OMG... the awning!! We have found that you need to lay all the poles out on the ground first, to see what goes where.

The, we have been advised, to zip the awning on and start with the central pole first and work outwards.

We had an absolute mare 1st time but now we know what we're doing it should only cause a couple of rows!!!

Have fun!!

Hi Towcamp, we do the same as ejjerome-zip the awning on first, then work poles from the unit outwards, the second time we put it up, we also realised it's much easier if all the panels are zipped off so you're just more or less erecting the roof. We got our canvas filthy the first time because there was just too much fabric to deal with!
Have a fab holiday

We assemble the frame first on ours and then lift fabric over it and zip on.

There's a video somewhere to watch and see how it should be done properly!
