spots. Your can also use commercially-available spray
or foam-type vinyl cleaners.
WARNING Do not use lacquer thinner, nail polish
remover, carbon tetrachloride, gasoline, or naphtha for
any cleaning purpose. These products may cause
damage to the material being cleaned, and are highly
flammable or poisonous.
WALL AND CEILING PANELS
The paneling and ceiling of your camper may be any
of several finishes and textures. Never use harsh
detergents or abrasive cleaners on walls or ceilings.
Most surfaces will clean with a soft cloth moistened
with mild liquid detergent in warm water. Do not use
large amounts of water, which could saturate the
material.
FLOORS AND CARPETING
Vinyl flooring requires only washing and periodic
waxing. Vacuum the carpeting frequently to remove
dirt. Ground-in dirt will make the carpet wear our
faster. Periodically shampoo the carpet to keep it
looking new. Use one of the foam-type carpet cleaners
on the market. Follow the instructions that come with
the cleaner, applying it with a sponge or soft brush.
Keep the carpeting as dry as possible by not adding
water to the foam
WOOD PRODUCT CARE
Remove dust with a clean slightly damp cloth. Apply a
quality furniture polish and buff with a soft, dry cloth.
Never use harsh detergents and solvents.
LAMINATE TOP CARE
Use a mild dishwashing liquid with warm water to clean
your laminate tops. Use a soft cloth for both washing
and drying. Abrasive cleaners, steel wool or gritty
cleaners will damage the surface.
POWER RANGE HOOD
Clean the filter in detergent and hot water periodically
and wipe down the surface of the unit with mild soap
and water. Use a soft cloth for both washing and
drying.
REFRIGERATOR
Clean interior with mild soap and water after each trip.
Defrost freezer and empty ice trays. When defrosting,
be sure that the drip tray is in place under the finned
evaporator - defrost water will be carried through a
tube from the drip tray to the bottom of the camper
overhang below the refrigerator. Periodically check the
drain tube to assure it does not become plugged.
Leave the door open after cleaning.
DRAINS
If a stoppage develops in the sink or shower drain, DO
NOT use lye or any strong chemicals. Strong
chemicals can harm the plastic in your waste system.
A standard wire drain cleaner is recommended.
SHOWER CARE
For routine cleaning use a non-abrasive cleaner.
Household fiberglass cleaners are recommended.
Never use harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners
Never use a razor blade or steel wool to clean the
surfaces.
SINK CARE
Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring powders.
Use of abrasive cleaners will dull or damage the
surface of this product and could leave scratches. If
material gets scratched, easy polishing brings back
the original shine. It is recommended you use a gel
cleaner or household cleaner made for fiberglass and
acrylic.
Do not use scouring pads, steel wool, “scotch brite”
type scratch pads, or any other abrasive scrubbers.
Wipe only with a soft cloth or sponge.
Always use a cutting board or a sink protector when
using knives or sharp objects. It is recommended that
you use protective mats, racks, or dishpans to help
protect your sink. Always allow pans to cool before
setting them in your sink.

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 accuracy. Allow
the seam sealer to dry, then apply baby or talcum
powder to prevent the seam sealer from sticking to the
rest of the tent.
Condensation
Condensation is the buildup of moisture inside your tent
due to differences between the inside and outside
temperature. In your tent, it is caused by three main
sources:
• Weather conditions: High humidity, low
temperatures, and rainy conditions create the most
condensation.
• People: We produce about 1-2 pints of moisture in
a night through breathing and skin evaporation.
• Wet environment: Wet ground or wet gear stored
inside the shelter will increase condensation.
The key to reducing condensation is ventilation. Fresh
air has to flow into your tent, and warm, moist air has to
escape. The tent manufacturer has designed a variety of
features and options that allow for interior ventilation.
First, tent bodies and ceilings are made of breathable
fabric and MicroMesh™. This allows moisture to
escape, so condensation will be on the waterproof
rainfly, not inside the tent. Unfortunately, no tent
design will totally eliminate condensation in all
conditions, but providing good ventilation using any of
the above tips will help in reducing it.
Zippers
Environments where sand and grit get in the zipper
teeth can cause abrasion and damage to your zipper
sliders. If you use your tent in these conditions, keep
the zipper teeth clean by rinsing them out with water.
The pressure from a regular garden hose will push out
small sand particles from inside the zipper coil.
Handling your zipper slider with care can also prolong
the life of the zipper. Just like a zipper on a duffle bag
or piece of luggage, align the tracks before sliding the
zipper. If you do not camp in the type of conditions
described above, your zippers should last indefinitely.
Fabrics & MicrowMesh
™
Tears
Unfortunately, sometimes damage does occur to your
shelter. Seam sealers are a good option for small
holes, and duct tape can be used for minor, temporary
field repairs. If you use duct tape, be sure to remove it
as soon as you are through with your trip. Otherwise,
the adhesive will eventually eat away at the fabric and
you will end up needing a larger patch. We
recommend carrying at least one emergency repair
item as a precaution.
INTERIOR MAINTENANCE
INTERIOR ODOR
New campers may have a strong odor and even cause
eye irritation when closed up in hot weather. This is
due to glues used in the cabinetry and paneling. This
condition passes with time but in an extreme condition
open the entry door and all windows and allow the
inside to air out for several hours.
UPHOLSTERY AND DRAPES
Draperies, mattress covers, upholstery and wall pads
are manufactured from quality materials and should be
dry cleaned only. Some dry cleaning methods will
damage vinyl or plastic found on cushions and drapes.
Be sure to consult your local cleaners. Frequent
vacuuming or light brushes between cleanings will help
prevent accumulation of dirt and grime. Use of water
based or detergent based cleaners may cause
shrinking. Water stains may become permanent. Minor
spills should be cleaned up quickly to avoid staining.
The affected area should be blotted, not rubbed, to
prevent the stain from working deeper into the fabric.
On vinyl upholstery, remove dirt and dust with a
vacuum cleaner. Wipe the vinyl with a soft cloth and
dampen in a solution of mild soap and water. Use the
same solution with a soft-bristle brush on more difficult

spots. Your can also use commercially-available spray
or foam-type vinyl cleaners.
