Never had a problem with mine. I leave the poles out of the bag and just keep folding the tent until it fits. I find the bag is generous compared to other tents.

is the best way to fold in half lengthways and continue till it fits, is that it?
This is the way we've found the best, making sure all doors and windows are unfasted. Keep folding it lengthways, then get rolling it up! OH usually ends up rolling on it to 'squash' it down a bit more then gets it in the bag! Kids and me enjoy laughing at him at this point  As it originally came, tent goes in one bag then bedroom pods and poles in the other (we did try keep the bedroom pods in once when packing up, but found it more difficult to pack away). Don't know if you've got the porch too, but that is a different kettle of fish in packing up and we can't get the porch + poles all back in the bag!

I find theres nothing more frustrating than a tent that that wont go back in its bag. Only ever happened to me with one particular tent no matter what I did or how I folded it just wouldnt go in. I got so fed up I went out and spent £19.99 on a bigger bag now everything fits in easily

Experience enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again.
Everything has been said before, but since nobody ever listens we have to keep going back and saying it all over again and again and again
