Condensation
All awning tents suffer from internal condensation if
one or more of the following conditions apply:
• High air humidity

Severe condensation can run down the inside of
the roof and drip off ties, tapes and other internal
fittings and can be mistaken for leaking.
➤Increase ventilation by opening doors and/or
windows.
➤Install a waterproof groundsheet.
Repairing a puncture in the air pole

1. Unzip the outer sleeve holding the air pole.
2. Remove the air pole.
3. Unzip the protective sleeve to expose the

5. Blow some air into the inflatable tube to locate
the puncture.
6. Use repair tape and repair solution to seal the
hole.
7. Zip the inflatable tube back into the protective
sleeve.
