I'll try again!

Just looked at the video on that link. Looks pretty good actually...quite amusing when the demonstrator tried to fold it up and open it again. I think he should have practiced a bit first

I have just bought 3 campbeds from ebay 14.95 each they are yellowstone alliminum and set it up last night I have bought a sim to go on each from costco, set it up last night but required my husband to put on the end as not had the strength but as its only me and kids going it maybe a problem so was wondering if anyone knew how to stretch the canvas slightly.

Apart from that I am really pleased me and the kids all had a lay down on it yesterday and seem alot more comfortable than air beds.

Cant wait will april now!

When you come to use them, your weight will stretch them slightly. So the longer you use them the easier they'll be. Maybe you need to sleep in them for a few nights at home! Or even better put the tent up in the garden and go camping.

Thanks for all the advice, I've got 2 of the Argos camp beds reserved, we pick them up tomorrow

I'm going to try them with an old single duvet each folded in half under our sleeping bags to start with, we've spent well over £100 on camping stuff in the last week or so, I can't justify buying 2 SIMS too!

I'll be back with the verdict when we've had chance to try them out

How about the advice given for frame tents that have shrunk. Try wetting it when it is under tension, then letting it dry out. Worth a try.

I'd rather be kayaking.
Spent up, not pent up, just had my new tent up.

There is a you tube video, where a man made a lever to solve this problem. Don't have a link though soz
