Hi Mattieb

I tried colour codeing my poles but it wasn't very good so instead I put white stickers on the poles and wrote on them,   left roof pole, centre roof pole, front left leg etc...   found this a lot better, I also put the kitchen poles in a seperate bag as I had 2 and got the main bit of frame up first then took the kitchen poles out and attached them so not as many poles to get confused with.  mines a trigano but think the principal would be the same.

Good Luck

Coloured insulation tape. Use a different colour for each junction. Then you just have to put the colours together.

Hi Karende,

When you put the awning poles on after putting up the bedding area, to start the framing for the awning you'll be attaching(you know the other big bit of canvas in the bag and not already attached) you will need some steps I'm 5ft11" and i use a small kitchen step, you can get them very cheap in wilkinsons (robert dyas type shop), plus be very careful that you don't snap the hooks in the end of the poles, I managed this with the very middle one and although I got round it this was a worry when taking it down that Iwould tear the canvas with the sharp edge of where it sheared off, I don't if what I do now is correct, but touch wood I have only broke it once and to be fare the camping supplier repaired it free of charge, just be careful not to pull or put to much pressure on them when erecting the structure, I believe I twist mine to one side once their in as I think it was because I left the hook straight and it bent and broke, best thing is to ask your supplier.

Good luck

Hi

Can anyone send me a good copy of their tent pole diagram for the 350 SE.  I seem to have lost mine.
