CARE AND MAINTENANCE
The San Hima rooftop tent is designed to be a reliable companion on your adventures. In order to keep it
performing at its best, San Hima recommends some care and maintenance steps that will help prolong its
life.
Prior to each use, inspect your rooftop tent mounting hardware. If necessary, clean with wet cloth.
Dry your rooftop tent thoroughly before you close it. If unable to properly dry your rooftop tent prior to
closing, open it up and air dry it at your next opportunity. Failure to properly dry your tent out can lead to
the growth of mold and mildew which can degrade the tent material, cause discoloration, and foul odor.
Mold and mildew growth is not covered under your rooftop tent warranty.
To clean your rooftop tent use with cold water and a sponge. DO NOT use soap or detergent. Rinse with a
clean wet sponge and allow to thoroughly dry.
DO NOT expose to petrol, oil or solvents.
STORAGE AND HANDLING
(OFF VEHICLE)
Ensure it is fully dry prior to storage and store in a cool dry location free from sunlight.
Zippers should be pulled with even force and in a gentle manner. Keep your zippers free from dust and dirt
and periodically apply non-scented bees wax to the zipper teeth as lubrication. This will prolong the life of
your zippers.
Keep your mattress dry and free from dirt. Prior to closing your rooftop tent lift your mattress and ensure
the underside is dry. Remove mattress and air dry if necessary. To clean mattress cover, remove cover
and machine wash gentle cycle. Hang dry, DO NOT TUMBLE DRY.
You should ALWAYS wipe your ladder free of any dust or dirt prior to collapsing it for storage. Failure to do
so can result in debris contacting your tent which can lead to damage to your tent fabric.
SETTING UP THE RAIN FLY
The rainfly should be erected using the window rods. Climb half-way up the ladder, take one rod, and
insert the straight end into one of the holes located at the bottom of the tent. The hook at the top end of
the rod should be facing down.
