Manual SunnCamp Silhouette 200 Tent

Manual

T

he window has an exterior cover rather than an internal

curtain. This offers two options.

F

ully closed, it is fastened down by the two securing zips.

Note that the zip cover/baffle must be carefully pressed

i

nto place to avoid water ingress should it rain.

Fully open, move the zips fully up to allow the fabric to

be held open with guy rope.

It is advisable to have a ‘Fire’ bucket filled with water,

placed outside the tent. Hopefully it will never be

needed, but if it is, you will be glad you made the effort.

The tent’s fabric is fire retardant, NOT fire proof and

therefore you must not smoke or use a naked flame in or

near the tent. This includes the traditional ‘camp fire’.

Guy ropes can cause a trip hazard and should be marked

so that passers by can see them.

Tent pegs are also a trip hazard and should not be left

‘half in’.

Cleaning…

Both inside and outside of the tent should only be

cleaned using fresh clean water and a damp cloth. Do not

use detergents or chemical cleaners.

Storing…

The tent is best stored in its original carry-bag, however,

if the tent is dismantled when wet, you MUST thoroughly

dry the tent as soon as possible.

After a wet pack-up, erect the tent as soon as possible

and allow its flysheet, guy ropes, any inner tent and of

course the carry-bag to fully dry naturally before

repacking everything away.

If stored when flysheet and/or guyropes are wet, the tent

will suffer from mildew and will become unusable. Please

note that damage caused by incorrect storage is NOT

covered by the manufacturer’s warranty.

Repairs…

Repairs to the tent should only be made by the

manufacturer’s recommended agents. Repairs made by an

unauthorised party will make the manufacturer’s warranty

void.

This tent is designed for light use in normal weather

conditions. It is not suitable for storms, gales, sub zero

or tropical conditions.

Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can weaken the

fabric of the tent. To avoid the risk of UV Deterioration,

site the tent in a shaded area, where it will be protected

from exposure to strong sunlight.

M

oisture collecting on the inside of the tent fabric is

condensation caused by the occupier. It is NOT a sign of

leakage.

Note that condensation or damage caused by it, is NOT

c

overed by the manufacturer’s warranty.

This tent has all its main seams hot air taped to help

prevent leakage. The remaining seams should be treated

with a seam sealant to maximize the tents

weatherproofing.

Seam sealant should also be applied to main seams where

the tape has lost adhesion or has been damaged (tie

points or suspension points for example).

Seam sealant is available from your SunnCamp stockist.

To dismantle the tent, simply reverse the erection

procedure. Do make sure that the entrance is left open to

allow air to escape when rolling the fly sheet up.

All poles must be dismantled and the tent should be

carefully rolled prior to placing back in the carry-bag.

Care MUST be taken to ensure that the protective transit

bags are replaced to prevent the fabric being damaged by

the captive elbow fittings.

The eyelet is for securing the fitting on the end roof

poles.

Remove the protective transit bags from the four captive

e

lbow fittings. The elbow fittings are tethered to the

flysheet by elastic cord and should not be removed. Make

sure you place the protective bags in the tent carry-bag

for safe keeping.

I

nsert both of the Black Shock

Corded Poles into the sleeves

marked with a black band. Then

insert the end of each pole into

the captive elbow fittings. Note:

the elbow fitting has a narrow

aperture for the black poles and a

wider aperture for the steel poles.

Next, connect a steel leg to each elbow fitting, making

sure that the eyelet is uppermost and facing the end of

the tent.

Each leg end slots onto a pin on a ring. The pin and ring

are attached to a fixed webbing strap.

The ring is also used as the securing

point for the tent peg.

Starting with one pole, insert the

ring pin into the end of the pole.

Next, go to the other end of the pole

and insert the ring pin. Repeat with

the remaining two.

Insert both of the Grey Shock Corded Poles into the

sleeves marked with a grey band.

Both ends of the grey

poles are fitted with a

spike which is designed to

fit into the metal eye

fitted to the strapping,

attached to the steel leg.

Starting at one end of the

tent, insert the spike end

into the eyelet.

Next, go to the other end of the pole and insert the spike

end into the opposite eyelet to bring the pole under

tension. Repeat this with the remaining poles.

You can now attach the pole clips onto each pole to bring

the tent flysheet into the correct shape.

Bring the tent to an upright position by pegging out the

side guy ropes. (These may need to be re-pegged at a

later stage.)

You should now ensure that the entrance to the tent is

closed with the zips fully secured. If this is not done now,

the tent will be out of alignment when fitting the tent

pegs.

Starting with the four corners, secure the base to the

ground using the tent pegs. Next, secure all remaining leg

poles.

Secure the flysheet to the ground by inserting tent pegs

through the pegging points.

When inserting into the ground, the

peg should be set at a 45 degree angle

away from the tent. Pegs should be

hammered into the ground using a

suitable mallet and NOT pressed in with

the foot. Most bent pegs are caused by using your foot

r

ather than a mallet.

Pegs that are used to secure the door

opening can be left slightly raised.

This will allow easy hooking and

unhooking when opening or closing

the door.

Peg removal can be made easier if you use a suitable

extractor.

Secure each guy rope, positioning its tent peg at a

suitable distance from the tent.

Once in position, tighten the ropes equally

to bring the tent into its natural shape. DO

NOT over tighten. To tighten, hold the rope

above the slider and pull the slider up. To

release, again hold the rope above the

slider and pull the slider down.

Remember that all guy ropes are a trip hazard especially

in the dark.

The inner tents (1 x 200 model and 2 x 400 model) are

an integral part of the main flysheet and will only require

raising and fixing. Starting with the back, connect each

clip to its respective buckle to bring the inner tent into

shape.

The entrances to the inner tents are single skinned with

a mesh panel at the top which has an integral zipped

curtain. The entrance can be zipped closed or opened and

rolled back out of the way.

The front entrance is single skinned and can depending

upon model, be rolled to one side (200 Model) or up (400

Model). When closed, the zip cover/baffle must be

carefully pressed into place ensuring the Velcro tabs are

aligned and the skirt correctly positioned, secured by tent

pegs, to avoid water ingress should it rain.

Standard Vent Opening…

This vent type is fitted to the sides of the tent and offers

two options.

Fully closed, it is fastened

down by the two securing

zips. Note that the zip

cover/baffle must be

carefully pressed into

place to avoid water

ingress should it rain.

Fully open, move the vent

zips fully up to separate

the sides from the main

tent, than roll and secure with toggle and loop.
