Hi Kate

We bought the maritsa 500 last year as our 1st tent and have had 2 great holidays so far.  We found it very difficult to pitch on both occasions but it certainly was a little easier the second time around.  Make sure you fully release the tension straps where the pins are inserted into the pole ends, we obviously didnt on our 1st pitch and struggled.

Once the tent is pitched we really like it, we even bought the front enclosed canopy this year which gave us extra room.

Hope all goes well

Hi

Going to study that video closely ( thanks Gareth ) and give it a try next time we pitch our Maritsa.  Looking back at our 2 efforts so far it certainly looks far easier than the vango method!
