CAUTION

 

VERY IMPORTANT

—Your tent must be completely dry before storage! 

Storing a wet or damp tent, even for a short time, will ruin it and void the 
warranty. This causes mildew and mold that will cause a bad odor, stain, and 
deteriorate the canvas and its water repellency. 

 

If you must take the tent down while still wet or damp, loosely roll it for 
transport. After transport, immediately unroll and set up or hang out to dry
