Frequently Asked Questions - HUB 2 DOMETIC

How to inflate the HUB 2 tent?

Use the supplied manual pump. Inflate the air tubes until reaching the green zone on the manometer (9 psi / 0.62 bar). Do not use a tire compressor.

Can I use a stove or barbecue inside the tent?

No, it is dangerous. Carbon monoxide from fuel-burning appliances can accumulate and cause fatal poisoning. Never cook inside.

How to deflate and store the tent?

Open the outlet valves, wait until almost all air has escaped, then fold or roll the tent toward the valves to expel remaining air. Make sure the tent is clean and dry before storing it in the carry bag.

What to do if an air tube leaks?

Locate the puncture by immersing the tube in water. Use repair tape and repair solution to seal the hole. Follow the steps detailed in the manual.

How to set up the tent on hard ground?

Use pegs suitable for the ground type. For hard ground, consult your retailer. Drive the pegs at a 45° angle to the tent and tension the guy lines.

Is the tent waterproof?

Yes, but condensation may occur. If leaks appear, check the seams and apply a sealant. First exposures to water may wet the seams, which is normal.

Can I use a cassette awning with this tent?

Yes, if you use a cassette awning, support it during installation to avoid overloading it. After fixing, fully retract the awning into its housing.

How to clean the tent?

Clean with clean water and a soft brush. Do not use chemicals, alcohol, or detergents. Apply a waterproof and UV treatment before each trip.

What accessories are available for the HUB 2?

You can add an inner tent (ref. 9120001983), a PVC or mesh window, a connection tunnel, or a ground footprint. Consult the manual for item numbers.

What to do if the tent does not inflate correctly?

Check that the valve is properly screwed in and that the inflation tube is not twisted. Make sure the isolation valves between the air tubes are open. If the manual pump does not work, check its condition.

General safety instructions

DANGER! Failure to obey this instruction will cause death or serious injury. Hazard of carbon monoxide poisoning

- Never use a fuel-burning appliance such as barbecues or gas heaters inside the tent. The burning process produces carbon monoxide which accumulates inside the tent as there is no flue.

Using the tent

CAUTION! Risk of injury

Never open the zipper on the protective sleeve while an air pole is inflatable. This will result in the air pole bursting.

Before first use

Familiarize yourself with the product by carrying out a test set up before the product is used for the first time. Check if the scope of delivery is complete.

Choosing a site

Choose a flat site that is protected from wind:

1. If necessary, use a windbreak.
2. Choose a shaded site to avoid UV degradation of the fabric.
3. Avoid pitching under trees as falling branches, resin, etc. can damage the product.
4. Clear the site of sharp stones and debris to avoid damaging the groundsheet.
5. Set up the product with the doors facing away from the wind.

Setting up the tent

CAUTION! Risk of injury and material damage

• Do not use any type of compressor designed to inflate car tires.
• Only inflate the air poles into the green zone of the pressure gauge of the supplied hand pump (9 psi/0.62 bar).

NOTICE! Material damage

• Do not open or close the zippers by force.
• If a cassette awning is used to attach the tent, support the cassette awning while working to avoid putting too much stress on it. After attaching the tent, rewind the cassette awning fully back into its housing.

NOTE

• The tent comes with heavy duty pegs. These will be suitable for many sites but for some types of ground special pegs will be needed. Ask your dealer.
• Drive the pegs at a 45^ angle away from the tent into the ground.
• Peg each guy line in-line with the seam it starts from.

Keep the following tips in mind while setting up the tent:

• The figures provide a general overview of the set-up. The actual set-up will vary slightly based on the model of tent.
• Get help. The set-up is easier with more people.
• After standing the tent upright, check the corner pegs and re-peg if necessary. The groundsheet on the inside should be taut and in a rectangular shape.
• Peg the guy lines so that the tent is under tension without distorting the shape.
• If available, attach the storm straps.

- Check the guy lines from time to time to ensure adequate tension, if necessary use the runners to adjust.

Set up the tent as follows:

1. To protect the tent from dirt and damage, lay down a groundsheet or footprint before unpacking.
2. Unpack the tent.
3. Separate and identify the different components.
4. Proceed as shown to set up the tent (fig. 2, page 3 to fig. 9, page 4).

Set up the accessories as follows:

1. To protect the accessories from dirt and damage, lay down a ground-sheet or footprint before unpacking.
2. Unpack the accessories.
3. Separate and identify the different components.
4. Proceed as shown to set up the accessories (fig. 10, page 5 to fig. 26, page 10).

Problem Solution

Tent only inflates with difficulties	▶ Check that the valve is fully screwed into the air pole. ▶ Check if the inflation tube is twisted at the valve. This may be indicated by noise. Untwist the inflation tube. ▶ Check that the hand pump is working.
Part of the tent does not inflate	▶ Check that all isolation valves that connect the air poles are open.
Part of the tent does not deflate	▶ Check that all isolation valves that connect the air poles are open.
Air poles are kinked	▶ Add more air (9 psi/0.62 bar).
Air leak	▶ Check that the valve is fully screwed into the air pole and the ring seal is in place. ▶ Check that the cap of the valve is done up tightly. ▶ Check for punctures, see chapter “Condensation” on page 13.
Water leak	▶ Check for leaky seams, damaged tapings and moist areas. ▶ If you cannot find any leaks, see chapter “Condensation” on page 13. ▶ If you find any leaks, apply seam sealant.
Rip in the fabric	▶ Use repair tape to seal the fabric. ▶ Have repairs carried out by an authorized specialist.

Condensation

All tents suffer from internal condensation if one or more of the following conditions apply:

• High air humidity
• High ground moisture
- A drop in temperature

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

If the air pole loses air, proceed as follows:

1. Unzip the outer sleeve holding the air pole.
2. If installed, close isolation valves.
3. Remove the air pole.
4. Deflate the air pole.
5. Unzip the protective sleeve to expose the inflatable tube.
6. Blow some air into the inflatable tube.
7. Submerge the tube in water.
8. Locate the puncture.

9. Use repair tape and repair solution to seal the hole.

10. Zip the inflatable tube back into the protective sleeve.

11. Zip the air pole back into the outer sleeve.
