Using one of the tent poles with the rubber foot at the end, place the pole under one of the aluminium cross bars, and lift up the tent sleeping section.

Now the other person ( on the opposite side) "pulls" on the bottom section in order to open the tent out. Once in this position, zip in the ground sheet.
Then zip closed the 2 mozzy doors in the bottom section. This will ensure that the tent is not "over stretched" when pegging down.

Pegging down the main section can now begin.
Start at the corner on inside ( trailer side) and make sure that you have "lined up" (squared off) the corner nicely to the trailer, so that the tent walls will stand "straight".

Now holding the long pole, "eye" down the centre line of the inside of the roof, to make sure that this is nicely in line with the whole tent. Lift the adjusting pole until the "line" of the roof from the "outside" main section and Awn are the same. The other person can tell you to lift or lower. Once the height is set, peg the centre pole using a "single long rope". The rear section will now stand on it's own.

Now the corner poles can be pegged, using a "double rope". These must be pegged at right angles to each other, so that the tent is pulled in both directions, backwards and sideways.

The bottom section "rain flap" can be pegged like this, and if required, can be "dropped" quickly and zipped closed, by simply lifting the flap off the poles.

Now all the side and opposite end poles can be pegged, and your set-up should then look like this' Make sure all poles are nicely in line and standing straight.

Note all corner poles use" double" ropes at 90 deg. to each other, in order to pull the tent nice and tight.

The ladder can now be fitted onto the bed section. Note that the ladder has protective rubber strips on the feet to avoid damage to the ground sheet.
