Frequently Asked Questions - Huntsville Dome Easy Camp

How do I set up the Huntsville Dome tent?

Start by spreading the flysheet on clean, even ground. Assemble the fiberglass poles and push them through the color-coded sleeves. Raise the tent by placing pole ends over the pins in the rings; a person inside can help lift the poles. Fasten the flysheet hooks to the poles. Peg down through the metal and elastic rings using a mallet, then spread and attach the floor inside with straps and Velcro. Finally, hang the sleeping cabin using straps and attach to the floor with hooks.

How can I prevent condensation inside the tent?

Condensation is not leakage. To reduce it, increase ventilation by opening vents or doors, remove wet clothes and gear, and set up the tent on an Easy Camp Footprint. Avoid touching the inside of the flysheet in rainy weather.

How do I clean and maintain the tent?

Clean with a soft sponge and pure water only. Never use a washing machine or dry cleaning. Allow the tent to dry completely before storage to prevent mildew. Lightly grease metal poles with non-acidic oil after use. Reapply seam sealer to zips and toggles regularly.

What should I do if the tent seams leak?

The flysheet is waterproof, but seams around zips and toggles can weaken. Apply seam sealer and waterproof spray to these areas. If tape comes off due to UV exposure, remove loose tape and reseal with seam sealer and spray.

Can I use insecticides inside the tent?

No. Insecticides can damage the fabric and coating. Avoid spraying any insecticides in or on the tent.

How do I pack down the tent?

First, remove and clean the groundsheet if needed. If the inner tent is wet or dirty, take it out and clean it. Unpeg the tent and guylines, release the poles from the rings, and gently push (never pull) the poles through the sleeves. Fold the tent so metal eyelets are together to prevent damage. Roll the tent around the pole bag and fit into the carrybag.

What precautions should I take in strong wind?

Replace normal pegs with storm pegs. Do not over-tighten the tent; it needs to flex with wind. Use all guy lines and pegs. For hard ground, use stronger U-form pegs. Never use guy lines to pull out pegs.

How do I attach the sleeping cabin?

After setting up the flysheet and floor, hang the sleeping cabin using the provided straps with rings. Then attach the cabin to the floor with the hooks at the bottom.

Is the tent waterproof?

The flysheet is made of waterproof material. However, avoid touching the inside surface during rain to prevent seepage. Seams around zips and toggles may need periodic seam sealer treatment to maintain waterproofness.

How many people can sleep in this tent?

The Huntsville Dome is designed for approximately 2 persons. It includes a detachable sleeping cabin, which is best suited for two.

USER MANUAL Huntsville Dome Easy Camp

This tent should be erected by at least two people!

1. When unpacking the tent, it is a good idea to familiarise yourself with how it should be repacked.
2. Spread out the flysheet on an area that is as even and clean as possible.
3. Assemble the fibreglass poles and push them through the sleeves marked with colour. The tent can now be raised by placing the ends of the poles down over the pins fastened in the rings. This is easier if a person inside the tent lifts up the poles in the centre. Then fasten the hooks on the flysheet to the poles.
4. Position the tent as required. Peg it down through the metal and elastic rings. Use a mallet to secure the pegs in the ground but be careful of your hands and feet when hitting the peg.
5. Spread out the tent floor inside the tent and attach it to the flysheet by using the straps with rings and the Velcro provided for the purpose. Peg down the tent floor.
6. The sleeping cabin can now be hung in the tent, using the straps with rings provided for the purpose and then attach the cabin to the floor with the hooks.
7. Secure the tent against strong winds with guylines and pegs.

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.

Condensation should not be confused with leakage

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 an Easy Camp® Footprint.

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 guy-lines 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.

Unpeg the tent and the guylines. Release the ends of the poles and then gently push the poles through the sleeves. Do not pull the poles! Fold the tent so you have all metal eyelets or pins/rings at one side to prevent them from damaging 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 Easy Camp carrybag.
