 You are not alone! We used to have a portico + and had the very same problem. The blessed thing used to take as much putting up as the full awning so I sold it. I did once get a piece of rope (always carry a tow rope) and tied the poles back against the van by passing the rope under the van and tying to the chassis on the other side. Probably completly the wrong thing to do but it worked, just wasn't very practical lying underneath tying knots.

 Sorry I can't help with the correct way of putting it up.
