when exposed to moisture (rain and wind). This is a natural property of the cotton.

• Do not store a wet tent folded away for more than 24 hours. Longer storage under wet conditions can
lead to mould, odour and discolouration and will adversely affect the lifetime of the roof tent.
• Remove contaminants and foreign substances from the tent fabric and box lid as soon as possible. These
can cause damage. See chapter “Maintenance and storage”.
• Prolonged exposure to dust, rain, snow, dew, etc. may lead to weathering of the box.
• During use, fixings may become loose. Check regularly that the bolts of the hinges and other parts are still
tight. Tighten them if necessary.
