- Hey guys, this is the Smarttek Double Ensuite Shower Tent
set up behind me here.
I'm gonna show you how I set it up,
and I'm gonna show you how to pack it away as well.
Let's get started.
(upbeat music)
G'day folks, Ben here from Snowy's today
down at the Brownhill Creek Caravan Park again.
We're down here today all about Smarttek.
This caravan park's a grand little stop over
for locals or a great place to stay
if you're passing through the area.
It's in Adelaide's leafy eastern suburbs.
And it's a beautiful, quiet little spot.
I've got the Smarttek Double Ensuite Shower Tent
here with me today.
I'm gonna show you how to set it up and pack it away.
Weighs a little bit over five kilos
and packed up measures about 107 by about 15 centimetres
by 15 centimetres, thereabouts,
depending on how tightly you pack it up.
I'm gonna start by showing you what comes in the bag.
Just having a look inside the back here,
this is the main portion of the tent,
the frame and everything all in one.
Now I haven't set this up before
and there's not much in the instructions
so I'm making some assumptions here
but this to me looks like a little organiser pocket
that can hang inside the tent
I guess we'll find out more about that shortly.
Get a bag of pegs and some guards.
They're very thin pegs.
Probably don't need a really super durable peg for this,
but I'd say you could upgrade them.
This is the fly sheet that goes over the top
for a bit of rain protection.
And there's something else,
I'm not 100% sure what it is,
but I'm gonna make an assumption that that is a towel rail
and there's somewhere to instal it inside.
First thing though is to grab this,
untie the tie around it and we can pop the frame in place.
Okay, so I'm just going to orient the tent.
I've got the main hub here,
this is what's gonna form the peak of the tent.
I just need to find the door,
so I can see I've got...
There we go, I've got the doors there.
So I want the doors facing that way.
So I'm just gonna let the legs fall out.
It's a long, thin tent this way.
From here, I'm gonna grab these legs
and invert these knuckles back the other way
on all four corners.
And the tent is starting to take shape.
I'm actually going to put four pegs in the corners now
just so that the tent stays there
in case the wind picks up.
Okay, I've got all four pegs in the corners now,
so the tent is secure.
Now I'll need to extend each of these legs.
So to do that, there's a little mechanism
up underneath this sleeve here.
So if we grab this knuckle on top
and start pulling these legs out,
eventually, we'll see this mechanism in this gap here.
So if we keep extending that out,
it'll eventually click into place.
Here we go, you feel it click.
So here we flow through the fly sheet over the top.
Now this has got clips in the corners, plastic clips.
And they marry up to these loops here.
There's a loop on the top and loop on the bottom.
This loop on the bottom can be used for the guards
that are included with your kit so if it's really windy,
put some guard in for stability.
We're not gonna worry about that today.
But I am gonna through the fly over the top now.
We'll just orient this so it runs length-wise to the tent.
Throw that over the top, clip it into place.
So, we're just gonna attach our accessories inside now
cause the tent itself is all set up
but first I want to grab a shower
and put it around the corner there
and show you where the shower inlet port is.
So then I can show you how the shower rose
attaches inside the tent.
So I've just come around to the end of the tent
and I've got my Smarttek hot water unit here
and there's this port here where the shower rose
can go into the tent.
So I've had to set this down low cause I've got
about a two metre shower rose here
so I need to allow a bit of space to get in
and up inside the tent in there.
So I'm just gonna grab this, tuck it inside here
cause then I can go inside and set it all up.
So let's go in there and check it out.
Okay, so I'll step inside the tent here now.
The first thing I'm gonna do is put our towel rail on.
I've worked out where it goes.
There's two clips or straps with clips here
that we can clip this into and it creates
a neat little towel rail for us here
in the dry side of the tent.
Step in through this side here
which is where we actually set up our shower.
Now we'll grab our little shower caddy here
and there's four loops in here.
Little plastic rings that marry up with the clips
on the shower caddy here.
So we can clip this onto this wall.
They're all mesh pockets.
So we can keep our shower accessories at hand.
And lastly, we can come down to the base here
and grab our shower rose that we poked
through the wall there.
And we come up to these Velcro tabs in the corners here
which is where we can attach our shower rose
to secure it in pace, ready for a nice hot shower.
There's two tabs, and we're good to go.
And that's how you set up
the Smarttek Double Shower Ensuite
that was super easy and by myself
it only took a few minutes.
And pack up is just as easy as well.
The first thing we're gonna do for pack down
is probably remove the accessories from inside
or at the very least take this pole out.
Because it's not gonna fold up very well with this in here.
The little oranizer panel that we've got
at the end of the other side here,
we can probably leave that in place.
I'm gonna leave it there and see
how it folds up with that attached.
We do probably though,
want to take the fly sheet off
because this being a waterproof flysheet,
we don't want to risk that getting pinched
in the frame anywhere and causing a hole.
So we've got a fly and accessories off,
we'll now collapse the frame down.
So we go to each of these corners,
we press this little lever here
which will release this frame.
Allow it all to collapse down.
As we push that down, do it on each corner.
So now we can probably take our pegs out of the corners
and we need to invert these knuckles back inside the tent.
So just push these gently and be careful
that this centre hub doesn't come back
and hit us in the face.
It tends to bounce back a little bit once you release it.
Now from this point, we grab all four corners
and bring them up to the centre.
And we can then roll the tent up.
So we've got the tent packed up now,
just gotta slide it back into the bag.
Now that went back in the back a cinch.
The bag is plenty big enough for the tent.
That is how you set up and pack away
the Smarttek Double Ensuite Shower Tent.
