hi kit
we have a biscaya 500 too,glad to hear you are thrilled with your new tent
with regarding to pitching,it takes around an hour to put the tent up including the inner bedrooms and pegging the outside. i know the instructions say 20 mins and we might be slower than some but 20 mins is impossible
that said it is very easy to put up, just lay the ground sheet in place with the bedroom section at the back,peg down put poles together and lay on top of groundsheet
then zip the canvas onto the groundsheet which can be very fiddly,after that loosley put front porch poles up and crawl inside ,zip the back pole in first then the middle and finally the front which can take a fair amount of brute force. once up you can peg the porch properly and one of you peg the canvas and the other put the bedrooms up
as for a cannopy we have just bought one from camping int. for £89 but we have yet to try it out
we use our tent for weekends and 2 weeks hol as we love the space it gives, on our last trip we had 4 adults and 5 kids sheltering from the rain and we were not crowded
happy hols with your biscaya i would love to see another one out there
