How long does it normally take you to put up your trailer tent on site my neighbour reakons it takes them 1/2 hour all up including inner tents the lot??????????????????

how about u lot

It's not a race! Put it up too quickly and you spend the rest of the time away just readjusting things - canvas - velcro - frame.  We do all however have our 'jobs', I'm initial outside with OH and then inside.  Offspring are water carriers and if necessary air bed fillers and bungee elastic securers.  If we are awninging or suncanopying we may be needed, otherwise OH does the rest. 

What's the worst bit for everyone?  For me it's getting the zips started on the awning sides etc. - They are either never at the right end or impossible to thread first time.

For OH it's getting the awning canvas straight - also impossible to get tright first time.

At least 21/2 hrs for me to put up my Raclet Hex..Well not put it up...but to get everything in place and working...worst bit is zips between main unit and awning (zips from the top down) To save packing step ladders I hoist my son on to my shoulders and he fiddles with the zip while I put my back outMust qualify the time it takes by saying I do all of it myself apart from the zip...
