We have just tried to pitch our new Vango Amazon 800 what a job the DVD made it look so easy but trust us it isnt, after two hours of huffing and puffing we gave up.  Pitching DVDs are a good idea but some written instructions would also be useful as you dont always have a DVD player to hand in the middle of a field, so we have written our own instructions to pop in the bag and hopefully next time we have a day off we can try pitching again hopefully a bit more successfully.  Anyone with any tips on how to get this beast up (!!!) please let us know .

Congratulations on buying the Amazon . Lovely tent , just a little large to handle initially. The pitching video is good . Have you tried to download the ipod or phone version of it so that you have it handy ? Sometimes in a relatively confined space it is a little harder anyway , you can get in the way of each other . Even though you had to give up , you can now reference the tent , and should be more successful .Could always play with Knex to help reinforce what you need to do , trust me, it works!!

Be seeing you!!

I have an Amazon 600 and the pitching instructions are sewn into the bag. I also did what 'Numbersix' suggested & downloaded the video to my mobile.
