Seams
The main seams of this tent have been factory taped to help prevent leakage. Depending upon
your expectations, it may be necessary to treat the remaining seams with a seam sealant. Seam
sealant should also be applied to areas where the taping is damaged or has peeled away
through wear and tear. It can also be applied to areas where a leak may have developed.
Kampa® seam sealant is available from your dealer.
UV Degradation
Tent fabrics can be weakened by prolonged exposure to sunlight. Kampa tent fabric is treated to
protect it from UV. Under normal use your tent will give long service but use for extended periods
in strong sunlight will soon cause deterioration. In those cases it would be wise to use a site as
shaded as possible. UV degradation is not covered under the warranty. The warranty does not
cover tents used on permanent or semi-permanent sites.
Condensation
Under certain conditions tents will be affected by condensation inside. Condensation and its
effects are not covered under the warranty.
Windows
Kampa use a high quality window material designed to give the clearest view out. Due to
environmental regulations, the composition of the window material means that there may be
some impressions in the window, particularly after storage and folding. These are not faults. We
suggest, particularly in cold conditions and certainly in sub-zero temperatures that the windows
are thoroughly warmed up before set up.
In The Event Of A Puncture
If you suspect a puncture follow the following procedure:
Inflate the tent and then close all the isolation valves in the tent (interior). Wait for a while and then
check each AirPole for pressure. If there is reduced pressure in any AirPole check the connecting
hoses to make sure that the compression fittings are done up tightly. If you still suspect a leak it will
be necessary to investigate the individual AirPole. If tightening the hose fittings does not solve the
problem then the AirPole may be punctured.
To Remove An AirPole
You can remove an AirPole when the tent is inflated or deflated but if it’s inflated the isolation
valves around the pole must be closed.
NEVER OPEN THE ZIP ON THE GREY INNER TUBES WHILST THE POLES ARE INFLATED.
Unzip the sleeve holding the AirPole.
Undo the compression fittings on the punctured pole side of the isolation valve. There may be
one or two per pole. You should now be able to remove the AirPole. Unzip the protective cover
of the AirPole to expose the inflatable tube.
NEVER UNDO THE ZIP IF THE TUBE IS UNDER PRESSURE.
Locate the puncture. This is made easier if you blow some air into the tube. For small holes it may
be necessary to submerge the inflatable tube in water.
Once located the tube can be repaired using repair tape. We recommend Kampa Awning & Tent
Repair Tape.
The repair can be enhanced by using a combination of one of the above and Kampa Repair
Solution which is a flexible adhesive. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to repair.
Another alternative is to replace the tube. Spares are available from your dealer or direct from
Kampa.
Reassemble the AirPole, zip back into the sleeve and reconnect the hoses to the isolation valves.
Care
Tents are best stored opened out. Air fully and ensure it is totally dry before packing away. Store
in a well ventilated dry place. A wet/damp tent will develop mildew surprisingly quickly. Dirty
tents can be washed using clean water and a soft brush. Do not scrub and never use detergents.
The AirPoles do not need any maintenance but should be protected from damage during storage.
Damage due to improper use, wind damage or neglect is not covered under the warranty. Have
any damage repaired at the first opportunity.
Zips should be treated with care, use two hands to close and open and never tread on them.
Never force a zip.
We strongly recommend that you carry a comprehensive spares kit including silicone waterproof
spray, seam sealer and tape for repairing the AirPoles.
Repairs to the flysheet should be made by a company recommended by Kampa or your
supplying dealer. Repairs and alterations made by an unauthorised company may invalidate your
guarantee.
