Hi there, we got our Pathfinder earlier this year, and you'll find excellent instructions on First Trip in Pathfinder by declang - posted by Scampi the expert!! Sorry, don't know how to do the link, but I've printed this off and these were excellent, it was surprisingly easy. We had a week away at half term, when we put the awning up, and have had three weekends when we didn't bother, we had plenty of room without just for a weekend. Hope you have great times with your Pathfinder, we love ours.
The with sort go on the rods behind the settee they are two identical pairs the third smaller pair go in the loo
The with out ones are in two sizes the longer ones go on wires in front of the beds the shorter ones behind the beds again on wires.
Leave the ones on wires up all the time. Leave the ones on poles on the poles and put them in the relevant bed box as they are.
God knows how you get to 20 pairs .....there are 6 pairs in the awning and I hate the b*******y awning so have only put it up about 5 times and leave the curtains in the bag with the awning. I didn't get confused personally but can't remember if the side ones are different to the front or not.
Be carefully emptying water in the sink it clears slowly or all over the settee.

Well before you ask the next question ill answer it (we asked this) sleeping bags or quilts we have tried both and we are sticking with the quilts and sheets, a double flat sheet tucks in the larger bed and a single flat sheet tucks in well too in the other and they all tie down well maybe sleeping bags are better in the colder weather though.

We put a fleece blanket on the top of the mattress , flannelette sheets and a quilt and have allways been warm even in cold weather. The beds are packed away with the sheets and quilt on and the pillows placed inside the wardrobe between trips. the sheets are only removed when they need washing and at the end of the season when all the soft furnishing are removed.
Once I figure out how to reverse with the trailer ( have downloaded the tips) I will be all set. At the moment my reversing is so bad its comical.
Don`t worry about the reversing you will soon get the hang of it .When i tried for the first time i couldn`t reverse in a straight line and i had half the neighbours to witness it .I have found for me the best way when reversing is to put my hand on the bottom of the steering wheel and then look into side mirrors ,if trailer needs to move left then move hand to left and vice versa .Small movements of the steering wheel are best ,just find a deserted industrial carpark and get some practice in you will get the hang of it eventually .You get paranoid thinking everyone else can reverse when in fact we all tend to struggle.
