Taking the Monty this weekend with the new awning, Icarus and canopy will get its proper first outing 24th April hopefully

Yey!!

I'm giving mine it's first run soon.

I didn't get the DVD, either, but I looked up the instructions, first and it's very easy to put up lol

Gave it a test pitch (well, it would have been a shame not to) and it went back in to it's bag first time lol

Hope you have a lot of great trips in it :-)

I looked it up on youtube although the instructions are for the 600 it's the same principle (only the bedroom pod is added in afterwards instead of being incorporated). We used what my kids call the 'accordion' method!

One of the things I wanted to be extra careful about was putting extra pressure on the flexi poles over the bedroom pod as it has the extra weight of the inner pod to lift as well. However when I actually did it there was no discernable pressure on those poles.
