2. Setup Instructions

Follow these steps for proper assembly of your CORE 10 Person Straight Wall Cabin Tent. It is recommended to perform a practice setup before your first camping trip.

1. Step 1: Unfold
   Set the tent on top of a footprint (if using) and unfold the tent flat on the ground.
2. Step 2: Press Buttons
   Locate the leg poles and press the buttons to extend them. Ensure all sections are fully locked.
3. Step 3: Extend Poles
   Extend all main tent poles. Important: Do not remove the elbow connectors that are tied to the top of the tent. These are integral to the tent structure and should remain attached.
4. Step 4: Unfold Tent
   Continue to unfold the tent body, lifting the center hub to raise the tent structure.
5. Step 5: Rainfly and Guylines
   Drape the full rainfly over the tent, ensuring it is correctly oriented. Attach the guylines to the designated points on the tent and stake them securely into the ground to provide stability and weather protection.

Secure all tent stakes (28 provided) around the base of the tent and for the guylines to ensure maximum stability, especially in windy conditions.

3. Operating Your Tent

Ventilation:

The tent features multiple fully zipped windows (6 total) that can be opened for cross-breeze ventilation during clear weather or closed to provide protection during rain. Proper ventilation helps reduce condensation inside the tent.

Room Divider:

Utilize the included room divider to create two separate areas within the tent for added privacy or organization. This is ideal for separating sleeping areas from a living space or for different groups.

Storage Pockets:

Two interior storage pockets are provided to keep small personal items organized and off the tent floor. One pocket features multiple compartments for enhanced organization.

Electrical Port:

An electrical port allows for convenient and safe routing of power cords into the tent for charging devices or powering small appliances.

4. Maintenance and Care

Cleaning:

• Hand Wash Only: Clean the tent using a soft sponge, mild soap, and lukewarm water. Do not use harsh detergents, bleach, or machine wash.
• Wipe down all surfaces, including the tent body, rainfly, and floor.
• Rinse thoroughly to remove all soap residue.

Drying:

• Always ensure the tent is completely dry before packing it away. Air dry in a shaded area to prevent UV damage.
• Packing a damp tent can lead to mildew, odor, and fabric degradation.

Storage:

• Store the tent in its carry bag in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Avoid storing heavy items on top of the packed tent.

5. Troubleshooting

Water Leakage:

• Check Rainfly Installation: Ensure the full rainfly is properly positioned and taut, diverting water away from the tent body.
• Secure Guylines: Make sure all guylines are staked out firmly to maintain the tent's shape and prevent water pooling.
• Seam Sealing: While the tent features sealed seams, inspect them periodically for wear. Re-apply seam sealer if necessary.
• Ground Protection: Use a ground tarp or footprint under the tent to prevent ground moisture intrusion, even though the tent floor is water-resistant.

Pole Issues:

• Frayed Elastic: If pole elastic cords become frayed or snap, contact CORE customer support for replacement parts.
• Bent Poles: Avoid excessive force during setup and takedown. If a pole bends, attempt to straighten it carefully or seek a replacement.

Condensation Inside Tent:

• Ensure adequate ventilation by opening windows or vents when weather permits.
• Avoid cooking or using unvented heaters inside the tent, as this significantly increases moisture.

Difficulty Packing:

• Due to its size, packing the tent can be challenging. Fold the tent neatly and roll it tightly to fit into the carry bag. Practice folding at home to improve efficiency.
