The only thing we struggled with was figuring out the best way to get the canopy folded and back in the carrying case with the frame. Our first instinct was to put the frame in the case, and then put the folded canopy in alongside it. We eventually got it in, but it seemed like we were missing an easier way. Anyone have any hints?
I have this exact model. I've found I can leave the canopy on the frame and 8t fits the bag pretty well. I know this is recommended against, but with some care then taking down and packing, this can be avoided easily. I wrap up the tie down lines in individual bundles at the corners (I use rubber bands). Then collapse the frame carefully and keep an eye on the canopy to avoid pinching. Tuck in any protruding folds of the canopy back into the frame. The bag is on right over the top and should fit on fairly easily. Flip the whole thing over to the feet are up, tuck the bag of stakes down into the frame, and zip the bag closed.
I've found the bag, handles and wheels to be fairly sturdy. I wouldn't ditch them right away. The wheeled bag is pretty nice. Good luck!
