whack it with a cold spoon.......
Methinks you have one of those pop up shower tents?
They can be quite entertaining as long as it is someone else packing them away.
Practice & familiarity reduces the pack up time to a couple of minutes.
We got one of those for our shower. I practiced it at home a lot of times and had it down pat.Quote:

We were camped there for a week and when it came time to go home do you think I could fold the f@!#ing thing!??
Par for the course. Keep trying & you’ll have it conquered by the time it is worn out! Haha.Quote:

Easiest way is to fold it top to bottom and hold it in one hand - like a beer mug. Hold the edge on the ground and with the other hand push the opposite top down and under. If it does not naturally fold - you have it the wrong way around. Release and bend it the other way and again hold it like a beer mug.
It works every time for me. I have even won bets in camping grounds where frustrated users have tried for ages (at the amusement of everyone else) - and they bet I couldn't fold it.
Haha yeah have one of them too. First time i popped it up then tried for half an hour to get it back to a size it would fit in the bag with no success, so lost the plot and actually javelined it into the shed closely followed with multiple expletives!! Sat there for 6 months until i was given the word how to fold it. Worked like a charm and now packed away properly, but has been a while now and forgotten the trick so I'm too scared to unpack it again. Farrcking rubbish item!!!!!!!! :D
For a shower tent, YouTube is your friend, heaps of videos. I used this after battling with it in the kitchen much to the amusement of my wife, now have it down pat, easy.

We used one for the toilet. Come time to pack it away and yeah, after many many times without success it got placed on top of everything else, flat once home it went in the shed the same way. Have now a similar one, but it has fibreglass poles, like tent ones and it fits in the bag every time.

If I have reception I still sometimes go to youtube to refresh as I'm packing away. Its all in how you hold it.Quote:

No matter how many times I've unpacked it and folded it away without problems, there's always the day when I can't get it right. Its just like bloody reef knots. I get them right a hundred times, then out of the blue, I'll be putting right over left then right over left. Bugger! Left over right then this one under that. Bugger!
