Also if you include a rough idea of your location you may find somebody nearby with some experience who would be willing to help.

I can't give specific advise I'm afraid. I would say, on no account go to a site miles from home with all your kit and expect to put it up without any trouble. It will be pouring with rain and blowing a gale.
Try and find a site nearby where you can go and try too put it up.
Have a look at the trailer unit and see if there is a zip at high level and down the sides which the tent could join to. If not it might tie to the trailer unit, with the tent roof passing under the trailer unit.
See if there are any holes high up in the canvas which will allow the tent roof poles to pass through into the trailer unit and join to the trailer roof poles.
Look at the poles you have and see if you can group similar looking ones together.
There will probably be upright legs which have spites in the bottom with a small circular foot.
There will be roof poles which will run from the trailer to the front of the tent. Roof poles may pass through a hole and join to a trailer roof pole or might have a rubber end allowing them to rest against the trailer. There maybe a sleeve in the tent roof allowing the roof poles to slide into.
There will be roof edge poles which run across the front of the tent and maybe similar poles which run from the front ones up each site of the tent.
There will be small parts with several short tubes joined together. These will be used wherever poles join together.
By identifying all these poles lay them out on the ground where you think they will go.
Then you have 2 choices to put the tent up.
Either Join the tent canvas to the trailer unit and then build the pole framework under it.
OR Assemble the pole framework and then pull the canvas over it.
The canvas maybe in several pieces such as roof, sides, ends etc.
Good luck.
If still not sure, try and see if there is a trailer tent dealer nearby and see if there is anything similar there which might give you the general idea how they go together.
