We have sold our tourer (cos we've nowhere to keep it at our new house) and we have bought a tent! Its a Cabanon Antigua. We havent used it yet, we are hoping to use it next weekend. We have put the tent up in our garden so we know how it works, but we are stuck with the bedrooms. We have loads of poles left over. Do we need to build another frame inside the tent for the bedrooms to clip on to? Or do they just clip onto the main frame of the tent? The lady we bought it off said there was a sun canopy with the tent so maybe some of these poles are for that? We have no idea. Any help would be appreciated.... thanks!!

you may have a straight pole with string on it that throws a few people, pole 31 on the plan, that one is a wardrobe pole that hans between the bedroom pods

did you fit all the poles on the kitchen bump out it should take two clip on curved poles and one spreader pole

the plan below is for my cabanon Athena which is a slightly bigger tent than yours but the pole layout will be similar but your kitchen bump out is on the other side

the front canopy will be a canvas sheet with ties on the back and pole pockets on the underside

it should consist of two spring linked poles with a spike on the top corner they should fit to an apex pole and then you have two sections one with a hook that pushes against the tent frame and a spreader pole that joins to the poles at the front of the canopy and take out the slack in the canopy

Andora sun canopy

that suncanopy should be the same as the one with your tent as i think they fit either the andorra or the antuiga
