Hi, so we have moved from a Voyager 10 tent to a 2011 Sunncamp 400 and 350,(has both awnings for it) I was wondering once set up, as we are using it again the following week can we leave the bed pods in or do we need to re clip everything in and out each time we open/pack away? I have put the curtains on the awnings and left those on when I've folded it away, I'm just looking for more time saving tips/ideas. Eventually I'll work my way up to the caravan with end bedroom (bed permanently made up) convenience level, but until then any tips or handy hints are appreciated :)

Thanks Russ Boy, hoping I've not messed up and got something that's going to take longer to set up than the tent did. However, looking forward to not sleeping on the floor.

I don't want to put you off but the main reason I got rid of my 400 was the time it took to peg out once it was all done I loved it

Ah OK, I thought the test run of putting it up went too well, we got tent and awning up in less than n hour..... (not pegged) could be a job for the kids i suppose. Failing that next time I'll take the other awning.
