Hello to everyone!!!

We have just brought an Outwell Sun Valley 6 2007 Model and are going to test it out on weekend before our main camping trip in May.  Does anyone know if it has a pitching DVD in the contents of the carry bag???

We hav'nt opened it up yest as there is no room in our house to check, but I heard that some Outwell tents have these DVD's inside. 

Ours didnt, but we didn't need one. Very quick and easy to put up - good tents and much better looking than the 2008 version.

we have a 2007 Sun Valley 8 (excellent choice by the way!) it didn't come with a pitching DVD but you could download video instructions from www.outwell.com at the time.

it could be worth contacting Outwell to see if they can supply you with video instructions for last years model - alternativley just have a look at the video for this years model on outwells website - although it is a slightly different design it goes up in pretty much exactly the same way.

Hi

I don't think Outwel have provided videos/dvds in the past.  However, the SV is really easy to erect.  I would advise that it takes 2 to do it.

1.  Lay it out and make sure door openings are unzipped to allow some air in.

2.  Peg out the back 2 corners.

3.  Working from the back thread the poles through the appropriate coloured sleeves but don't put the ends into the holes.

4.  Starting with the back pole lift the tent and insert the ends into the holes provided and then peg roughly in place.  Work forward until they are all in. Pull out the front of the tent and peg it so that it holds everything up.

5.  Once all the poles are pegged roughly you can pull them forward and make sure that they are all straight before tightening the straps at the bottom.

This is how we used to do ours and it worked well.  You could look at existing videos of Vermonts, new Sun Valleys and similar models of Outwell to give you an idea of what to do.

Good luck and happy camping!
