 Hello all !

          First post so here goes....

       I am hoping that some one with a corado 6 could help us we have just bought one today as it was on sale at Go Outdoors and could not resist the offer.. How ever we erected the tent no problem But found the instructions on how to fold and re pack the tent where just not working for us Does ant one have any little tricks that works for them?

hi know where you are coming from. we erected our new colarado 4 today. We have a gelert sahara and getting that back in the bag is an art in its self.

we always leave the front door unzipped so the air can escape then we fold in to the middle my husband then rolls on it.( we saw someone on a campsite do this works a treat). you then keep folding into the middle , rolling on it every time.Then keep your fingers crossed that it goes in the bag!

Works for us. 

  Thanks,

            Will give it a go but i think i will get the kids to do the rolling!

Hi there,

We've had the Corado 6 for over a year now and love it! We always leave the front door unzipped and then roll from back to front to let the air out.  We leave the sleeping compartment attached to the tent, we just unclip a few clips here and there so it does not pull too much when we pitch the next time.

I can for the life of me not explain how we fold it up!  Can show you easily but struggling to put it into words.  We kind of fold the two sides in and then keep folding until it is smaller than the bag. We always test against the bag before we start rolling to make sure it will fit.  We can fit the tent (with sleeping compartment attached) and the footprint into the bag with some room to spare.  You just have to roll very tight and wait for the air to go out before rolling again.

Happy camping!
