I recently was bought a second hand sunncamp tent, the only clue i have is that it says sunncamp trip on the bag it came in , now when i tried to errect this tent i found no instructions at all in side bag and have no idea how to errect it , please please could someone help if they have instructions or even a picture of what it should look like when errected that would be a start,   its doing my head in.  I would appreciate any help at all.

Thanks in anticipation.

Welcome to UKCS  If you go on www.sunnflair.com you can download instructions to some of the Sunncamp tents.

I am sure someone will be along later to help you.....

does it have colourcoded poles?

if it has matching stripes on the poles  with matching pole sleeves on the tent, then you just match them together, then put the ends of the poles into the ring and pins under the tent.  this should give you the basic shape of the tent.

i googled your tent but couldnt find it. sorry, hope you figure it out soon.

have you tried laying the tent out on the floor and laying the poles over the top of the pole sleeves?  it may become slightly more clear after you try this.

have you looked inside the tent to see if there are any labels sewn into it with any other writing?  chances are if the tent is second hand it may not be in the original bag, and may not be that tent at all.

Has it got sleeve channels  running across the top of the flysheet to slide the poles into. If so , assemble the poles, they may be various lengths. They may have a different colour on the ends of the poles. if they have, there should also be a different colour on the ends of the sleeves to show which pole goes in which sleeve.

If not, lay the poles over the top of the sleeves to get an idea of which ones go where, the longest ones, will go in the longest sleeves.

 thread them in, there will be rings with pins to put the poles into attached to the bottom of the flysheet. Then put the pins into the ends of the poles. this will raise the tent up and should give an idea if you have the poles in the right places.

Have a look at the khyam and outwell websites, they have videos on there of how to put their tents up. You may find it helpful if you can at least recognise what style of tent it is, there may be something there that's similar in shape that you will get a general idea from it.

Or can you take a photo of the tent laid out and maybe we can advise you better from that?

I think i sussed it many,  thanks for all your help, the tent looks like a bigger version of the ventura, well lets say the instructions seem to work, ill let you know when ive tried it.

once again thanks

i have a suncamp ...what you have to do is lay the fabric out and insert the longest poles first then the smaller ones red to red blue to blue and so on ,once you have done this get someone to stand in the entrance of the tent and lift it up while they stand there go round and put in the longest poles into their coloured slots until you get the basic shape ,then its just a matter of putting the bedroom slots in place ....if you peg one of the corners down before you start the tent does not fly away .

hope this helps

have you tried phoning sunnflair? the phonenumber is on the website.
