Hi, we've just bought a Conway Oxford, with literally everything thrown in! Gave it a trial put up today, bit of a faf first time, but easier than we expected! We haven't tried the awning yet, but as Paulyk74 has said, we think we will probably just use the first part of the awning for weekend breaks, and take everything for longer stays.
Can't wait for our first weekend away :)
Found folding it all back down the hardest part :o
Any tips or pointers from you experienced peeps will be much appreciated
Don't have the Oxford, but it looks huge, with that your never going to get it to be super quick.
Make sure next time you erect, all the poles are colour coded with electrical tape and when you fully extend all the poles, mark them with a perm marker, that way next time you'll know where to extend to.
Sort your awning and poles into seperate bags and number them in order you will need them So bag 1 Bag 2 and so forth.
I have all my guy ropes with carabiners on the ends, that way I can hook them on and off really quickly, this stops them geting in the way, and if they are wet (they take longer to dry than canvas), I can remove them and store them seperately.
Have a plan, make everyone have their own little job, our kids build all the furniture whilst I put up and peg out. Definitley pack your sense of humour, helps massively and wine, def wine

As a child my families menu consisted of two choices: take it or leave it.
