INTERIOR ENVIRONMENT
PROLONGED OCCUPANCY
All nuCamp campers are designed for short-term occupancy and
recreational use such as camping. If the camper is used as long-term living
quarters, the warranty may be voided due to increased abnormal wear
and tear since it was not designed for long-term living purpose. Premature
degradation of structure and interior materials such as fabrics, drapes,
curtains flooring, carpeting and even finished surfaces can occur. This will
be perceived as misuse, neglect or abuse according to the warranty terms
and conditions. Prepare yourself to deal with issues such as condensation
and high humidity which can form mold and other damage from moisture-
related issues. To protect your new camper and avoid costly repairs,
manage moisture saturation within your camper. Practical information to
do this is included in the following sections.
AIR QUALITY
Good air quality in your camper can be maintained by:
• Having proper ventilation to carry air pollutants out of the camper
and dilute emissions from water vapor and off-gassing from
interior sources.
• Avoiding harmful air pollutants such as cigarette smoke, pollen, pet
dander, molds, carbon monoxide and household cleaners.
• Vacuuming often to remove pet dander and dust.
• Not smoking inside the camper as this can damage your camper
and releases formaldehyde. This is also a fire hazard.
• Not using bug sprays inside the camper.
• Keeping mold under control.
• Keeping condensation to a minimum.
There are three basic EPA recommended strategies to improve indoor
air quality:
1. Control the Source.
2. Improve Ventilation.
3. Use Air Cleaners.

Consider using an air purifier or air cleaner to promote clean air in
your camper. A few points to note:
• Tabletop air cleaner models are generally less effective than full
size models.
• For an air cleaner to be most effective, good air circulation and
efficient air collection is a key element.
• Air cleaners generally are not designed to remove
gaseous pollutants.
