Hi all, just bought an ex demo outwell hawaii reef, for a bargain price! we where told this is ex demo and needs cleaning. Part erected in my small garden which it swamps not pegged or guyed! The colour has faded drastically its now oatmeal rather than orange other than the door! which must of been rolled up for acess when being demo. We were told been outside for 5 weeks. Now dare I say we pressure hosed the tent and grandsheets they were well pitted. I have not used any cleaning fluid on it or reproofed it. Think this is the next step but dont think we have the weather on our side being late september. Any advice please its appreciated? Also we have watched the pitching video and I'll be honest we did struggle lifting this up at the front once all poles were in. Does anyone have any tips for easyness? especially packing this away cant seem to find a video of this been dismantled.

I cant thank you enough for your knowledge on this, being a women I have been getting slightly upset that I cant manage this, my partner isnt that good with manual labour lol. I have appealed to my work colleague helen a women lol for help taking this down tonight. With regards the cleaning and reproofing as it was ex demo do you think I should put away and doe this next year early season? I did buy the Nikwax tech wash ready to use but I was only going to use it on the stubburn stains, but I have read this could end up patchy and you should do all the panel.
Also with reproofing do you paint spray everything and do you do it inside as well? I feel im also there getting this tent up to spec and it was a bargain and Im sure I will love in when we take this on its first outing.
