T series owners

We are coming up on a year with our 173T and we love it.  We tend to dry camp in places with no electricity and that makes the air mattress more difficult.  We are going to try a different one this weekend that uses batteries.  I was surprised to find no instructions on putting the tenting up.  I even contacted FR and they had nothing.  We have the same problem with the lock turning.  We just picked it up from the dealer for warranty work, so we'll see this weekend if its been fixed.  Really looking forward to this weekend, Fall camping in upstate New York is the best!!
