Bonfus Duos 2P

The Duos 2P tent is easy to set up. However it is important to get used with the tent and the routines required to set it up optimally before going on a trip.  

1.Find a flat tent site, preferably not in areas where water can accumulate if it rains. To reduce condensation, place the tent away from streams, lakes and other water sources.

2.Unpack the tent from the stuff sack and lay it flat on the ground. In case of strong winds, the tent should be plugged in at least two points while still partially in the stuff sack, before unpacking completely.

3.Stake out all four corners without tightening the guylines too much. The tent should be set up symmetrically with right angles between the corners. 

4.Take your two poles/ trekking poles and set them at 125-130cm length. Shorter length will make the tent touch the ground. The higher you put the poles, the more ventilation you will have inside. Place the poles outside the mosquito mesh, but inside the ventilation openings and doors. Tighten the cords on the two doors just enough for the poles to stand up, without creating too much tension. 

5.Now tighten up the four corners first, and then finish tightening the two doors. Be careful not to over-tighten. The tension should be evenly distributed on the tent and ideally there should be no wrinkles, depending on the terrain in which the tent is set up. 

6.Depending on the weather, you can choose to use 4 extra guylines, provided with the tent. This ensures more wind stability. 

7.If desired, open or close the ventilation opening at the top of the doors, which can be both reached from the outside or inside of the tent. Remember that it is important to ventilate the tent to reduce condensation, which is both caused by humidity in the air and the ground, moisture emitted by your body and by cooking. 

1.Hang the tent to dry after each trip. 

2.The tent should be kept in a dry place and not exposed to the sun and UV rays.

3.The tent should be washed with a humid sponge and cold water at regular intervals to remove dirt. 

4.Remember that one-sided DCF tape comes with the tent and can easily be used for quick but durable repairs. If possible, clean the fabric before applying the tape (regular alcohol wipes for cleaning are sufficient, if not extremely dirty). 

5.Wrinkles and creases can weaken the material properties over time. It is recommended that you lay out the tent into a flat space, and then fold and roll it to a cylinder before packing it in the stuff sack.

6.Always check that the zipper works optimally before each trip. Use zipper lubricant once or twice a year.
