[QUOTE="Jimbly, post: 517935, member: 2364"] We've got the Export which is the largest of the lot, as we've got three kids. As the roof panels are larger and heavier than the Confort, I can't quite put it up on my own but I can put the whole thing down alone. It's dead easy and quick, once you've done it a couple of times. Basically, getting the trailer and the two support legs level is crucial and rarely takes more than 10 mins. Then, it takes two of us around 5 mins and the main caravan is up and water-tight. 10 more mins and all the cupboards and the kitchen are up and in place. 5 more mins to get the gas and water containers out of the front box and job's a carrot. So around 30 mins on decent flat ground, a bit longer if it's rough and/or sloping. And about the same to break it down. What is a real pain on ours is the awning. Depending on the weather, this can take 30-60 mins or more, if like at Action this year, the canvas blows away and your missus is left holding a bit of pole and nothing more... We use the van and awning for two nighters - Action, Big Bang, etc. If you didn't want to put the full awning up, you could use the van on its own or put up a sun canopy, which would be quicker but you'd have to modify the awning rail or canopy (staggered roof panels). I leave ours up over the winter as I've always got something to do on it (like the bus) so if you want to come and have a look, just DM me. Jim [/QUOTE]
