We have a SV 8 and had the same problems at first, even after watching the outwell video couldnt get it right...... but we sorted it out.
once you have all of the poles and pegs out fold the front section (without the groundsheet) back over into the rest of the tent. Try to keep it even. Throw all of the ropes in any way you can.
Make sure that the bottoms of the doors are still open, no need for them to be open all of the way.
Square off the rest of the tent formed by the sewn in ground sheet, then fold into thirds. Folding in from the sides.
What you have left fold in half again along its length. This should then be about the same width as the carry bag.
The important bit here is to then start rolling from the back of the tent (where the two bedrooms hang) and keep it tight. This forces out any air. Have the carry bag ready at the end of the rolling and it should go right on in. Good luck.
Matt - have you had any problems with the ground sheet not sitting down easily against the ground. We are going through Outwell trying to resolve problems, other than that it is a great tent.
