Frequently Asked Questions

• Are replacement parts available? Yes, just call Customer Service at 1- 888-775-5628 for replacement parts. All parts can be replaced.
• How do I get everything back in the bag? The trick is to take your time and remove all the air. Use the weight of the poles to roll the tent on the ground and force air out.
• What are the ground vents? The ground vents are designed to help with air flow throughout the tent, which keeps the tent cooler in warm weather and prevent condensation. It can be staked shut in colder weather.
• How to clean the tent? Clean the tent with a soft sponge, mild soap and tepid water. Be sure to scrub gently and remove all soap. Let dry in sunlight, which also naturally cleans the tent.
• What is the wall plug symbol? That is a port for an electrical cord to access your tent. The electrical cord can be used on a campsite with power or with a generator outside your tent. It closes fully when not in use.
• Can the tent be used in the rain? Absolutely. The tent and rainfly have a water resistent treatment, and the seams have been sealed with water resistent tape at the factory.
• How many seasons is this tent? This is a 2-3 season tent, not recommended for use in severe weather conditions.
• What are the dimensions of the tent? The tent is 14 ft x 9 ft x 78 in (4.26 m x 2.74 m x 1.98 m).
• What are the ceiling panels? These zippable panels allow you to customize both your light and ventilation. Having them open will allow light into your tent during the day, and increase ventilation. Keeping them closed will keep the inner tent dark and warm on those cool nights at the campsite.
