We have just bought a Gelert Quick Pitch Quest.  As with all pop-ups, its great to get up but we can't get it down.  We have looked at how to put them down on you tube and that is fine but when you do follow the examples, the tent is still too big to get back into the bag.  The tent instructions indicate an additional step but are so confusing that we can't understand what its about and just cannot get this tent down.  If anyone has one of these, I would really appreciate some advice.

Hi, and welcome to the forum!

Are the instructions in diagram form, is so can you scan them (or take a picture with a phone) and post the instructions on here?

Might give us an idea how to help you a little.

I cant find a demo on youtube of that specific model unfortunately?

Its possible the Quest folds away a little differently to the Gelert SS tents due to the front porch. Principal may well be the same though.
