CAMPING & OPERATING

Maintenance
Keep your awning in good condition to
prevent costly repairs.
•
Always operate the awning according to
the instructions.
•
Periodically check that the fasteners are
tight. Tighten if necessary.
•
Keep the awning fabric and arms clean.
The effects of wind and rain on an awning are
unpredictable. Severe damage to the awning
and the vehicle may result. If weather
conditions are windy or stormy, or extended
periods of rain are expected, roll up the
awning and secure for travel. Shut the awning
in the travel position if you will be away from
the RV for an extended period of time.
Damage caused by improper awning
operation is not warrantable.
Awning fabric care
One of the best ways to keep the fabric
looking good and to delay the need for deep
or vigorous cleanings is to hose fabrics off on
a monthly basis with clear water. This practice
will help prevent dirt from becoming deeply
imbedded in the fabric. In most environments,
a thorough cleaning will be needed every two
to three years. When it’s time for a thorough
cleaning, the fabric can be cleaned while still
on the awning frame:
•
For vinyl fabric – Use a soft brush and
warm water with soap.
•
For acrylic fabric – Use a stiff brush and
warm water with soap.
When cleaning the fabric, it is important to
observe the following:
•
Always use a natural soap, never
detergent.
•
Water should be cold to lukewarm, never
more than 100°F.
•
Air-dry only. Never apply heat to the
fabric.
•
Always allow the fabric to dry thoroughly
before rolling up the awning.
Mildew
Mildew is a fungus growth that looks like dirt.
Vinyl coated polyester fabrics are mildew
resistant because of a chemical biocide in the
vinyl coating. Under ordinary conditions,
mildew will not appear. However, in areas
where high temperature and humidity are
common, mildew can be a problem and
require the material to be washed more
frequently. Thoroughly rinse the fabric with
clean water and allow to air dry completely
before rolling up the awning.
Pooling
When water collects on the top of the fabric,
this is known as "pooling". This can occur
during inclement weather or if a running air
conditioner discharges over the awning. The
water is dumped when the awning is
retracted. It is recommended that if water
accumulates on the top; retract the awning in
steps (8"-12") to dump the water. This will
help prevent the fabric from stretching or
distorting.

WNINGS
When the slide out extends, the optional slide
room awning extends with it to give your slide
out protection from water, dirt and debris.
•
Periodically check that the fasteners are
tight. Tighten if necessary.
•
Keep the awning fabric and lift arms
clean.
DO NOT connect the 12-volt DC Travel’r
terminals to a 110-volt AC power source!
Doing so will permanently damage the
awning.
DO NOT use oil based cleaners or any
caustic, granulated or abrasive type
cleaners on Carefree of Colorado awnings.
