Hi

Take a look at Yeoman Outdoor's utube video of pitching the Outwell Montana below. This may answer your question, although I don't know if it can be done for all tunnel tents. We aim to try it next year for our Vango Columbia 600. Both have steel poles which may help.

Hello Lyndyloo,

I have an Outwell Carolina 3 and erected it on my own with little trouble. There is a Yeomans video on Utube showing one man erecting it in just over 6 minutes. Took me a little longer than that being the first time I had erected that tent

I took a look at your tent in the tent reviews, and your photos. You seem to have done a good job for your first trip. I would be very interested to know where that campsite is...looks very nice. I would have been inclined to turn the tent round the other way so you have views of the river though.

I can do my Outwell SunValley 6 solo *.  The way in the video (end poles first, then middles) makes it a lot easier.

* BUT always prefer to have two people - it's hard work! If it's windy or rainy, two people is a must (that flysheet can turn into a big sail in the wind and gets a LOT heavier very quickly in the rain).
