I'm new!! Dumb questions alert... :)

Rather than "pretend that I know what I'm doing" at first setup, you might bite the bullet and ask some likely fellow camper to assist you. We all had to start sometime, and almost all of us are glad to help out when asked.

I remember trying to put up my popup's awning for the first time. Must have taken me a dozen tries, and I'm sure other the campers were provided with much entertainment.
