After much research I've traded in my Eurohike Ribble 2 for a much roomier pre-loved Outwell Arizona L
It's gorgeous! With brilliant headroom - no more crawling - and great living/porch area.
I'm really just after pitching tips as I'll be on my own - it states 2 to pitch ideally -but I've seen several reviews from campers who have pitched it on their own. So just looking for hints and tips please!
Oh, it is the older style I think as the bedroom has a SIG but the living area has a separate groundsheet... Do I lay this down first and erect the tent over it? Or pull it under after the rest of the tent is in place?
Thank you ☺️

My daughter had the old Arizona L. I have pitched it on my own for drying.   Pitch the main tent on it's own to reduce weight, then attach the bedroom once it is up.
Start with the diagonal poles then the one across the middle.

Thank you - that definitely makes sense.
Did you daughter have the separate ground sheet too? I'm not sure at what point to insert this in to the puzzle 😅

I don't remember another groundsheet. Is it a footprint that goes under the whole tent or just one for the living area?
If it goes under the whole tent I would put it down first, if it's just the living area I would do it when the tent is up.
