Preparation and Set Up

• Always set up the tent on raised ground, away from trees with heavy snow or open fire sources.
• Plan to finish set up before nightfall.
• To keep the base clean, use a protective groundsheet.
• In high winds, reinforce with extra stakes and guy ropes.
• Use the supplied rainfly against rain, snow, or sun. An awning can be created with additional poles (sold separately), but it will only cover part of the tent.

Operating Temperature

• Suitable for outdoor use between 5 °F and 104 °F.
• PVC hardens in sub-zero temperatures — the floor and beams become stiff, making folding more difficult. This is normal.
• Choose sleeping bags with the correct temperature rating and add insulating pads for comfort.

Heating & Insulation

• A roof outlet is provided for a wood stove. Only use stoves with spark arrestors. Safe electric heaters are permitted. Never use open flames.
• Ventilate properly to avoid carbon monoxide accumulation.
• If fitted, use the partition to concentrate heat in the sleeping zone.
• Keep TPU windows closed for warmth, opening them briefly to ventilate.
• Improve insulation by covering the floor with carpets, blankets, or mats.

Air Pressure & Frame

• Air pressure drops in freezing weather — check and inflate regularly.
• Confirm that all valves are closed securely.

Condensation and Humidity

Condensation is natural, similar to window fog. The higher the waterproof rating, the more it appears.

Our Terylene cotton fabric greatly reduces condensation:

– Keep vents partly open.

– Raise indoor temperature slowly.

– Place a groundsheet under the tent.

– Select sites with lower humidity.

– Dry the tent fully before packing it away.

Protection Against Rain & Snow

• The tent resists moderate rainfall for 4–5 hours. In light or occasional showers, the rainfly is not required.
• For long-lasting rain, always install the supplied rainfly.
• After precipitation, remove the rainfly for better airflow and to avoid condensation.
• Pre-fix or roll the rainfly on one side for fast set up when rain persists.
• During snowfall, install the rainfly immediately. Snow buildup on fabric increases the risk of moisture.
• Clear accumulated snow from the roof often.
• If zippers freeze, thaw gently with your hands or water — do not force.
• After winter use, ensure the tent is dried completely before storage.

Folding & Storage

• Cold makes PVC and fabric stiff, so folding is more difficult.
• Deflate the tent fully before packing.
• Dry thoroughly in a ventilated space and store only when dry.

• Care and Maintenance

• Avoid wearing boots inside.
• Keep sharp objects away from walls and flooring.
• Keep the tent away from chemicals or flammable substances.
• Mold and continuous UV exposure shorten lifespan — keep the tent clean and protected.
• Reduce direct sunlight exposure; use the rainfly if required.

⚠️  Fire Safety Precautions

• Handle electrical devices with care.
• Keep the entrance clear for emergency exits.
• Have a fire extinguisher or other fire-suppression tool nearby.
• Keep fireworks and similar items away from children around the tent.
