Brilliant things: in form, function and... COLOUR!
Try it out for a night or two. As has been said above, the bedroom pods should clip onto the frame and then the roof liner, will go in the living room section (if anything like our Cabanon, one has to do this 'inversely' so so the clip side/seams go towards the ceiling, leaving the smooth side facing the occupants. Fussy maybe for a short stay but it makes the space lighter, cooler (or warmer) and smarter. Ditto the curtains. These may slide onto a plastic 'track' and tie at the ends to stop them falling off, with tie-back tapes for the day.
As I've said ad nauseum, I can put up and strike our 6-berth myself: they were/are a great design. Colour-way is a thing of beauty. Who wants to be in a green/greige/blurrish haze when you can be Terry's chocolate orange.
Scout/guide packs would probably jump at them (it's where our old family Marechal went - my formative camping years were spent in it) but do put it up first. We all want to see it in it's glory.
The rubber peg holders (heat's got to me and I can't rememeber the proper name) may have perished and become sticky but usually there is a D-ring attached by tape, through which one can put new elasticky things as a replacement. Check the guys for wear too, sometimes at the attachment to the fabric, maybe on their length.
Put it up, peg it out, and soak it thoroughly and let it dry. This should sort out any shrinkage as well as checking the waterproofness of the canvas.

Do campers 'peg it'?
