may, depending on weather conditions, temperature variance, and
furnace usage, experience some condensation inside of coach, more so
at night than day. Such condensation can be reduced or possibly
eliminated by opening the upper corner of bunk end panel, 1/2" to 1".
Fold over to allow small quantity of air to move across roof panel at the
end which has the head of sleeping person.
Each tent has a bed bow mounted onto the bunk door which will swing
into upright position. A bow brace is also supplied to support the bow. It
slips onto round peg mounted onto bow and inner end onto bracket
mounted to upper wall inside of wall.
Two cables are preinstalled from door to sidewall holding door in
horizontal opposition
Important information about your tent
Two tendencies that you may discover in any tent assembly are;
condensation and possible minor leakage during first several times use.
The first one is condensation, described in previous chapter. The second
is concerning potential leakage.
Prepare for your first camping trip
Set up unit at home to become familiar with method of setup.
Spray outside of unit with water until thoroughly wet. Allow unit to dry
completely. Repeat wet and dry process twice more. This will cause
material fibers to close up and threads to swell sealing your tent and
therefore preventing leakage.
Always allow tent to dry completely with bows and braces in place.
Storing unit wet promotes mold and mildew and is not an item that is
considered warrantable.
ALL VINYL TENTS NEED TO GET WET ONE OR MORE TIMES TO
SEAL THE NEEDLE HOLES. Your tent may leak the first time it gets wet.
Do not be alarmed. The tent is sewn with special thread that swells up
and seals the needle holes after it has been wet. Rubbing a wax candle
over sewn seams after the first rain may also assist in quicker sealing.
It is suggested to fully set up your camper and spray water over tent
portion at least twice before using camper, for 30 minutes each time.
Allow it to dry with all bows and braces in position. This is called
preconditioning. Your dealer may have performed this for you.
Prevent leakage during use
Do not
rub against walls, roof or canvas windows when wet or when
raining.
Do not
place objects against tent walls.
Do not
over extend or over stretch your tent, with items such as pillows.
Do not
spray insect repellant or hair spray on fabric as these items may
destroy water repellency of this fabric.
Do not
put tent away in wet conditions. This might be difficult when
leaving campsite in raining conditions. If this does occur, within 24 hours
