Tire Changing
Block the wheels on the opposite side from the tire
you wish to change to prevent accidental movement.
Place a hydraulic jack on a level surface under the
lower lip of the axle of which the tire being changed is
located. Do not locate the jack along the frame rail as
this could cause damage to the frame rail.
Loosen the lug nuts.
Raise the trailer until the tire clears the ground.
Remove the lug nuts and remove the tire.
Install the spare tire and install the lug nuts until the
wheel is tight against the hub.
Lower the trailer.
Torque the lug nuts following the Lug Nut Torque
Procedure.
Recheck the torque at 10, 25 and 50 miles.
Use and Care of the Tent
Preventing Mildew
One of the easiest ways to damage your tent is by not
drying it as quickly as possible when it gets wet. Stor-
ing a wet tent for as little as 24 hours in warm weather
is likely to start the process of mildew forming on the
fabric. Mildew can permanently damage the water-
proof coatings by causing them to separate from the
fabric, but mild to severe staining is more common.
Mildew stains are permanent. They cannot be re-
moved without potential harm to the fabric coatings,
and they are not covered by warranty. Even when
your tent appears to be dry after use, it is always best
to unfold at home and make sure it is completely dry
before storing. Periodically open and air out your tent
to prevent odor buildup and fabric deterioration.
Cleaning
Cleaning your tent is not necessary unless it has an
offensive odor or becomes heavily soiled. If heavily
soiled, the pressure from a regular garden hose will
remove most loose dirt. For more serious cleaning,
set up your tent and hand wash it with warm water, a
sponge, and mild, non-detergent soap. Do not use
dishwashing liquid, detergent, bleach, pre-soaking
solutions, or spot removers. Rinse well. Leave your
tent set-up until dry. Never dry clean, machine wash
or machine dry your tent. Any of these methods can
remove all the waterproof coatings from the fabric.
Sun & Ultraviolet Rays
UV light is one of the most damaging elements for
your tent. Though tents are often used in the sun,
extended and prolonged exposure will cause fabrics
to fade, lose strength, and eventually tear. The effects
are more rapid at higher elevations. If possible, pitch
your tent out of direct sunlight and use your rainflies
to help protect the more fragile netting and uncoated
nylon. UV damage is not covered by warranty.
Animals
To prevent damage from animals chewing holes in
the fabric, never store food in your tent.
Seam Sealing
Superior fabrics and construction make your tent
extremely waterproof. If any problems develop, seam
seal the specific area only. Follow the instructions on
the seam-sealer tube. Seam seal the inner, coated,
shiny side of the area only. Use a syringe for accura-
cy. Allow the seam sealer to dry, and then apply baby
or talcum powder to prevent the seam sealer from
sticking to the rest of the tent.
