Hi there went out yesterday and purchased the Kampa croyde 8 package deal.
A little bit of help needed if possible
1st when putting up is it best to peg out the 4 corners first to aid in the erecting of tent?
2nd when it comes to packing away is it ok/best to leave the bedroom pods still attached inside to speed up putting up next time?does this make putting up tent harder
Thanks in advance

If you have a footprint put that down first, then the tent goes on top on that, making sure the foot print does not protrude beyond the tent or water may get between them.

Then do the two corners at back and work your way down each side together if there are two of you, you can peg out the 4 corners but you most probably will have to move them about to line the sides up straight, it's personal choice how you do it though!.

yes leave the bedroom pods in situ, bulks the tent out a bit for packing away but makes it easier to put up.

Is yours inflatable or poles?

Peg the back corners first and then you can stand the back up by using the centre guy and lean the tent away, then start inserting the rest of the poles to the front and then peg the two corners from the front door (not canopy) and again use centre guy off of canopy to hold that up and then make sure that the pegged square is nice and tight and not sagging anywhere and then finish pegging out. Voila 😃
