TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
PROBLEM SOLUTION
1. CONDENSATION
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 DOORS
AND WINDOWS OPEN WILL REDUCE CONDENSATION OF MOISTURE .
2. SEAM LEAKAGE TO PROTECT AGAINST SEAM LEAKAGE,APPLY A GENEROUS AMOUNT OF SEAM SEALER
ON ALL INTERIOR SEAMS.
3. MILDEW 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 NAPTHA SOAP TO CLEAN. LET THE TENT DRY IN THE
SUNLIGHT AND APPLY SEAM SEALER COMPOUND ON INSIDE SEAMS.
4. REPAIRING A TEAR FOR SMALL TEARS USE A SELF-ADHESIVE PATCH KIT.WE RECOMMEND A CANVAS
OR AWNING REPAIR SHOP FOR LARGER TEARS.
5. FAULTY ZIPPER ALL OF OUR TENTS ARE MANUFACTURED WITH ZIPPERS WHICH,IF THE ZIPPER
SEPARATES,CAN BE FIXED BY MOVING THE SLIDER TO THE BEGINNING OF THE ZIPPER
TAPE AND REWORKING THE ZIPPER. IF THIS DOESN’T WORK,A REPLACEMENT ZIPPER
MAY BE ORDERED FROM OUR PARTS DEPARTMENT, AND MAY BE INSTALLED BY A LOCAL
CANVAS OR AWNING REPAIR SHOP IN YOUR AREA.
6. FLOOR CONDENSATION 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.
7. REMOVING STAKES 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.OVERSTRETCHING MAY CAUSE STAKE LOOPS TO TEAR.
