Troubleshooting
Tent is leaking during rain.
Ensure the rainfly is properly attached and taut. Check that all taped seams are intact. If leaks persist, consider using a seam sealer or a waterproofing spray on the fabric.
Difficulty setting up the tent.
Review the setup instructions and ensure poles are correctly inserted into their sleeves or clips. Ensure the tent is laid out flat before inserting poles. For initial setup, it's helpful to have a second person assist.
Mesh screens have holes.
Small tears in mesh can sometimes be repaired with a fabric patch or special mesh repair tape. Contact customer support if the damage is significant.
Tent interior feels damp or humid.
Improve ventilation by opening mesh windows or ensuring the rainfly is not sealed too tightly against the tent body. Make sure the ground sheet is properly in place to prevent ground moisture.
Tent fabric smells musty.
This usually indicates it was stored while damp. Air the tent out thoroughly in sunlight. Clean with a mild solution and ensure it is completely dry before storing again.
