Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup is straightforward due to the integrated air-tube system. After pegging out the four corners, use the included manual air pump to inflate the frame to the recommended 9 psi/0.6 bar. The 'Floating Guyline System' reduces the number of pegs needed and minimizes trip hazards, while the 'Guyline Retainer System' keeps ropes organized during pack-down.
For care, always ensure the tent is completely dry before storing it in its carry bag. Because the tent uses polycotton, moisture left for extended periods can cause mildew. If the tent gets dirty, clean the fabric with a soft brush and clean water; avoid using harsh chemicals or machine washing. The tent is compatible with the optional Outwell Nightlight System, which can be easily attached to the internal HookTrack system to provide ambient lighting.
