4. Setup Instructions
The CORE Instant Cabin Tent is designed for a quick and easy setup, typically within 2 minutes.
- Unfold the Tent: Lay the tent body flat on your chosen campsite, ensuring the floor is spread out evenly.
- Extend Poles: Extend the pre-attached poles until they are fully straight.
- Lock Poles into Place: Lift the center hub and extend each leg of the tent until the poles click and lock into their upright position. This forms the tent's frame.
- Attach Rainfly: Drape the rainfly over the tent. Secure it by attaching the buckles or clips on the rainfly to the corresponding points on the tent body. Extend and stake out the attached guylines for added stability and weather protection.
- Stake the Tent: Secure the tent corners and all guylines to the ground using the provided tent stakes. Ensure stakes are angled away from the tent for maximum hold.
- Optional Room Divider: If desired, attach the room divider inside the tent to create two separate rooms.
5. Operating Instructions
5.1. Built-in LED Lighting System
The tent features integrated LED lights within the ceiling poles, controlled by a wall-mounted switch.
- Install Batteries: Open the battery compartment (located near the light switch) and insert 4D batteries (not included), ensuring correct polarity.
- Locate Switch: The wall-mounted light switch is accessible from both the inside and outside of the tent.
- Select Mode: Press the switch to cycle through the three lighting modes: High (brightest illumination), Low (reduced brightness), and Night Light (soft, ambient glow). The light-diffusing fabric ensures even illumination.

Utilize the included room divider to create two distinct living or sleeping areas within the tent for added privacy.
5.4. Electrical Cord Access Port

6. Maintenance and Care
- Cleaning: Hand wash the tent fabric with mild soap and water. Do not use harsh detergents, bleach, or machine wash. Rinse thoroughly.
- Drying: Always ensure the tent is completely dry before packing it away to prevent mildew and fabric degradation. Air dry in a shaded area.
- Inspection: Regularly inspect poles for damage, fabric for tears, and zippers for smooth operation. Repair minor issues promptly to extend the tent's lifespan.
- Stakes: Clean stakes after each use and store them in their designated bag.
7. Storage
After cleaning and ensuring the tent is completely dry, fold it neatly and place it into the carry bag. Store the tent in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Avoid storing heavy items on top of the tent bag.
8. Troubleshooting
- Tent Not Standing Firmly: Ensure all poles are fully extended and locked into place. Verify that all stakes are securely driven into the ground and guylines are taut.
- LED Lights Not Working: Check if 4D batteries are correctly installed in the battery compartment and are not depleted. Ensure the light switch is pressed firmly.
- Water Leakage: Confirm the rainfly is correctly positioned and fully extended over the tent, with all guylines staked out. Check for any tears in the fabric or seam tape.
- Condensation Inside Tent: Increase ventilation by opening lower vents and adjusting window coverings. Ensure the mesh ceiling is clear.
