Things You Should Know
• Under certain conditions (cold weather, high humidity, etc.)
condensation will form on the inside surfaces of your tent. Condensation is
caused by water vapor from your breath, perspiration, or any wet clothing
inside your tent. It is NOT LEAKAGE through the tent fabric. It can be
minimized by removing wet clothing from your tent and by providing good
ventilation through the tent.
• Never store tent, even for a short period of time, without drying it
thoroughly and brushing off caked dirt. Do not pack stakes or poles inside
your tent. Use a separate storage bag.
• STAKES SHOULD BE REMOVED BY PULLING ON THE STAKE ITSELF.
NEVER PULL ON THE TENT FABRIC OR TENT STAKE LOOP TO
REMOVE STAKE.
• TENT POLES SHOULD NOT BE LEFT TELESCOPED
TOGETHER DURING STORAGE.
• Do not leave your tent set-up for weeks at a time, be aware that
exposure to the ultraviolet rays of the sun can seriously damage material
and/or cause it to become discolored.
WARNING: KEEP ALL FLAME AND HEAT SOURCES
AWAY FROM THIS TENT FABRIC. This tent meets the
flammability requirements of CPAI-84. The fabric will burn
if left in continuous contact with any flame source. The
