Congratulations on your purchase of what I believe is an excellent VFM tent.
Of course, it ain't perfect, but I seriously doubt any tent is/would be!!
For pitching, follow THIS VIDEO.
It's for the lighter polyester version, but it still works for the heavier polycotton.
I even managed it On my own........ and be assured, I can do it a lot quicker, now I know what I'm doing!
I would say,inc the footprint, a good hour/hour 10mins from opening the boot to having it up, straightened, and fully guyed out.... on your own
40mins for two adults.... at a comfortable/steady pace!!
Heavy, bulky.... but well the the effort!
Enjoy..... we do!

Hi we have the filey classic yet to pitch ,will do next week.
It is a big bugger takes up room in our trailer and we do not have the Vestibule we followed mucker suggestion and have seperate it as much as posssible to reduce weight .
we will take a small electric heater either oil fillled or fan heater type too.
We got the carpet and are using a ground sheet as footprint.we also have 20 rock pegs to use
has anyone fabseale the guysas this would help with drying, found that with other tents they took longest to dry?
do not over fill roofboxwith heavy items .
we are looking forward to happy camping times with our new tent
When you come to buying your trailer always get the biggest you can store/afford
