Ouch, Did they set up the TT right side up??
I could not imagine setting up for 8 hours, I had a pretty large igloo tent with 3 cabins and more than 25m² floor space, but that still only took 1 hour with full setup, and that on a day which had hit 40°C early and went thru 42° by the time we finished......

Yeah Tom,

No idea what they were doing but the trial run was hilarious!!! I got a call to go and see the new purchase and it was not to have been missed just sorry I hadn't taken the video camera as it would have been ideal for You've been framed!!!!It has never taken us anywhere near that kind of time to set up. 1. open trailer, 2. pop over sides, 3. put up poles, 4. set up awning, 5. peg out, 6. then sit back and enjoy. 1hr max

Did read about a couple on here that took four hours to set up their FC.

"We find it takes us about 2 hours from arriving on site to sitting down with a beer!!! "

The big question has to be, how long till you start the on first beer.

15 mins to put up FC, fridge accessible, beers away - yippee !

apolgies for the intrusion but i disagree strongly when we had our previous TT Before we moved on to a "Caravan" The first thing we did was get the beer out of the cool box as soon as we arrived on site (unless it was raining)  cos we knew it was time for the fun and games to begin......
