Dumb I know, but I got into a real tizzy trying to erect it this morning.

Sunncamp evolution plus. Inner room with ground sheet attached to bedroom only. (Stretches to fill all ground space)
it has two straps which I presume lay flat, do I peg these first, then thread the poles, or do I thread and bend poles first.

I read that it's easy to erect but have sweat buckets lol. We go away on Tuesday and is is the first chance I have had to test it out.
I am thinking of taking this and our small dome tent just in case I get into another tizzy.

Any help really appreciated.

We had the 600 dl sunncamp evolution. Great tent wish we kept it now as we found it so easy to put up, we keep toying wit the idea of another one for a weekend tent if we don't find what we are Looking for at present!
What we did was, lay the tent out flat on the ground, put in the two long poles( length poles if I remember correctly) put these in, but not In The pins each end just yet.
Open the doors on the tent and then feed to poles across the tent, then use it another person to help, they go inside and lift the tent up in the middle why you put the pins in side to side. Then back to front.
Then you can pick the tent up and position on the ground sheet to suite. Any more questions let me know. Ours was the older on without the door canopy but the basics should be the same.
