Troubleshooting
Tent leaks during rain
Ensure all seams are properly taped. Check the hydrostatic head rating and consider re-applying a waterproofing treatment to the flysheet and floor. Ensure guylines are taut to maintain fabric tension and water runoff.
Condensation inside the tent
Improve ventilation by opening the front vents fully. Avoid blocking vents with gear. Ensure no cooking is done inside the tent. Drying the inner tent thoroughly before packing can also help.
Poles are difficult to insert or remove
Check that the poles are correctly aligned and not bent. Ensure the elastic cord inside the poles is not snagged. Apply a small amount of silicone lubricant to pole ends if they feel stiff.
Carry bag buckles are difficult to fasten
Ensure the buckles are clean and free from debris. Check that the strap is threaded correctly through the buckle mechanism.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Rondane 3 is a 'flysheet first' or 'all-in-one' pitching tent, meaning the inner tent is pitched first, followed by the flysheet. This process is designed to take approximately 5 minutes. Ensure poles are correctly inserted into their sleeves and guylines are tensioned for stability.
Compatibility: This tent is designed for 3 people and is primarily intended for camping, trekking, and cycling tours in temperate conditions. It is compatible with standard camping equipment. The included waterproof carry bag is specifically designed for bicycle attachment.
Care: To maintain the tent's performance:
- Always dry the tent thoroughly before storing to prevent mildew and fabric damage.
- Clean the fabric with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary; avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing.
- Re-apply a suitable waterproofing treatment to the flysheet and floor periodically, especially after extended use or cleaning, to maintain water repellency.
- Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
- Check guylines and pole integrity before each trip.
