Troubleshooting
Tent is leaking
Ensure all seams are properly sealed. Check the waterproof rating of the flysheet and groundsheet. Re-apply seam sealant if necessary. Make sure the tent is pitched correctly and the fabric is taut.
Condensation inside the tent
Improve ventilation by opening vents or leaving the inner tent door slightly ajar if weather permits. Ensure there are no gaps where warm, moist air can enter and cool. Avoid cooking inside the tent.
Poles are difficult to insert
Ensure the poles are aligned correctly with the sleeves. Do not force the poles; check for any obstructions or kinks in the pole sections. Ensure the tent is pitched with enough slack to allow for pole bending.
Tent fabric is developing mildew
This occurs due to improper drying before storage. Clean the affected areas gently with a mild soap and water solution, rinse thoroughly, and ensure the tent is completely dry before storing it again.
