Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Rondane 2 is designed for an 'inner tent first' pitching method. Unpack the inner tent and poles, assemble the aluminium poles, and insert them into the pole sleeves. Attach the inner tent to the poles. Then, drape the flysheet over the inner tent and secure it. Peg out the tent and tension guy lines for stability. The complete setup is designed to take approximately 4 minutes.
Compatibility: This tent is primarily designed for use with bicycles, featuring specific attachment points on its carry bag. It is suitable for hiking and trekking where weight and pack size are critical factors. Ensure any additional gear you plan to store in the porch fits the dimensions (Living area: 1450 x 2200 mm).
Care: To maintain the tent's performance and lifespan:
- Always allow the tent to dry thoroughly before storing to prevent mold and mildew.
- Clean the tent fabric with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
- Store the tent in a cool, dry place, preferably in its original carry bag.
- Periodically check pole sections for damage and ensure shock cord is intact.
- Re-apply waterproofing treatments if necessary, especially to the flysheet and floor, after several uses.
- Ensure zippers are clean and lubricated for smooth operation.
