Hi Liz,

Have to say we found it very easy - especially compared with our outgoing Vango Colordao which was, to coin a phrase, a right pig to put up!

Tips from my first effort are:

1. Follow the video - an easily missed step is to slightly open the zips on the front and back doors - this lets some air in and makes the whole thing easier.

2. When putting the poles on the pins, slide the tent over the arched poles too far towards the pin you're trying to get it onto and then back the other way to put the pin the other side on, then get the tent back in the middle of the arched pole (sounds complicated, but you'll see what I mean when ou have a go!)

3. Don't argue!

Liz, as Peter said open the doors front & back to get it up but if its the first time out of the bag open it right up & get inside just to get the air into the sleeping pods as well or it can be a pig first go. ENJOY.
