I found this official Vango video on YouTube showing how to pitch the Icarus and canopy, it also shows how to pack it away - properly!

Fold, fold, fold, roll. That's the way!

I've just done it this evening, my Icarus was drying out for a few days so we did the needful today. After you've got it straightened out into a nice rectangle fold it side to middle on both sides. That means the more delicate polyester is enclosed inside the sturdier groundsheet. I then checked out the bag size and decided to fold it into thirds (again from front to back) - that left me with a long strip which I rolled from the back to all air could be expelled out the front door, using the pole bag in the middle.. I've packed this tent four times since I bought it and todays packing was the best job so far.

The last time when I didn't get it first time I put the whole damn thing in the car rolled up and left the site. I'd provided other campers with quite enough entertainment as it was.
