Setup Instructions
Follow these steps to correctly set up your inflatable tent. It is recommended to practice pitching the tent in a familiar environment before your first trip.
- Unpack and Lay Out: Remove the tent from its carry bag and lay it flat on the ground in your desired pitching location. Ensure the ground is clear of sharp objects.
- Connect the Pump: Locate the inflation valves on the tent's inflatable beams. Connect a compatible pump (not included) to the valve.
- Inflate the Beams: Begin inflating the air beams. The tent will start to take shape as the beams fill with air. Inflate until the beams are firm but not over-inflated. Refer to the recommended pressure if indicated on the tent or pump.
- Secure with Pegs: Once the tent is fully inflated and standing, secure all guylines and pegging points to the ground using the provided pegs. This ensures stability, especially in windy conditions.
- Attach Bedroom (if separate): If the inner bedroom is not pre-attached, clip it into place inside the main tent structure.
- Adjust Guylines: Adjust the tension of the guylines to ensure the tent is taut and stable.

Maintenance
Proper maintenance will extend the life of your tent and ensure its performance.
- Cleaning: Clean the tent with a soft brush and water only. Do not use detergents or harsh chemicals, as they can damage the fabric's waterproofing.

- Storage: Store the tent in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Repair: For small punctures or tears, use a tent repair kit. For larger damage, contact Decathlon customer service or a professional repair service.

Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Tent not standing firm after inflation | Insufficient inflation or loose guylines/pegs. | Ensure air beams are fully inflated to recommended pressure. Check and tighten all guylines and re-peg if necessary. |
| Condensation inside the tent | Poor ventilation, high humidity, or temperature difference. | Increase ventilation by opening vents and windows. Ensure adequate airflow. |
| Water leaking through fabric | Damage to waterproofing or seam tape. | Inspect for tears or worn areas. Apply seam sealer or repair patch. Ensure all zippers are fully closed. |
| Difficulty packing the tent | Air not fully expelled, or not folded correctly. | Ensure all valves are open and air is fully squeezed out. Fold the tent systematically to match the original packed size. |
