Thanks. Yeah pretty easy, its a walkway style camper so its got a bit extra canvas than normal but all pretty easy. Basically level it with stabilisers, unzip travel cover, push open the tent (its got gas assist so goes up automatically), peg it down, put in 3 internal vertical poles and 3 spreader bars, and two pegs for the thermal roof.

Putting up the annex takes about 15-20mins (zip it on, put up poles and ropes). Tailgate kitchen is always ready to use.

No issues with them being slightly longer? I got a set but thought they were too long and might damage something.

Thanks guys. Yeah we're pretty happy with our XJ. Had a few issues with the cooling system last year (fixed by throwing large amounts of money at thing) but other than that been very happy with it. My wife loves driving it too!

Sadly may have to part with it soon as with me being 2m tall, and a growing family, the time is soon coming that we need something bigger. If only XJs were a little bit longer!
