Hi, I'm new to these boards and new to my tent! I've been camping a fair bit before, but I've just bought a new tunnel tent (four man, cheap one off ebay) and it didn't come with instructions! I think I'm putting it up right, but as we don't have a very large garden/living room, it's hard to say!

Anyone got any general tips for putting up tunnel tents, things I should check for/ avoid while putting it up?

Ta!

Do you have a playing field or field nearby that you can put the tent up on for practice. We practiced on the village field (did ask permission just in case they thought we were pitching for real).

Hi, does your tent have a name?  There are a few ebay tent owners on here and I'm sure they could give you more specific advice.

If you can't find a name maybe you can take a picture and put it on here, someone will recognise .
