The roof inserts make this tent a nightmare. I can see why Snowys, nor any business reviewer, did not do a video on set up. Im writing this review because there are none that cover setting up. I bought this ensuite from Big W. It pops up easily and is easy to stow away, after watching online pack up videos. This ensuite comes with fibreglass rods to install. Four support the sides and rear. These are easy to install and do provide extra support to the frame. Two are to support the roof on both sides. These are a total nightmare. I camp for stress relief and the roof support installation is a huge fail, in my opinion. There is a small insert for the ends to go into and you can see them in the photo. There was no need for the rods to be so long and so fiddly to get in. I gave up. Fortunately, the roof holds up fine without them but not in rain. Honestly, it is easier and quicker to put up to songle ensuits. The tiny centre hook will hold a light. Even with supports installed the hook won't hold much weight as it is sewn into the fabric. There are 6 ropes to peg out, giving this ensuite good stability.

As stated, there aren't any videos showing roof rod installation and now I understand why. There is a zip that allows me to access the towel hung on the outside. When camping where privacy is required, it will be very convenient to shower one side and get dressed on the other side, after pushing the dunny into a corner.

This ensuite appears strong and well made. Make aure you set up with ALL doors zipped. I think I will take my 'no name' single, if there is any chance of rain because roof rod installation is frustrating, difficult and not worth the hassle unless I am camping for at least a week.

Purchased in at eBay for $99.

Edit: By lowering the crossed fibreglass rods into the corners of the shower tent, then pushing it up towards the roof, in the centre, I was finally able to insert the roof support on both sides. I tried twice and this worked both times. As I will be camping with the possibility of thunderstorms soon, I was made to find a way out of necessity. So although the roof supports and wall rods are an extra task, compared to other double pop up ensuites, I feel this ensuite is much more solid. I have added trace springs to all the guy ropes for added gusty wind protection.
