First time would have been around 5 hrs (initial set up on a myswag weekend @ Eildon back in Feb) this was mainly due to everyone coming up and introducing themselves and we stopped and chatted, received a lot of advice on that particular afternoon around different little things. As it was the first time we had actually set up, took all the poles and all the canvas pieces and kept on picking up and putting down every pole at least 3 times as we had not done the annex roof before.


Last time out took 2 hrs, as all the poles that are not needed and extra canvas room are now sitting in the garage as well as all the tips we received from our original outing are now well and truly ingrained in memory

If it is not taking 3 hours to setup then I don't think you are taking enough stuff.
First need to get tent open and pegged annex on plus all walls, then move on to the kitchen setup coffee machine have cappuccino then setup Bbq kettle microwave toaster lights etc.
Before relaxin need to setup kitchen table and chairs recliners for the home theatre TV dvd and aerials take fridge out and position close to recliners so as no need to get up to get beer.
If I get quicker at it I will need suggestions as to what else I can take to extend my set up time
Hope this helps

yep, tip 1 was to ensure you tighten the clamp on the Jockey wheel before going to bed:-)
