ROBENS PRS Twin Summit Shelter

Congratulations!

Congratulations on your new Robens shelter, designed and created to accompany you out into the great outdoors!

Note how everything is packed together when you open the transport sack and pull out the tent. This will make it easier to pack away again.

It is Highly recommended to be at least 2 persons to pitch the shelter

Setting up the shelter

Assemble the poles and adjust them to the desired height
Spread out the shelter and locate the two centre guylines on one of the end sections
Peg out the two guylines at as long distance as away from the shelter possible.
The guylines should follow the direction of the sewing line from the shelter top, to each guyline
Now bring in one of the shelter poles and place it, pin down, at the closest reinforced top, and tilt it so it can remain standing Now do the the same with the second pole in the opposite reinforced top, while grabbing the corresponding two centre guylines
Peg out the two guylines.
Make sure that the guylines are not tightened before the two tarp poles has been placed completely upright
After adjusting poles and the four guylines, peg out the remaining guylines and adjust for equal tension

In heavy winds we recommend taking down the shelter, for safety reasons

Cleaning and maintenance tips

Get the most out of your camping trip by having a trial run, putting up and taking down your new tent in order to know it before you use it for the first time.

Under certain weather conditions, condensation can occur on the inside surfaces of your tent. To help prevent this you must remove wet clothes etc., increase ventilation or erect your tent on a PVC mat.

Be aware that (UV) ultraviolet rays will damage your tent if you expose it to direct sunlight for longer periods of time. Robens Products are made for camping use which is normally 2-5 weeks usage a year. They are not designed for permanent usage and should only be used as camping products. Camping near the sea or lake can further enhance the effect of UV radiation. The same applies to poles and metal parts.

Condensation should not be confused with leakage
The flysheet is made of waterproof material. To prevent water from seeping through the flysheet avoid touching the inside surface in rainy weather conditions.

When erecting your tent, do not secure it too tightly, otherwise it will not be able to adapt to varying wind and weather conditions.

If strong winds are expected, replace the normal tent pegs with storm pegs. Do not use guylines to pull out the tent pegs. For stony or hard ground stronger U-form pegs are recommended.

Insecticides must not be sprayed in or on the tent as they may damage the fabric and coating!
When taking down and packing the tent, it must be completely dry to avoid mildew/rotting. We recommend that after use all metal poles be lightly greased with a nonacidic oil.

Remove dirt from the tent with a soft sponge and pure water. Never wash the tent in a washing machine and never have it dry-cleaned.

Store the tent in a dry place.

Even though we have used special waterproof thread for all seams, we recommend that you use a seam sealer or a waterproof spray at regular intervals for all seams around the zips and toggles, these seams are some of the weaker points on your tent as there can be a lot of tension around them.

Please note that the tape may come off after prolonged exposure to the sun. If this happens you can repair your tent by removing loose tape and use a seam sealer and waterproof spray to re-seal seams. Be aware that (UV) ultraviolet rays will damage your tent if you expose it to direct sunlight for longer periods of time.

If your tent has a mud valance never use it to adjust the tent or use the mud valance to pull the tent pegs out. The mud valance is one of the weaker points on the tent as it is only designed to keep wind and water out of the living and storage area.

Taking down your tent

When detachable take out the groundsheet and clean it if necessary with a sponge and water. Clean dirty floors the same way. (Allow it to dry before packing the tent).
If the inner tent is wet or dirty, take it out and clean it, the tent can be packed down with or without the inner tent inside.

Then start to unpeg the tent and the guylines. Gently remove the poles from the pins and then gently push the poles through the sleeves. Do not pull the poles through!
You are now ready to fold the tent. Try to fold it so you have all metal pins/ rings at one side (to prevent them from making holes in the flysheet).

When you have folded the tent, measure it with the carrybag to make sure it is not too wide. You should now be able to roll the tent round the poles in their pole bag and fit it into the Robens carrybag.
