Ventilation & condensation
There is high ventilation at door level and a mesh top section in the bedroom to encourage air flow and water repellent fabric on the bedroom edges to protect against condensation and draughts.
To reduce condensation inside your tent, it must be properly pitched, with the fabric kept taut without being over-stretched, and the air vents open, even when it’s raining.
