I usually camp solo and I have a QS 8.0 with the awning that is held up by 4 poles. I haven't tried it yet, but is setting up an awning supported by 4 poles a one-man job? Anyone tried it before?
zipping the awning onto the tent is definitely a two person job - setting up the support poles and staking the guide ropes can be easily done by one person.
It can be done solo but takes longer. After a few times you will get it figured out.
