I am awaiting the delivery of my tent which we purchased mainly because how impressed we were with the assembly video.

Two questions though...

1, is it really that simple to assemble? Its one of the reasons we went for it, it looks a doddle compared to the vango we nearly bought.

2, They dont actually show them putting it back in the bag afterwards... does it fit easily? My Aldi one is till all over the place in the back of my car cos we couldnt fit it back in the bag.

Fantastic layout of everything though, we plan to use the porch for storage and cook outside.

its fairly easy to put up... you need to loosen the straps for the pins on one side, otherwise you'll struggle to get the pins into the poles.

Have a practise run before using it for the first time.. we did this in the garden (bit of a squeeze mind)

To get it in the bag.. open doors to let air out, and fold it into a long piece, slightly smaller than bag, and then roll, unroll, roll again and you should fit it in, instead of trying to lift it into the bag, put the bag on top and then roll them both over...

have fun............we love ours

hi bonus77 and welcome to the site

yes, it really is a good tent in every way, and easy to put up.when you get it, have a practice run at putting it up ( its even better if there are two of you) and have a good look to check for any problems.

it does go back in the bag, but with a struggle if all the air isnt out of it (it has a SIG so air gets trapped inside) just leave your doors open, whilst rolling. we roll ours twice, it doesnt take long and hey presto.....it fits!

hope you enjoy your new tent........we  ours

Like it... roll tent twice and roll it onto the suitcase itself. Excellent tips.

On another note... how does it perform in windy conditions? My Aldi one virtually snapped! but then again, i probably didnt pitch it correctly.

 we was in keswick last week,it was very windy when pitching but it was not a problem.just make sure she is fully guyed out including the porch.

have you thought about getting the canopy? its very easy to put up and gives you a outdoor cooking and eating space
