at last we have eventually put up our new tent (2006 Montana) and what a laugh - it took us 20 mins to get the ground sheets in position let alone the next hour getting the tent up - BUT we did it, admitted with help but we did it.

Now this is were the problem is the damn poles are sooooooooooo stuck into each other - in future should we wd40 them or grease them or what???????

any help out there for dummies????????

One method of unsticking poles that I was shown years ago is like this.
You need two people facing each other. With the joint between you, put your left hand on the far side of the joint and your right hand on the nearside of the joint. Your partner does the same so that you are each have one hand holding each pole. Then twist and pull.
