Troubleshooting
Tent not inflating fully
Ensure the valve is fully open and the pump is securely attached. Check for any obstructions in the valve or tube. Do not exceed the maximum pressure of 9 psi/0.6 bar.
Condensation inside the tent
Improve ventilation by opening mesh panels and vents, especially in the bedrooms. Ensure cooking is done outside the main tent area.
Water ingress through seams
Check that all seams are properly taped and sealed. Minor leaks can sometimes be resolved with seam sealer. Ensure the hydrostatic head of 4000mm is not exceeded by prolonged extreme weather.
Difficult to pack down
Ensure all air is completely released from the tubes. Fold the tent systematically, starting from the edges and working towards the center, similar to how it was packed initially. Ensure it is completely dry.
