TROUBLESHOOTING
Solution
This is caused by lower temperatures on the outside of the tent combined with body heat on the inside of the
tent. When this occurs avoid touching walls to reduce contact leakage. Leaving the door and windows open will
reduce condensation of moisture.
To protect against seam leakage, apply a generous amount of seam sealer on interior of leaking seams.
To avoid mildew, never put your tent away wet or damp. However, if mildew occurs, use a soft bristle brush or
sponge with mild dish washing soap or Fels Naphtha soap to clean. Let the tent dry in the sunlight and apply
seam sealer compound on inside seams.
For small tears use a self-adhesive patch kit. We recommend a canvas or awning repair shop for larger tears.
A ground cloth under the tent prevents the floor from feeling damp and helps prolong its life. The cloth should
be smaller than the tent floor to prevent rain from running under the tent.
Stake should be pulled with another stake, hammer or stake puller, but never by pulling on the tent. Avoid
staking tent so tight that it stretches the fabric. Over stretching may cause stake loops to tear.
