Hope you get on ok! once you get your poles colour coded,draw a small "map" that you can put in the car so it's easy to get to when you need it! also make sure your step is easy to get to as I always found I need a bit extra height when putting the poles up nearest the trailer tent as well as zipping the last little bit of awning onto the trailer tent.

As you stand looking at the trailer tent remember the door entrance is to the left so that will give you a bit of a clue when it comes to laying your poles out.

Good luck!

Thanks all ,finally got tent up in 2 hours it's now fully colour coded and it didn't leak what a laugh though

Can't wait to go again

Thinking of cornwall any nice sites with v clean facilities

Thanks for all your support and helpful advice ,even though it rained through night it was sunny in day

Now what did bug me a little is you can't pitch with Caravan's why's that!! You have to go on the farest field away from everything and thread your electric lead through bushes is this the same through out sites in england??

I find it a bit of a pain A trailer tent is as big as a caravan if not bigger love your responses

Janie,

 

If any of your poles were lacking in "springs", let me know and I can give you my hints and tips to replace them.

Glad I found this thread as I was going to ask about putting up the awning on my newly aquired Sumpcamp 350, which we hope to try next week.  Have had the main sleeping section up with the help of my sister in law, and that wasn't a problem - but was wondering about things like zipping the awning on then folding it over the main frame, or putting on the frame first then zipping onto the awnings.  Going to print this page off and put it with instructions.
Apart from anything else some of the replies maked me smile.

Hi,

I can't tell you how relieved I was to see that maybe its not us being daft but others find it difficult to put up the 400SE awning.   I loved the instructions that included the swearbox.  I would add that you need a good divorce solicitor present !

Anyway, we've finally got down from 5 hours and a lot of help from a very kind fellow camper to 2.5 hours with help from a friend so getting better.   BUT now we've lost the instructions - I think it was deliberate myself !   I see that some of you have the ability to sent them though via email and wondered if one of you would be kind enough to let us have a copy please ?  

With many thanks for a smashing message board

Hi Mr Keef,

I've sent you an email after your kind offer on this message board of sending instructions for the charming 400 SE.  

 

Thanks a million !

I dont think Mr Keef will have what you need (been there already) as his TT is a 400 with an hexaganal awning. I have copies of the instructions, but I dont have the pole diagram.

If you want a copy of the instructions mail me at paulvshaw at gmail.com

Thanks

Paul.
