4. Setup Instructions

Follow these steps for quick and easy assembly:

1. Unpack and Lay Out: Remove the tent from its carry bag and lay the outer tent flat on your chosen campsite. Ensure the entrance is facing the desired direction.

3. Insert Poles: Slide the assembled poles through the fabric sleeves on the outer tent. The sleeves are sewn at one end for convenience.
4. Secure Poles: Insert the ends of the poles into the grommets or pins located at the base of the tent corners. This will raise the tent structure.

6. Attach Inner Tent: Hook or clip the inner tent to the attachment points inside the outer tent. Ensure the sleeping cabin is properly suspended.

5. Operating and Usage

Maximize your comfort and convenience with these features:

• Dark Interior: The tent's dark interior fabric is designed to provide increased darkness for peaceful sleep, even during daylight hours, and helps maintain a cooler internal temperature.
• Awning: The fully rollable and weather-protected awning provides additional storage space for gear, shoes, or as a shaded area.
• Ventilation: Utilize the main entrance and dedicated ventilation opening, both equipped with mosquito nets, to ensure airflow and prevent condensation while keeping insects out.
• Internal Storage: A side interior pocket and a practical storage net in the dome provide convenient places to store small items like phones, headlamps, or books.
• Cable Pass-Through: A dedicated cable pass-through allows for easy routing of power cables into the tent for charging devices or powering lights.

6. Maintenance and Storage

Proper care extends the life of your tent:

• Cleaning: Clean the tent with a soft sponge and mild soap (non-detergent) and lukewarm water. Do not use harsh chemicals or washing machines. Rinse thoroughly.
• Drying: Always ensure the tent is completely dry before packing it away. Packing a damp tent can lead to mildew and fabric degradation. Air dry in a shaded, well-ventilated area.
• Storage: Store the tent in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Pole Care: Inspect poles for damage before and after each use. If a pole splinters, repair kits are available.
• Pegs and Guy Lines: Clean pegs and coil guy lines neatly before storage to prevent tangles.

7. Troubleshooting

• Condensation Inside Tent:

  Solution: Ensure proper ventilation by opening vents and doors (if weather permits). Avoid cooking or bringing wet items inside the tent.

• Water Leaking Through Fabric:

  Solution: Check for tears or punctures. Ensure all zippers are fully closed. The tent has a 3000mm water column rating, but extreme conditions or damage can lead to leaks. Consider applying a seam sealer or waterproofing spray to worn areas.

• Poles Difficult to Assemble/Disassemble:

  Solution: Ensure pole sections are clean and free of debris. Apply a small amount of silicone lubricant if needed. Do not force connections.

• Tent Not Standing Taut:

  Solution: Re-peg the tent, ensuring all corners are pulled tight. Adjust guy lines to apply even tension. Ensure poles are fully seated in their grommets.
