EXTERIOR
• If the tent becomes dirty, use a damp cloth or sponge with water. Do not use detergents,
soaps or solvents since they may remove water repellency, fire retardants, 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 a
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 result
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 nonabrasive cleaners with warm water and a sponge to re-
move 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 making sure there is plenty of ventilation and air circulation.
Using a mild soap and water solution, thoroughly clean the area. Rinse with clean water.
1
CAUTION: Use of bleach or products containing bleach could potentially
damage the tent material causing it to rot away. If such products are used
make sure that the cleaning is followed by several thorough rinses with clean water.
Condensation
Condensation can be prevalent in tent portion of your travel trailer 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.
Use only breathable fabric camper covers, such as those available through your Jayco
dealer, when storing your travel trailer.
SCREEN ROOM
Care should be taken when setting up and putting screen room away to avoid tears and
cuts. When putting away the deluxe screen room, the curtains should be in the down
position and secured to the bottom with their strings.
1. Wash off any droppings or foreign matter from the trees with clear water and keep
vinyl clean when putting away.
2. Do not roll stakes or hardware with the screen room.
3. Never roll vinyl screen room up wet for any extended period of time.
4. If mildew is apparent, it should be treated promptly with a light solution of Naphtha
soap and water. A soft brush or cloth is recommended for cleaning vinyl.
Fiberglass Screening
When possible, fiberglass screening should be loosely folded, not crushed when opening
and putting away screen room. Do not allow poles and stakes to punch holes in the
screen.
