Well you can't be that green as you bought a beautiful unit! (not that I'm biased). The best advice I can give is try it out a few times at home or close by so you can se where you get "stuck" and ask for help. Lisa will no doubt post under me with a link to the owners club, do join its really fun and very helpful.

Pennine have a video on their website which shows how to pitch a pathfinder - OK, so it's done in ideal conditions by a beautiful couple with perfectly well-behaved kids, but it's still a useful thing to watch!

Unfair Jan - she does bring out a cold drink for her man right at the end, like a good little wifey should!

Yes but I like the romantic toast at the end - but they do seem to clink those plastic glasses for a heck of a long time LOL

But as far as a weekends camping is concerned this is how it should be, ladies sit back feet up with a glass of wine and let the men do everything, this way we ensure a relaxing break from from the normal cooking, and cleaning
