Troubleshooting
Tent is difficult to pitch.
Ensure poles are fully inserted into their connectors and that the flysheet is oriented correctly before securing.
Water ingress during heavy rain.
Check that all seams are sealed, guylines are taut for proper water runoff, and the groundsheet is not submerged.
Condensation inside the tent.
Improve ventilation by opening vents on the flysheet, using the inner tent on its own in dry weather, or ensuring there are no blockages to the breathable fabric.
Poles seem weak or damaged.
Inspect poles for cracks or splits. Contact the manufacturer for replacement parts if necessary.
