Troubleshooting
Tent is difficult to pitch.
Ensure the AirBeam® is fully inflated and the flysheet is correctly oriented. Review the setup instructions for proper pegging and guying.
Condensation inside the tent.
Ensure all vents are open for adequate airflow. Check that the inner tent is not touching the flysheet, and adjust the guy lines for better ventilation.
Leaks during rain.
