Has anyone figured out how to get it back into the bag?

To avoid weakening the tent fabric along fold lines used over and over, you should just stuff the tent into the stuff sack; never store a tent rolled up; ideally store the completely dry tent in a slightly larger stuff sack that allows a little air flow to avoid fabric compression and reduces the chance of mildew developing.

PUSH IT! :-) Seriously, fold it as much as you can on the lines that remains from the first time you took it out and then the rest is just pushing it harder and harder! That is how I do it :-)

I didn't have much problem getting it back into the bag. Lay it out flat. Then get the storage bag and lay it next to the tent so you can see the size it needs to be when folded. Fold both sides of the tent in toward the middle until the width of the tent is a little less than the length of the storage bag. Then roll it up very tight and it should fit into the bag.

you can sort of see the fold lines when it is laying flat. You should leave the door open so extra air can escape and then make sure at the end you fold in the top piece and poles. I am not 100% certain, but I seem to recall you start off folding the tent in 1/2 and then 1/3rds....Good luck!!

All I did was cut the top of the bag open, emptied the media and refilled it. I then placed the bag back inside the cartridge and it holds just fine. If you feel like putting an extra ten minutes you can relace it with thread so you can close it tight. That's my advice.

I managed to stuff it back in the bag in about 5 minutes. Just start at one end and keep punching it down into the bag, removing the air as you go. There is no way to roll it or fold it and then put it in the bag.

You pull the bag down, and then knot it at the bottom of the bag. When you need to change the bag, you pull down on the top of the bag so that you will be able to make a knot at the top to keep the bag closed. Hope this helps. You can also go on You tube, to see how it looks when the bag is changed.

I didn't have any trouble folding it back up... bring both sides into the middle till they meet. Stomp out all excess air... then fold again continuing to push out all the air. Roll from short front end to back continuing to push out excess air. This should now fit back into the bag... add poles.

Margaret:I would have no idea how to get your bag undone, sounds like you will need a new sealing strip when it is all over. I have never had that happen in all my years of using vac sealers. sorry that is all I can offer

Last night I struggled with this exact same issue when I opened a new bag. I never got it to zip back up. So if anyone has a tip please tell us.

It does not come off....and it sucks to store in the bag. While I have not broken mine yet...it seems immanent...

Wish I could help but I am in the same position and end up carefully cleaning out the bag and using it again. Sorry I can't help you.

Look at the top part of the plastic. The bag is velcro to the plastic. Just find the end and unwrap. Took me a while too.

You have to collapse it and fold the coil back onto the shaft. This is the biggest bag I could find.

It does but we tried countless times and never once succeeded in getting it back In The bag!

I would try to find something to fit in the button to open it back up. From what I remember on mine there is a tiny button to push in there.

That happened to me at the beginning. I just held it in when I picked it up. Then after it had been in there a couple weeks, it never tried to fall out again even without support. Give it a little time?

How I did mine probably won't help you. The bag's original strap snapped into the bottom connection. The part that broke was the strap piece. The bottom piece was still intact and I could thread the new strap into that.

I personally do not find it difficult to replace. If you cannot close it then you have the bag refill upside down. Turn it around and work it that way. The bag will be overflowing from the top not the bottom going down.
