Hello everyone, i have just purchased a conway classic trailer tent 2001 model after having to resize my car, (i used to have a caravan). i havent got a clue on how to erect this tent, there are no instructions and there are sooooo many bits and pieces, i have managed the main sleeping area erction but i have a double awning and many other parts that look like inner tents that i havent got a clue where they go can anyone advise me any pictures would be great i could manage to get an idea of it and how long will it take to put up.

thanks

Have you emailed me yet?  I often get emails saying i've seen your posts... please could you send me them but the email addresses are so different from usernames lol.

If you want i have a few pics that the previous owner of our conway classic sent me :)

Ours is up in the garden at the moment as we want to get a few trial runs in before we have to put it up for real lol.  This is the second time and we still made about 5 mistakes :(

It sounds like you have all the extentions and sun canopy like we do but luckily most of the poles are colour coded and all the extensions and poles are in their own named bags which we found extremely helpful.  No wondering what poles are for what part lol.  Our larger awning stays on all the time and then we add the extensions.

I can take some pics of it set up in the garden but we can't peg it out as one side is up against a 6 foot fence and the garden slopes which is a shame as i would have liked to have pegged it all out just to see how long it really takes in all.

Have you looked on you tube as i think there are some video's of people putting up their trailer tents which might help?

3 minutes 25 seconds - I'd have expected them to have the bikes off the car and a cup of tea made in that time as well!!

You'll have several random small bits of fabric with hooks on, these go on the 'ceiling' as another layer. One inside the bedroom area on the ceiling between the rooms(mattress should go inside bed tents) and one or two in the living area.
I think we have the same one as you, put it up the other day took 3 guys over an hour you need more than one person at least for the pole part!

Can't wait to go out for the first time in our Conway Classic Trailer Tent!

If you've put a caravan awning up then putting up the tt is p**s easy in comparison :)

Though ours was all colour coded and in named bags which probably helps no end it still doesn't seem to take very long to put up :) 

We don't look at the instructions but it is nice to have them lol
