New ones are done slightly different to old ones Val, you dont need to fold the corner in like a book and to put up you peg out 1 end 1st. I need to be able to instruct a total noob with probably zero camping experience nevermind pop ups.

If I have the vid with me I can let them see it.

Lay it down and the sides fold in to form a sort of rounded triangle outline

Then just fold it into a 3 leaf clover shape, then the 3 circles just fold on top of each other...

I managed ours no prob after a look on the quechua site, someone described it as a phallic shape, OH then said "and then fold the balls over". Don't think we'll forget now

Yes, the car is bigger than the 'van.

Turns out, when push comes to shove and the wind has got up and blown my tent on top of the hedge, leaving just 1 guy line intact to stop it disappearing down the street, I can in fact wrestle it to the ground and fold it on my own

And funnily enough, I had the willy and balls analogy in my mind as I set about folding it without the time to check out the video again.

Now I might need some Deltas to reassure myself that can't happen again...

I had the same image in mind!

My plan, as i think i already mentioned, is to delta it down before i open it up and until it is past the willy stage...

Got one of these from Decathlon as an alternative to an awning for our campervan. Its so easy to put up and bring down. The convenience is just brilliant, and theyre well designed to stand up to a bit of rough weather too. The best bit of kit for the money!
