10 minutes. Its super easy. You do need to stand on the bed rail or keep a short ladder around.
The cover velcros to the platform along with 4 staps. Once the cover is off, 4 corner velcro straps allows the platform to fold out. 2 pins and a strap for the ladder and you just pull the ladder towards you and the tent is up. Mine has a porch that you need to set up with a few bars. Optional rods for the window awnings if you want. Throw yer bedding in and yer done.
