Well we've got our new (to us) Olympe. :) Got it up in the garden fine. However we did struggle a bit packing away. Mainly because the beds didn't sit flat. I'm not sure if I've overpacked the trailer (I did get carried away a little with the space). Do you have a rule of thumb for packing height? ITs a 2015 model I think - the bench seats don't go all the way to the end of the trailer, which I think is the current design. The benches sit a couple of inches below the white trailer body. I'd packed up to the height the trailer body, as there was then several inches to the post thingy that the beds sit on when they are folded over. We have just about got it closed over, but I'm going to have another go at the weekend. Should I just be packing to the height of the benches? Any help greatly appreciated - there was a lot of huffing and puffing last night to get it closed!

Thanks for the speedy reply! I think I've misjudged the amount of fabric that needs to be accomadated as well. Do you pack stuff on top? We have the luggage rack for the bikes but there does seem to be a lot of room between the top of the beds and the luggage rack. Thanks again

Yes we pile stuff, like groundsheets, broom, folding chairs etc. on top. There's a lot of room there.

We pack to the height of the benches too. On the folded top, we have added a canoe/sunloungers/groundsheet various times.
