We've had no major problems putting up / taking down our Diablo. The pitching DVD certainly helped before the first attempt and after that it's just a matter of taking your time.

Was a bit of an issue last weekend with all the wind and rain.Taking it down involved hauling off the outer and stuffing it in the car before it became a parachute / hang glider and then knocking down the inner as fast as possible. Certainly gets the blood rushing to your cheeks!

Just ordered one of these   Not really bothered which year's model it is or whether there are one or two poles in the bedrooms - after all you're mostly laying down in there aren't you?   We just need a bigger tent for the least amount of money so this is absolutely ideal!

We bought ours for £150 a few years ago, it was the end of season and they changed it slightly just after with the side porch door, for the money we had a fab deal! although I would have liked a slide door!

Weve used it many times in some very bad weather. Tyour time putting it up you don't forget to tie the outer to the inner like my husband did.

Taking down we leave one side pegged in just incase it's windy.

Hi, we paid £195 for ours last october from Go Outdoors. Brilliant tent at a really good price...masses of room and not bad to put up when you get the knack. My wife and I had never put a tent up before...but with a lot of laughs and quite a bit of swearing...from me, we did ok. Now takes us 40mins.

By the way...we got the Diablo 600 but they gave us the XP poles...so we have two spare...maybe get a flag for them?

Does anyone know if there is a diffrence in the pitching footprint (area the tents take up) between the 600 and 600XP
