Troubleshooting
Excessive condensation build-up inside
Ensure the integrated ventilation shaft is fully open and consider slightly loosening one corner to improve cross-breeze.
Shelter feels unstable in high winds
Ensure all occupants are sitting firmly on the internal floor edges to weigh the shelter down, and use a trekking pole in the roof recess for better tension.
