We did a trial run up the mountain and so was another camper, just so you know the idea of how to put it up.
Follow the instuctions the first time, go and buy some more pegs ( we did manage 1st time with what is included but got more for comfort - if you know what I mean !!??? )
Lay out inner tent in position wanted and start putting poles in. Lift each pole in turn (one at each end-they do recommend someone inside too to help with the lift).They are all colour coded and their slots are too. Do bedroom poles last.
As said once poles are in peg out the inner and then go inside to check the floor and the bedroom floors.
Close the zips back up, then peg out the rest of the pegs.
Next we get the porch area of fly sheet ( the bit with the windows in )put the poles in and attach the most inner one ( not the outer one!!! )into the metal ring thing. Then pull the rest of fly sheet over the top ( one at each bedroom end- we only have 2 bedrooms one at each side ) . get fly sheet into position and attach to the ring things. Then go round and do all the ties ( we never do the very top one as we can't reach it!! ( how do you tie that one??). We did see someone who had tied all the ties before putting up the inner, but they were all in the wrong place!!
Go round and peg out and you should be done! Time to get the chairs out and have a drink!!!
