I'm after a quick bit of advice in getting all of our recently purchased Khyam Ontario 8 back in its bag. Best I've managed so far (4 attempts) is the tent, folded into 6 lengthwise and rolled up, the poles, and one of the bedroom pods. However, that still leaves one more bedroom pod lying around. I'm wanting to store it away with winter coming. Anyone help?

the Ontario is the same as our Indiania but with a ground sheet. So in theroy should be similar process.
We fold ours together. we both grab an end by the guy line base. we then swing it one then qucikly go the other way this makes the tent lie in half. We then fold the two ends in to make one big rectangle. Then we fold one end into the centre, then repeat with the other end. Repeat this, folding the end in. We then place the pods folded on top. Finally we place the poles at one end, then OH rolls it, slowly expelling the air as he goes. Then once it's a big sausage we tie the ribbon bits round it and quickly put the bag over it. Ours fits with no poblem. Obvioulsy ours doesn't have the SIG, but we do have the groundsheets from the living area and under th pods to fit in.
Sorry I can't explain it better than that, seems a bit double dutch to me, but it does work. Then only difference is we fold ours sideways not lengthways like you

I have managed to put our Ontario all back in the bag ok but I prefer to have poles kept separate anyway when storing or transporting the tent. This allows a bit more room in the bag too, which makes packing easier.
