Just take care of it properly and you will be happy with it! You will get lots of use out of it and it's very low maintanence.
Most important rule......Never store it wet or damp. IF you have to leave camp with it wet or in the snow, just unpack it upon getting back and allow it dry completely before storing it!!!

And I wise man once told me.......any tent is better with a tarp over it!!
I would say a very wise man, but he has mentioned that he drinks "cognac" around the camp fire? I have done some research, and what ever "cognac" is, it isn't manufactured in either Kentucky or Tennessee!!!!
