed 

Hi

If you go onto the Pennine web site, there is a link that show you how to erect your folding camper.

Hope this helps you. 

You should tension the poles so as to allow for the zip(s) to open and close smoothly after the cabin is up and secured to the trailor. When packing away always release tension on all poles (it sometimes helps to untie the canvas from the poles as well).

It will all come with practice, the golden rule is do not force it, if it does not go easily, there will be a reason for it.

Good luck

Our Countryman is a 1997 & folds the opposite way to the newer ones.  So, facing the door, its left bed first, then right.  It sounds like you've done yours the wrong way if you've bent some poles.

it might be worth having a look on youtube, type what your looking for in the search bar, you will be surprised what's on there!

|Poor you, after being so excited you must have been gutted.

Hopefully all these helpful people on here who know so much more than us new guys will have pointed you in the right direction.

Still count yourself lucky - once you've got the hang of the thing you'll be off and towing while I'm still researching...

Hi, Just like Stewey my, Cabanon Venus t.t. gives me problems, when i attach my awning, my cabin doors wont zipp up, the instructions state that the cabin canvas should be as tight as a drum skin, if it is, the door will not zipp up, so i take the tention off, and the door will zipp up.When i attach my awning, the door will not zipp up, because the awning poles, that i put into the cabin,stretches the canvas, i must be doing something wrong, i hope that some one can put me right.
