Anyone had trouble erecting the Khyam Sun porch?  We used for the first time recently. There were no instructions but it's not rocket science is it!, however on the front set of poles we could not insert the ring and pin on both sides. We swapped the poles, tried tricking the tent by getting each side half way but one side would just not fit! Any advice?

It is VERY hard work (much harder than putting our Khyam Ontario 8 up) and requires 2 people and a lot of pulling and pushing. In fact we have now resorted to 4 people, 2 to hold one side in place and the other 2 to do battle with the ring and pin thingy.

It is a bit easier to manage if you unzip and remove the whole front section (doors and windows) as you are fighting less material.

We have found it is slightly easier each time, but still a massive struggle. (Sorry, not much help, but it is a really good addition to your tent once you have won the battle)

In response to earlier post its from  tentsparesman on Ebay (last years green colour) I will try the unzipping thing, very helpful, thanks peeps! I agree tho' its worth the effort the extra space is fab.

It gets slightly easier each time you put it up - but I was surprised considering how easy the tent goes up.
