EXTERIOR
• If the tent becomes dirty, use a damp cloth or sponge with water.
Do not use harsh
detergents, soaps or solvents since they may remove water repellency, fire retar-
dants, and damage the surface or color.
• Do not use aerosol type cleaners.
• Do not use insect repellent, hair sprays or suntan lotions around fabrics as they may
stain fabrics and damage or destroy water repellency. If accidental contact occurs, apply
fabric protector or utilize a professional to provide water repellant treatment.
• Be sure to clean bird droppings, tree sap, dirt and soot from campfires off of the tent.
•
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 re-
sult of storing your unit for any period of time with a damp or wet canvas, even
for short periods. This is even more important in humid climates. If the tent must
be stored wet, open the unit and allow it to dry thoroughly as soon as possible.
• For vinyl awning, use only non-abrasive cleaners with warm water and a sponge to remove
excess dirt and grime.
Do not use cleaners with a bleach ingredient. Chlorine or
bleach will strip the finish and color from your vinyl.
• If water seepage occurs in the seams of the vinyl awning, you may want to apply a spray
type water sealant on sewn seams.
INTERIOR
The material used on the interior of the tents is a 100% polyester backing. This material
contains inhibitors that help prevent the growth of mildew on the fabric.
It is not
mildew-proof.
Mildew or fungus may attach to the material, however, the material will
aid in preventing the growth. If mildew does attach itself to the fabric, brush the mildew
dust with a soft bristle brush. Then use one cup of regular household bleach to one gallon
of water to thoroughly clean the area. Rinse with clean water.
Condensation
Condensation can be prevalent in tent campers if proper ventilation is not used. It can
exist whether or not a heater is used. During periods of rain, avoid contact with the tent.
The natural body oils in skin will neutralize the tent water proofing and cause the rain to
soak through. We recommend that you leave a small opening in each bunk zipper to
permit air to flow through and allow the tent to “breathe.” This will help minimize
moisture gathering above bunk area on the vinyl.
