Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the tent, lay the floor flat and insert the pre-bent aluminum poles into the Quick Corner pockets at the four corners. Attach the tent clips along the pole structure, then drape the color-coded rain fly over the top, securing it to the corners and staking out the vestibule. To ensure the longevity of your tent, always shake off debris before packing and allow it to dry completely after any wet trip to prevent mildew. Store the tent loosely in a cool, dry place rather than leaving it compressed in the carry bag for long periods. If cleaning is required, use a soft sponge with mild soap and water; never put the tent in a washing machine.
