I
NOTE
• The tent comes with general purpose pegs. These will
be suitable for many sites but for some types of ground
special pegs will be needed. Ask your dealer.
• Drive the pegs at a 45° angle away from the tent into the
ground.
Keep the following tips in mind while setting up the tent:
• The figures provide a general overview of the set-up. The actual set-up
will vary slightly based on the model of tent.
• Get help. The set-up is easier with more people.
• After standing the tent upright, check the corner pegs and re-peg if
necessary. The groundsheet on the inside should be taut and in a
rectangular shape.
• If available, attach the storm straps.
Set up the tent as follows:
1. To protect the tent from dirt and damage, lay down a groundsheet or
footprint before unpacking.
2. Unpack the tent.
3. Separate and identify the different components.
4. Proceed as shown to set up the tent ( fig. 2, page 3 to fig. 8,
page 4).

Severe condensation can run down the inside of the roof, drip off internal
fittings and can be mistaken for leaking.
