Lubricate the bed slides two times each year. Use only a silicone spray to avoid attracting
dirt and soiling the bed mats. Do not permit the spray to me into contact with the tent.

Proper care and maintenance are important for the life of your tent canvas. If the tent must
be stored wet, open the camping trailer and allow the tent to dry thoroughly as soon as
possible. Be aware that the canvas portion of the tent will take longer to dry than the vinyl.
Make sure the entire tent is completely dry before refolding it and storing the camping
trailer.
Assure that your canvas and trailer have good ventilation, especially after a rainy period.
The most common cause of a damaged canvas is mildew, which is the result of storing
your RV for any period of time with a damp or wet canvas, even for short periods. This is
even more important in humid climates.
Touching the tent canvas when it is wet can cause leakage. During periods of rain, avoid
contact with the tent. The natural body oils in skin will neutralize the tent waterproofing
and cause the rain to soak through. If leakage persists, please contact your dealer for
assistance.

The canopy has been designed and built with quality material to give you years of trouble
free service with low maintenance. Read these instructions fully before beginning the
setup. One person can do the setup, but two people will make it easier.
Maintenance:
It is very important to keep the canopy clean. Wash down your canopy; brushing lightly
with a cloth or soft brush. Keep the underside of the canopy clean by simply brushing it
with a clean household broom. The underside can be washed in the same manner as the
top. Hose your canopy down occasionally (every month) with a garden hose. We
recommend doing this on a hot, sunny day.
CAUTION
The tent canvas is a mildew resistant fabric; however, this does not mean that it is
mildew proof. Taking proper care of your tent canvas will help to prolong its life.
For warranty coverage, it is imperative that you read, understand and follow
the
listed recommendations in this owner’s manual and all related literature.
