I've made it a fine art being able to roll tents back into their bags on the landing (sometimes using the stairs!). Basically use the stairs to pull the tent into a long shape about the width of the bag and roll it on the landing pulling it up the stairs as you go (a helper is good here). Kneel on it to get the air out as you roll and this works for anything from a tiny mountain tent to the 5m bell.

We used the shower rail to do our awning once when we had a campervan. Spread right over the bathroom, with heat on, it was nearly dry over night, but certainly done and ready to fold up in there also. Was a bit of a job using the loo but got by.

Had strip washers at the kitchen sink instead of using bathroom and moving the awning. About 48 hours it took moving it around. But it continued to rain  for about 3 weeks and that length of time we would of lost the awning to mildew, just for 48 hours max it was worth doing and not having to buy another £500 awning

We live in sheltered acc.bungalow, very very small.We have also folded an awning over our beds, first covering them with an old double sheet. That gives us a 6ft wide x 6.6ft long folding space.As we have 2  single beds always pushed together.
