When cleaning the interior of your caravan please
remove the carpet from the vehicle. Vacuum the
carpets to take the dirt out of the pile.
For general cleaning use a dry shampoo,
following the product’s directions.
Never put the carpet in a washing
machine or a tumble dryer.

LEANING AND
C
ARE
The care guide is to help you care for your
upholstery and maintain the product for
many years.
You many find your upholstery a little firm at
least to begin with, this is perfectly normal as
all foam and filling composites will naturally
soften in time. This softening does not
constitute as a fault under the warranty.
Fabrics with a pile may appear to have a
difference in shades, this is due to the direction
of the pile and how the light reflects. This is
not a fault, it’s part of the charm of the fabrics.
Regular care with a soft brush will ease the pile
back and reduce the effect of the pile being
flattened over time.
Fabric will stretch, move and develop creases/
wrinkles during use, these are expected and
are completely normal during the lifetime of
the product.
Most fabrics will show signs of wear over time
this is due to friction, another sign of use can
be little balls of fuzz which could appear on
the fabric surface, this can be different for
each fabric as each fabric will be made up
of different yarns and weaves, all these are
signs of normal use of the product and occur
naturally and is not considered a defect.
It is important all cushions/upholstery are
regularly “Dressed”, this is achieved by a
good plumping of the cushions/upholstery
to ensure the cushions revert to their shape.
All cushions and arm pads should have the
creases and wrinkles smoothed out daily.
Without “Dressing” and “Smoothing” the
cushions it could give the appearance of flat/
miss shaped or making the fabric appear loose
or baggy. This is not a defect but part of the
care of the product/s.
Please ensure all cushions/upholstery are
always placed in the correct position during use.
Vacuuming or using a soft brush frequently
on products helps to eliminate dirt and dust
particles which will also keep the product in
tip-top condition.
Avoiding prolonged exposure in direct sunlight
or heat source as this will have an adverse
effect on the product/s.
Dry clean all products only, if a spillage occurs, we
advise removing the excess with a soft absorbent
cloth or paper towel. Do not soak or rub/scrub
any fabrics, we always advise contacting a
professional cleaning services for advice
W
INTERISATION AND
S
TORAGE
Mattresses are made from fire retardant fabric
and are of a honeycomb constriction based on
solid foam with diamond cut out to perform like
a spring. It is recommended that mattresses be
stored on edge during winter. Try to keep your
cushions away from direct sunlight.
C
URTAINS
It is recommended that the curtains in your
caravan are washed on a delicate cycle at
30°C. This will not damage the clip glides.
Shrinkage may be caused should you decide to
dry clean your curtains.
Curtains should not be left closed during daytime
hours otherwise some fading may occur.
WINDOW BLINDS
P
LEATED WINDOW BLINDS
Please note the blinds should not be closed
(down position) when the vehicle is travelling
or when in storage for prolonged periods.
The sun screen is housed at the bottom and
the fly screen at the top of the blind. To open
hold the cross bar and pull up or down. Both
blinds can be fully extended to totally cover the
window or can meet at any position to give sun
shading/privacy and protection from insects
entering the vehicle.
The blinds are pre-set to the correct tension.
If re-tensioning is required please follow
these steps:
