CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Caring for your Canvas
The tent and the annexe of your Air OPUS
®
are made from a micro weave poly cotton
canvas type material. This has many benefits as it is breathable and results in a cooler
interior in hot weather and a warmer interior when in use in cooler weather conditions.
In order for the Air OPUS
®
to give you years of camping pleasure, the tent and annexe
need to be cared for and MUST NOT be left wet/damp when packed away.
If it is unavoidable that you will have to pack down your Air OPUS
®
when the canvas is
wet, it is very important that the Air OPUS
®
tent and annexe are opened up to dry off as
soon as possible and should be done within 24 hours.
All Air OPUS
®
tents and annexes are to be “weathered-in” before use. To do this
you will need to thoroughly saturate the canvas by hosing it down with water
and then allow it to dry prior to its first use. It is possible, due to the nature of
the canvas that there may be a small amount of water ingress during the first
few uses in wet weather; this is normal as the tent and the annexe go through
‘weathering’ or ‘conditioning’.
If this persists, please notify us as soon as possible.
• Do not use a gas appliance such as gas-heaters or open flame inside the Air
OPUS
®
and do not subject the tent to fire.
• Maintain adequate ventilation in the camper at all times, especially when
sleeping.
• Allow condensation to clear and dry before packing/storing the camper.
• Regularly check the seams of the tent and annexe and if required apply seam sealer or
suitable alternative. Follow the product instructions and allow to fully dry before packing.
• Regularly check the velcro straps and seams, along with the clips on the inner tents.
• Never force the zips of the tent or annexe to open or close; inspect for any issues and
rectify as necessary.
• Ensure the zips are used and cared for properly, if needed a zip lubricant can be used to
allow for smooth operation.
• Regularly inspect the tent and annexe for holes, rips/tears and damages and have a
suitable tent repair kit for use in emergencies.
