FAQs
Can I use this footprint with other tent models?
This footprint is specifically cut for the Outwell Charleston 7 Air TC and may not provide optimal fit or protection for other tent models.
Do I really need a footprint?
While optional, it is highly recommended to protect your tent's sewn-in groundsheet from punctures and to keep the underside of your tent clean.
How do I clean the footprint?
Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt or a damp cloth with mild soap for more stubborn debris. Always air dry completely before storing.
Does the footprint go under the tent or inside it?
It is designed to be placed on the ground underneath the tent to act as a protective barrier against the earth.
Is the material waterproof?
Yes, the double-coated polyethylene provides a waterproof barrier against moisture from the ground.
Troubleshooting
Footprint is shifting during high winds
Ensure all provided pegs are driven firmly into the ground at an angle through the designated pegging points.
Water pooling between the tent and footprint
Verify that the footprint is not sticking out beyond the edge of the tent flysheet; tuck any protruding edges under the tent.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Extends the lifespan of the tent groundsheet by preventing wear and tear.
- Provides a protective buffer against sharp rocks, sticks, and tree sap.
- Reduces heat loss through the floor for better interior insulation.
- Custom sizing ensures no water pooling under the tent.
- Easy to clean and keeps the tent underside mud-free.
Cons
- Adds an extra step to your tent pitching and packing routine.
- Requires proper folding to fit back into the carrybag.
- Must be kept dry before storage to prevent mildew.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your footprint, clear your pitch of large branches or sharp objects. Unfold the footprint, peg it down using the included pegs, and then lay your Charleston 7 Air TC on top. Ensure the edges of the footprint are tucked slightly underneath the tent so that any rainwater falling from the flysheet drips directly onto the ground, rather than running onto the footprint itself.
Compatibility is strictly limited to the Outwell Charleston 7 Air TC model to ensure the footprint does not extend beyond the tent's footprint. After use, ensure the footprint is completely dry before folding it to avoid mold growth. If the surface is excessively muddy, hose it down and allow it to air dry thoroughly before packing it into the included carrybag.
