Summary

Preparation and First Use

Weatherproofing Your Tent

Tent material requires weathering to maximise weatherproofing by wetting and drying.

Seam Sealer

Special sewing thread used; cotton swells to fill holes. Seam sealer may be needed for persistent leaks.

Tent Suitability and Usage

Designed for light to moderate weather and touring use, not static or commercial.

Site Selection and Setup

Choosing a Campsite

Choose a flat, protected site. Clear sharp stones. Pitch doors away from wind. Avoid pitching under trees.

Tent Setup Procedure

Lay groundsheet, unpack, identify parts. Assemble porch pole, ensure poles are fully inserted.

Inflation Valve Care

Hold valve when unscrewing/replacing to prevent tube twist and premature failure.

Inner Tube Zip Warning

Never open inner tube zips when poles are inflated to prevent pole bursting.

Inflating AirPoles

Attach pump, inflate to 7 psi. Push poles upwards for correct shape. Tighten valve caps.

Pegging the Tent

Peg corners, re-peg as needed. Peg intermediate points ensuring sides are straight.

Attaching Front Canopy Pole

Thread the front canopy pole through the tent sleeve.

Installing Ridge Pole

Inflate central ridge pole, locate between front and middle poles. Attach velcro pads.

Installing Inner Tent

Suspend inner tent from colour-coded buckles. Attach remaining suspension points.

Using Guy Lines

Use all guy lines, peg taut without distorting shape. Adjust using runners. Peg in line with seams.

Care, Maintenance, and Safety

Pegging Advice

General purpose pegs provided. Consider different pegs for different ground. Drive pegs at 45° angle.

Managing Rain Leakage

Slight leakage possible, not a fault. Rectify by spot treating seams with sealant or spray.

UV Degradation

Prolonged sunlight weakens fabric. Use shaded sites for extended periods. UV degradation not covered by warranty.

Managing Condensation

Breathable material reduces condensation. Ensure all vents are open.

General Safety Precautions

Do not cook in the tent or use naked flames. Read fire precautions label.

Deflation Procedure

Close openings/blinds. Un-peg lines/points. Open valves. Expel air. Fold/roll towards valves. Store dry.

Tent Storage and Care

Store aired and dry in ventilated place. Wash with water/soft brush, no detergents.

AirPole Maintenance

AirPoles need no maintenance but protect from damage. Improper use/damage not covered by warranty.

Zip Care and Spares

Treat zips with care. Carry spares kit: waterproof spray, seam sealer, tape.

Tent Repairs

Use Kampa-recommended repairers. Unauthorized repairs may invalidate warranty.

Troubleshooting

Pumping Difficulty

Check valve is screwed in, tube is untwisted. Noise may indicate twisted tube.

Suspected Air Leak

Check valve screwed in, O-ring seal in place, top cap tight.

Suspected Water Leak

Check for condensation first. Increase ventilation. Do not cook in tent.

Water Leak at Specific Points

Tent needs weathering. Treat small areas with waterproofing spray if needed.

Puncture and Repair

Identifying a Puncture

Undo/re-attach valve, check for twists. Re-inflate. Check hose fittings. If problem persists, AirPole may be punctured.

Removing an AirPole

Unzip sleeve, remove AirPole. Unzip protective cover to expose tube. Locate puncture, submerge if needed.

Repairing Punctures
