*Great lightweight shelter. **enjoyable.fishing** recommend it’s love how it blocks the light from outside. It was a pain to open the first time but now that it is broke in goes up easy..*
Better fan option Is get yourself a computer fan & wire it with lamp cord & a switch & your set. Waaaaay cheaper & and takes up no space in your gear bag.
Glad it helped out by any means! Once you have all your gear on the tiles they shouldn’t move around and actually hold on the ice well. If the ice is super wet and water is between the tiles and ice, then you may have a little issue.
It’s is hard to keep the moisture specifically down in these tents. Anytime you run propane, that is going to create moisture along with the top of the tent becoming wet from the outside elements as that will be the warmest part of the shelter. I have learned that insulated hubs help with the moisture control vs. non insulated . Either way, make sure to dry your shelter out as much as you can throughout the season. I try to set mine up in my basement and let dry for a couple days as much as possible. This will greatly extend the life of the shelter. Also note, I have NEVER had dripping from the roof in this otter. The fabric they use and insulation helps greatly with this.

Great tips! Did you have any issues with the foam tiles sliding around at all?
