Congratulations on your new Pop-Up. Having owned three Pop-Ups, the one "must do" is to keep the canvas material dry during storage. I was fortunate enough to be able to store my Pop-Ups inside of my garage. If we were caught in the rain upon coming home I would open it inside my garage and put a small fan inside to move the air around. I had a Rockwood Pop-Up for 21 years and the canvas looked brand new after 21 years without a spot of mildew.
We raised two kids and two dogs in our Pop-Ups with some of the best camping experiences in our 33 years of camping.
Good luck and wishing you many years of great camping !!!!
