Proud new owners of a sun valley 8. Managed to put it up last night with a little help from my 9 year old and a friend(she held on to the front guy). All went very well and  v pleased with the results. However packing it back in to the bag was a different matter. The poles would not fit in the bag eventhough the v nive man from Caseys Otley said they would, has onyone out there managed this if so how!!!! Please help.

The poles on our Sunvalley 8 came in a seperate bag. However when packing up the tent we fold into 3 length ways (front to back) then by 3 again the same way. Roll up the tent tightly one way, roll it back flat and then roll it up tightly the opposite way thus forcing out all of the air. It then fits into the bag easily with room to fit the seperate bag of poles in also.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Mark will give this a go next time we pitch. Great fun tonight rolling around tring to remove the air from our telly tubby hill.
