I was able to download pitching instructions for our Royal Winnipeg (as I mislaid those that came with it) from the main Royal Tents website. It was on there in pdf format. Try looking there. Good luck!
As its a tunnel tent, they are pretty straightforward. assemble the poles. check if they are colour coded , if they are , the coloured bit on the pole will match up to colour on the end of the sleeve it goes into on the canvas .
If they are not colour coded and one is shorter than the rest , that one will go at the back end of the tent over the bedroom area .
have you ever put a tent up , do you need detailed step by step instructions or just a basic idea ?
look here to download the video for a similar type of tent .
hi debbie, thanks for the infoe, yes i have put up a tunnel tent before but there is a room on the side of the tent and i don't know how the metal poles fit, many thanks
Do you mean the upright metal poles that hold the side canopy out ? If you do, they have a spike in the end that goes into an eyelet on the bottom of the canopy, and you tie a guyline around the spike to hold it up .

thanks karen, checked the website tent not listed but sent an enquire, hope to get a reply, thanks again
Don't hold your breath! I couldn't download the pdf at first so emailed an enquiry, waited a few days and got no answer. Emailed again repeating my query and was sent the pdf as an attachment, which this time I managed to open, without any 'Hope this helps' message or any kind of nicety! Very perfunctory, but at least they sent it, I guess!
You could try looking for other similar tents on their site and see if the pitching instructions are pretty universal. Our tent has a side porch for which the poles are just like shorter versions of those for the main roof & body. Then it's just a matter of getting the guy lines tight enough and in the right place to hold it out properly. Having never pitched a proper tent before, I was able to pitch our 57kg beasty, single handed, without really refering to the instructions anyway. It's a well made tent, I think but a simple design. You may find it fairly self-explanatory once you've got it all out in front of you.
