Anyone got a Coleman Valdes 4? Tips for getting it back in the bag

I love my above airbeam tent. Very quick to put up but OMG the faff trying to squeeze it back into the bag after deflating it. I have tried folding, rolling, jumping up and down on it. Anyone have any tips for this or other airbeam tents?

I have another brand of tent but have the same problem. I deflate the beams and pack it loosely at the campsite - it won't fit in the bag.

When I get home I lay it out in the back yard and let it dry overnight. I also deflate the beams again - always seems to be air remaining. Then spread it out and fold then roll. We do the at home pack with two people - after each roll we lie on it to squash out the air. And similar with rolling it - both of us pushing really hard to squash it down as much as possible. We can get it back into the bag but without the pegs, pump and so on that it originally came packed with.
