We are planning our first outing with a Vango Diablo 600 - first time in a dome tent (Have had use of tourer caravan in the past!)

We got a bargain with the tent second hand but the instructions are very brief sewn in bag - no pictures to guide you, has anyone got any suggestions where we can get some asap!

Thanks!

put the right colored poles in the right colored holes & peg it down. s'easy peasy

if all else fails get the missus to wear hot pants & look helpless while you go to the pub - something will be up & erected before you finish your first halfpint.
