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.

- Page 2 4) Now you need to do a one off stringing. This will take around 15 mins but you only need to do it the once. The Touareg will then take around a total of 10 mins to erect. Lay all the ropes and sort them into long and short.
- Page 3 5) Take the 4 long guy ropes and in the same way attached them to the loops at the top of the doors front and back. When you do go to peg out the ropes slide the adjuster some way from the end so you can then adjust both ways. The way it works is to put the peg in the loop closest to the knot at the end of the rope.

- Page 5 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.
- Page 6 14) Once dry fold in on itself until you end up a strip the same width as the tent and fold it on itself until you have a square. Then slightly unroll the tent. Put the groundsheet , poles and pegs on top and roll around them to create a roll the correct size for the bag.
