Troubleshooting
Tent is difficult to pitch alone
This tent is best pitched with at least two people. Follow the colour-coded pole system carefully and ensure poles are fully inserted before raising the structure.
Condensation inside the tent
Ensure adequate ventilation by opening windows and doors slightly. Avoid cooking inside the tent, and ensure all vents are clear of obstructions.
Groundsheet is damp or wet
While the groundsheet is sewn-in, ensure the tent is pitched on a level surface and that water runoff from guylines does not pool around the base. Always dry the tent thoroughly before packing.
Fibreglass pole section is damaged
Minor cracks can be temporarily repaired with durable tape. For significant damage, contact the manufacturer or a specialist retailer for replacement pole sections.
