💡 General First-Time Tips
Practice at Home: Do your first setup in the driveway or backyard. It helps you get familiar with the mechanism.
Check Clearance: Ensure the ladder and tent roof don’t hit trees, vehicles, or awnings.
Secure Accessories: Attach annexes, ladders, or awnings after the tent is fully opened.
Keep the Manual Handy: Each tent comes with a manual; reviewing it first saves time and ensures safety.
