Using this tent is a breeze. First, find a flat spot for pitching. Unpack the tent and use the poles to set up the freestanding structure. Attach the tent body to the poles, and then use the TipLok Tent Buckle to secure everything in place. The awning - style vestibule can be easily set up to provide extra storage. When it comes to maintenance, after each use, make sure the tent is dry before packing it away. If it gets dirty, gently wipe it with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they may damage the fabric. Also, store it in a cool, dry place to keep it in good condition. When traveling, be aware of the tent's weight and pack size to ensure it fits well with your bike setup.
