Troubleshooting
Tent is difficult to pitch tautly.
Ensure poles are correctly inserted and that all guy lines are fully extended and pegged securely. Check that the tent is pitched on level ground.
Water ingress during rain.
Confirm that all seams are sealed and that the flysheet is pitched correctly with adequate tension. Ensure the optional footprint (if used) is not trapping water underneath.
Condensation inside the tent.
Increase ventilation by opening the vents or doors slightly, weather permitting. Avoid cooking inside the tent. Ensure sleeping bags and gear are not pressed directly against the flysheet.
