Putting up a Touareg Tent  

 
Some general advice 
- We advise having 2 people to erect the tent as it will simplify the work but it’s 
fine with just one if you follow the instructions below.  
- Find a flat place big enough to put up your tent comfortably (including the guy 
ropes) and remove all sharp objects, roots etc. to prevent damaging the 
groundsheet.  
- Be careful when you put the tent under tension with the guy ropes and always 
try to keep the tension even.  
- Make sure all zippers are closed before you peg out the tent and again when 
you adjust the guy ropes and also make sure the guy ropes are pegged out in 
line with the tent seams. 
 

Now this is how to do it properly.  

(If you have the Deluxe just lay it out, peg down the bottom of the walls and start 
at point 4) 
 

1) Unpack the tent   

 

 

 
2) Lay out the ground sheet as flat as possible and 
peg it down with the small pegs to stop it from blowing  
away. You then should only keep the tent on the  
groundsheet and off the floor. This stops it getting  
stained.
