Troubleshooting

Ensure poles are correctly inserted into sleeves and secured with the pin-and-ring system. Lay out the tent flat before inserting poles. Consult the setup diagram if provided.
Water is leaking into the tent
Verify that all seams are properly taped. Check that the groundsheet is correctly positioned. Ensure guy ropes are taut to maintain fabric tension and water runoff. Reapply seam sealer if necessary.
Tent is not stable in wind
Ensure all stakes are driven firmly into the ground at an angle. Use all available guy ropes and tension them appropriately. Choose a sheltered location if possible.
Condensation inside the tent
Improve ventilation by opening windows slightly. Reduce the number of occupants if the tent is consistently humid. Avoid cooking inside the tent.
Fabric smells damp or musty
Air out the tent completely in a dry, well-ventilated area. If mildew has formed, clean with a mild soap and water solution, then dry thoroughly before storage.
