 Hi All.

Im fairly new to this camping lark but loving it. I have just bought a second hand Sunncamp omega xl tent from my brother in law. Unfortunately it has no instructions for "puttin it up". Bit scared im going to look areal prat at some camp site wrapped in lots of tent folds and guides. Can anyone offer any suggestions. Have tried looking on sunncamp web site to no avail has anyone got the same tent that they could e mail instructions to me.

 Thanx Rich.

Have just been in contact with them i didnt realise that sunnflair were the same company. They are looking in their older files to see if they can find instructions,

Thank you for that.

If you look on the flysheet you should see two red sleeves in a criss cross, your poles should be colour coded which you thread through. Then on your bedroom pods they should be blue sleeve to put the blue poles through. make sure the ventalation thingy is fastened to stop rain coming in then it's a case of putting the red poles up first to make your dome then insert into the d rings then put your blue poles up to form your bedroom pods same procedure. then peg out. Also there should be some green coded poles for the door 

If you want more advice I'll try and answer you questions

 Hi Groovy Chick.

What a life saver. Didnt think anyone out there had the same tent. actually mine is the  xl and yours the xp not sure what the difference is. Can you stand up in yours ???. Someone else said poles were colour coded. thanks for your help may take you up on offer for more answers if i get stuck.

Just realised im more stupid than i thought. Whats the fly sheet !!!!!.

Hi Beech

Yes I can stand up in mine, I'm assuming the xl is a dome tent, like mine. I would imagine it will be the same procedure, Just follow the colour coded system on your poles and flysheet. Basically the two longest poles  to form a cross then your bedroom poles should be smaller and thread through where your bedroom pods are.

When threading poles be careful of the material bunching up

Yes its a dome tent, still not sure what the fly thingy is though.

The flysheet(main tent) is erected first then you put the inner pods inside the tent but there again some tents you pitch inner tent first the flysheet second oooh it can be a bit confusing at first. Yours is definately flysheet first

Yea that makes sense to me now. Thanx

 Hi all.

Good news have been in touch with sunflair and they have looked in their archives and have sent me instructions for my omega xl. Thanks for advise everyone. 

I had an Omega XL which got stolen from my shed - they forget the poles though so some justice there !

Replaced it with an XP and there isn't much difference.    Be careful flexing the poles as they do take a bit of effort and make sure they don't become separated when pushing through the sleeves.   Also note - push not pull the poles.

It's a great tent - tons of space.

 Hi Dave.

Thanx 4 that glad to hear that the tent is ok, have heard from my brother in law that it takes a bit of practice to put up and was a three man job. How did you find it?. I am planning on practicing before main hols, we are camping out for a weekend whit week so that will be the test. Is it really that spaceous, the picture does not look that big, hope it decieving. There are 4 of us
