TIPS AND TRICKS
Before leaving on your next adventure, check that your
tent is complete and free of damage. Check the tent poles
for cracks and burrs.
Appropriate ventilation can prevent condensation within
the tent. Vent the tent regularly by at least opening the
doors partially at the upper end.
To secure the pegs in loose earth, sand or snow, wrap
the tent cord around the center of the peg and bury it
horizontally. You can also use the packsack filled with
sand or snow, or use the Exped Snow and Sand Achors
available separately.
Note! Never light a stove in a tent as it is a fire hazard or
can lead to carbon monoxide poisoning.
When camping on sand or snow you can dig a trench in
the vestible. Cold air will sink into the trench. At the same
time it can be used to sit comfortably.
If you need more space in the vestibule, partially
unhook the canopy, leave your sleeping gear inside and
use it as a backrest for comfortable lounging.
Should your tent remain stationary over a longer period,
protect it from UV by placing a cheap tarp over it.
A tent footprint (available separately) protects the tent
floor from damage and can also reduce condensation
build up.

SET UP OPTIONS
Canopy on its own
Using the 2 long poles and a pair of tent cords you can
set up the canopy on its own as a ventilated shelter or
bug tent.
Undo the canopy from the rainfly. Thread both long
poles through the elastic loops and place the ends into
the webbing pockets for tension, then secure with
pegs. Attach a tent cord to the center of each pole and
tension the cord.
Canopy alone
Insert the poles into the pole sleeves (steps 3-5 of
setup) and secure with pegs. Align and deploy the
guylines. The optional footprint is and ideal ground
cover.

EXPED TENTS
Thank you for purchasing an EXPED tent.
Innovation, quality and refined details
distinguish them from all others.
With the Venus we differentiate between windward and
leeward sides for enhanced weather protection and
increased ventilation. The doors also face the leeward
side.
1Windward side (dark green cords). The rainfly
fabric reaches the ground and keeps wind, sand and
snow out.
2Leeward side (orange cords). A small gap
enhances ventilation.
3Pole sleeves The internal flat pole sleeves are color
and number coded for setup.
4Cord Stuffsacks prevent tangling of tent cords
during packing. Simply insert three fingers into the
Cord Stuffsack, wrap the tent cord around your fingers
and then turn the stuffsack inside out like with a pair of
socks.
5Guy lines For perfect setup there are numerous
pre-mounted guy lines attached to the tent. Our
Dyneema guy lines are reflective and buckles allow
stepless adjustment.
6Pole repair tubes are integrated in the supports
of the air vents and are immediately at hand when
required for repairs. (In the Venus UL placed in the
accessory bag)

1Lay out the combined
canopy and rainfly. The side
with the orange guy loops
facing downwind.
6Tension the rainfly using
the webbing straps. Secure
the tent corners with pegs.
8Place a peg in the
loops of the guy lines and
tension.
7Apply the guy lines
found on the pole sleeves
in a star shaped configu-
ration when seen from
above.
SET UP
3First insert the 2 long
poles in the color coded
pole sleeves No. 1+2 until
they curve.
5Insert the short ridge
pole into the color coded
sleeve No. 3 until it curves.
Insert the end into the
webbing pocket and pull
tight.
4Secure the pole tips into
the grommets.
2Secure the head end
with 2 pegs (dark green guy
loops).
Note! Optimal stability is achieved only when the tent
is tensioned properly. Nylon fabrics absorb moisture,
expanding the fabric, which will contract again when
dry. Please re-tension the tent when necessary.
TEARDOWN
Clean out the tent and close the zippers leaving
a 10 cm gap. Note! Normally, the canopy and rainfly
remain attached. For tear down in rain, the canopy
can be disassembled and packed away dry. For
the next setup, set up the rainfly first and then mount
the canopy.
1Remove all pegs and
release the tent cords.
The pegs are stored in the
accessory bag.
2First, release tension
on the ridge pole and
push it out of the sleeve
(never pull).
3Next, release tension
on the main poles and
push them out of the
sleeves (never pull).
4Carefully disassemble
the poles and place them
in the pole sack.
