CANVAS
Tents, Annexes & Side Awnings
The tent is an important part of your Lumberjack Camper and is designed to withstand most situations, but you need to look after
it to ensure that it lasts and continues to keep you and your family warm and dry when you need it to.
All annexes & side awnings are not designed to withstand extreme weather conditions & must be packed away if such weather is
imminent. Never set up any annexes or side awnings during high wind conditions as damage can occur.
Damages caused due to weather are not covered by Lumberjack’s warranty.
When packing away camper trailers, ensure you have completely removed the annex from the cabin tent prior to closing.
Leaving any component attached can crush, tear & rip the canvas or zips & is not covered by Lumberjack’s warranty.
Seasoning
Our Annexes & canvas come pre-seasoned & ready for use so you can begin enjoying your camper or hybrid straight away.
This means the canvas has been through the seasoning process where it has been soaked & dried repeatedly to allow the fibers
to swell & shrink. This process works to tighten the weave of the fabric & draw the fibers closer together giving it a natural water
repellency.
Storage Tips
1. Ensure the canvas is thoroughly dry before packing away. Most fabrics are susceptible to mildew. Mildew results when
the canvas is folded when wet or stored in a damp place.
2. Never store your camper covered with a tarp (unless it is tied up like a shelter) because it will impede airflow. Mould and
mildew thrive on dirt, moisture and decreased airflow.
3. The best way for prevention of mould and mildew is to open it up at home as soon as possible to air dry. Whilst in
storage, open up your Unit at regular intervals to ensure mould and mildew has not formed in your closed Unit.
4.
Air dry only
. Never apply heat to fabrics. NO DRYERS.
5. Always store your tent clean and dry and it will serve you well.
6. Keep Your Camper Tent Pest Free, it is important to also make sure to give your Camper Tent a thorough vacuuming
after every trip.
7. Store 1 or 2 moisture absorbing packs/ dehumidifiers in the Unit to assist in drawing away any residual water vapour.
