Change Shelter Help Needed.

I've called it all sorts of names - but as yet, no reply.
I believe the constuction of the brands to be almost identical.
They fold into a circle (3 actually). - or at least they do before you take them out of the bag. Folding them up - its every man for himself.

Hey Guys,

check out this site,

It's quite an easy way to do it specially if your shown in person but it's still a little confusing in the pics. Why not take it to your nearest camping store and ask them?

Cheers, ToNy!

Tony - you're a champion. Thanks.
I'll keep the sissors close by (just in case).
Funny that our old unit folds up very quickly. Almost do it blindfolded.
The new one - fights like a tomcat. Perhaps with time it can be trained :)-

They may look the same, but some have fibreglass frame, others steel!

If anyone is looking at buying one of these i would recomend getting the round fibreglass frame. They cost slightly more than the ones with the flat steel frame but having the round fibreglass frame means the pack down alot easier.

If you have the on with the flat steel frame sometimes, especially if you've been strugling with it, gets twisted inside itself. You can tell it's twisted if you fold the shower flat so you have one big oval and then put it on the ground and it doesn't sit perfectly flat. To get rid of this just open the whole shower up to it's full size and shake nice and hard.

What ever you do don't force or struggle too much with the ones that have the steel frame as you can do permanent damage.

Once you do work out how to do it, practise it lots and then practise it everyday for at least a week then you'll never have a problem again.

Cheers, ToNy!

Hey Tonyshaw., Have to laugh, packing the shower tent up!! they get to "L" in the pack up on that site, just check out the guys expression on his face , the guy is exhausted. I bet he's saying Where did i put the ------- carry bag!!! Michael

hmmm, that rings a bell.

It took her 15 minutes hey? Another lady told me you had a tendency to exagerate time and certain things that seemed to her to only take 3 seconds you had actually claimed were all night sessions. Hahahahah.

hahaha, LMAO

That's women for you - you give 'em perfection immediately and they're still not satisfied! :)

PS. I won't mention what another wombat told me... (btw where _did_ you manage to find the zebra? :)

A sheepish Zebra rang on Monday night and it appears things may be getting back to normal in the zoo.

Daft buggers :)

That easy HUH ! Next time i try mine i will be wearing my full face helmet !! LOL!!

Yep very easy once you see phisically how it's done,those instructions are a pain in the butt. Jodie does ours in less than 30 secs.

Yep,

I don't have any trouble either.

You just need to remember to cross your arms after folding the smaller end (top) to the the larger end (bottom)

Grasp the sides with arms crossed, then uncross them and hey presto!
You end up with dual loops or rings, one inside of the other.

My "utility" tent actually has the instructions on a label sewn to one of the side seams, if one has forgotten how.

It's so easy once you have "the knack" that someone should issue a diploma in crapper tent folding.

Hi Cuffs,
I took one back to Rays in West Terrace because it wouldn't fold up. But they had one staff member who was good at doing it and he showed me how. It was nothing like the instructions. But if I haven't done it for a few months, I soon forget it. Had to make sure that all the frame was not twisted, then hold the base under your foot, whole you double it up, then turn one side in......or something like that :-)))
