i have been given a large tent i have unpacked the tent and there is 2 sleeping cabin on each sides with living area in the middle.
there are fiberglass poles black and gray plastic poles they are not colour coded.
the sleeping cabin looks like 4 person in each cabin.

i have been told to put the outer tent up first.
i like to ask if there is an easy way or some tricks to put up this tent.
i cant tell you the name of this tent as there is no instruction to this tent.
i have build up a 2 berth tunnel tent up before myself but this tent is quite larger and has a different shape to it.

Thank you

Do you know what shape the tent is supposed to be when it's put up and is there a similar tent with a picture on the internet?  How many poles does it have and are they all the same length?

But you still havent given anyone a clue to the manufacturer or the model !

There must be something on the tent or the bag that tells you what it is?
