Taking down the Touareg.
The idea is to take the tent down on its groundsheet. This way it doesn’t touch
the ground and get stained and muddy.
If you have the deluxe go as far as point 5) and see the instructions at the end.
1) Get everything out of tent and brush out mud and dirt
2) Remove pegs on guy ropes
3) Remove poles and tent will drop on itself
4) Zip up door
5) Go round throwing all the guy ropes onto the centre of the tent
6) Put the bag next to the tent so you can tell how thick a roll you need to
create.
7) Take one side and fold over towards the middle so the edge ends up in
the middle of the tent.
8) Repeat on the other side
9) Repeat the folding until you end up with a roll the same width as the bag.
10) Fold in half towards the bag, Repeat
11) Now roll up and place roll on bag to stop grass stains.
12) Now un-peg the groundsheet. Unless you are in the driest of dry
conditions there will be condensation from the grass on the underside.
You need to let this dry off so, weather permitting, flip the ground sheet
over (don’t do it on the same spot as the condensation was) and give it a
couple of mins to dry off. A couple of pegs will stop if flying away and
consider laying it over something dry if the grass around is wet. (car ,
tarmac, fence, whatever) Not doing this means your storing a damp tent +
possible mould.) If you have to take it home damp pack it separately to the
tent, dry it off when home and then pack together
13) If you have to take the groundsheet home wet underneath try folding it in
on itself so the wet bottom to next to wet bottom and the outside was the
upside in the tent and will be dry.
