Can't help with the instructions, but I'm pretty certain it's a similar design to our previous tent.

Following this video did us absolutely no harm at all, even though ours was a little heavier, due to it being polycotton...

We have the Royal Winnipeg 4 which looks similar. I found some instructions for the Winnipeg 6 which advised we peg the back 2 corners, thread all the poles and then move forward as if lifting a pram hood. Well I couldn’t manage the weight, much to the frustration of my better half so I convinced him to try the method Gary Cross explained re putting up a large tunnel tent and it worked like a charm!

Peg your footprint down if using, then peg all four corners of your tent. Make sure all the straps at the ring and pins are loose and your doors are zipped. Put in the middle pole, then put in the ring and pins on both sides and it will stand up on its own. Move back to the rear pole and do the same, then the front two / three poles. Now you can make any adjustments and peg out, tightening the ring and pin straps as needed. The Wiinipeg has an interior sliding bar either side for added rigidity that slips in pockets at each end, not sure if yours does, and also small poles creating shelters above the side windows, plus a side door with interior support poles, but once the main tent is up these are a doddle.    The Winnipeg has been one of the easiest to put up doing it this way. Hope that helps!

Found the manual for the winnipeg 6, but still find it easier to do as above.
