Brand mate? They are all generally a little bit different. I have 2 different brands, one folds in 2 sec, I is a bit of a battle.

Brand is just a cheapie from super cheap but looks similar to the one in Lucky dogs link. Ours came home semi erect today, only because I refuse to get only a single use out of this thing. The vid shows a different technique to the so called instructions, am going to try it out this minute.

Surely that video has been edited down from 3 hours of rabid, sweaty "that's the last time I'm bringing this bloody thing", frustration and anger!........either that or he's a master of illusion ;D
Can't get mine to fold like that for the life of me >:(

Twist and fold, only way really to work it out is have someone show you or just keep trying till you get it, took me ages to work it out and then finally it come to me one day.

Took it out the back yard and just kept trying till i got it right.

Make sure its fully deflated, as even slightly erect, you'll never get the zipper done up.

AS for an ensuite tent, wouldn't have a guckin flue.

Hi, 
   We have one and it is a breeze to fold and pack. I bought another one and could not fold it. No way would it fold and go back in the bag.
Finally solved the problem with the angle grinder and a wheelybin.
Cheers

Pop up ensuites  are just the latest craze that replaced Rubik Cubes. You must practice until you reach master status.

Very few people are as hairy as you though.

If it wasn't for ya thumbs, you would've been on the wall of a game hunter's trophy room years ago.  ;D

I gave up. It is stored on top of the camper trailer just before the cover goes on. Too easy.

make sure you video yourself or someone else folding it up on your phone so you can have the footage handy next time your out, as you'll likley forget how to do it by then. I tried showing a mate how to fold his up recently and found i'd  forgotten how and was folding it wrongly. Once i youtubed it, i got him to fold it and video'd him doing it so i have it handy when there's no internet connection available.

I still recall watching Glen trying to fold his up when we were camped on the bank of the Paroo River out of Eulo last year, he had no idea how to do it and neither did the random fella camped over from us who had the same thing set up at his campsite....lol..... I didn't even try, i had no idea how to do it back then either...lol

I'm not allowed to touch our double Ensuite. The missus watched the uTube vid to stop my swearing and hostility. She can't tie a shoelace or cook a pork chop but packs that thing up easy peasy.

this is the very average video i took of my mate folding the Aldi ensuite tent back up, i made sure he commentated also so we couldn't forget how it's done...lol.
Basically you pick it up and bend the middle up / arch it a touch, then fold the sides in a touch towards each other, right hand over left hand as you twist it, and then push down onto the ground....DONE!!!!
