Hi all

Be gentle im new to all this camping lark.

Just bought a Rage alto 6 DX for £99 on ebay, although theres only two of us and a

golden retriever going to use it we wanted as much living space as poss.

Any tips on erecting a tunnel tent most welcome as instructions quite vague for a

newbie thanx ebby

hello .yes its like the suncamp vario. you should push your poles through the sleeves (could be colour coded) and then some one has to get in side and push the poles up while someone on the outside puts them into the ring and pin system. most tents are like this so some one should be able to help

Have a look at this thread.

Mine went up fairly easy, but one or two of the poles may be tight until the material loosens up a bit. This is normal apparently. I'm chuffed with mine.

Many thanks

Should the bottom of the pole have a hole in it for the pin to go through? Can't see any way of attaching it?

Thanks for all your help

Alan

This isn't a Rage idea, it's a standard tenting method, and is secure, safe and easy. Saves another peg, and makes sure you don't put it in the wrong place.

Not sure what your problem is?
