Verify that the USB-C power source is adequate and properly connected. Test the power source with another device. Ensure the light system cable is securely plugged in.

Condensation inside the tent.

Ensure adequate ventilation by opening mesh panels and vents. Avoid cooking inside the tent. Proper ventilation helps manage moisture buildup.

Ensure the groundsheet is properly pegged down and that no water is pooling around the edges. Check the integrity of the sewn-in groundsheet for any damage.
