Hello!!

I've actually got the canaria 4 which is a slightly different beast than the 5 (no ridge), but I did find this on a gumtree advert:

and also these instructions for a different relum tent:

If most of the spring links are still in place, then it should be a doddle to figure out. Going from my experience of my Canaria 4 and my bigger Cabanon, you’ll probably have three lumps of poles: The ridge, the left hand side and the right hand side. Then you’ll probably have some legs and bits left over.

If some or all of the spring links are missing or broken, then you’ve got a bit of a jigsaw on your hands, but it shouldn’t be that hard to work out.

Start with the ridge and then the sides – just get those together first. Then link them together and put the top half of the legs on (with any luck, these will be part of the spring-linked sections). Then you’ve got the tent on its knees, chuck the canvas over and lift it one side at a time and pop the bottoms of the legs on – this is definitely a two person job (three is handier since you’ve got two people to lift and another to slot the bottoms of the legs in).

Hopefully that’s enough to get you on the right track – good luck!!

Thanks to the power of the Internet, and the cameraderie of UK Campsite members, we have (hopefully) got you sorted.

Please let us know how you get on.

Kind regards James

Having a picture of the end product tent can help you in figuring things out too. I found someone's album on photobucket. Hope this link works.http://s472.photobucket.com/user/fostermumanne/library/Tents/Archived%20tents/Relu........

It looks like there is a little protruding bit of roof over the door, which should help you to work out how the roof poles fit together.

Hi

If any one has an instruction guide for the canaria 5 tent, please let me know.

We have lost ours and since we have not used the tent (and we only used it once) for years, we forgot how to erect it.

Any help would be much appreciated.
