My tent beds actually touch my roof now when I lower it for travel. This was after I added 3-inch memory foam on both bed ends...

Mine is pretty straighet foward... Remove the bottom of the window flaps and tuck inside... Push both ends in and gently tuck things around them. Then I just lower the top with my electric switch... When its get down to about two inches from the bottom then I do one more walk around to stuff the window flaps inside the area...
Then it clear sailing the next two inches and latch in place...
It takes take some training on folding over the kitchen area and put eveything in its place. I use the ACTION PACKER cases from WALMART and label what is inside them... Think I have of these medium size cases... Three or four goes down the hallway after the kitchen area has been folded over. Then the rest goes on my 5x8 deck lined up good with all of the outside items... Then I cover the outside items with 9x12 tarps...
It takes me 15-minutes or so to get ready for travel after we have have cleaned up everything placed in the actionpacker cases... I am never in any hurry... Doesnt other me how long it takes.... Same for setting up... It gets up when it gets up...
