7. CARE OF AWNING
Awning
Awning fabrics can be weakened by prolonged exposure to sunlight.
Under normal holiday use your awning will give long service but used
for prolonged or 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 awnings warranty. The
warranty does not cover awnings for permanent or seasonal site use. This
is the ideal awning for short breaks.
Awnings are best stored loosely packaged and ensure it is totally dry before
packing away. Store in a well ventilated dry place. A wet/damp awning will
develop mildew surprisingly quickly. Dirty awnings can be washed using
clean water and a soft brush. Do not scrub and never use detergent.
Look after your awning and it will look after you. Have any damage repaired
at the first opportunity. Zips should be treated with care, use two hands to
close and open and do not tread on them. Never force a zip. We strongly
recommend that you carry a comprehensive spares kit including silicone
waterproof spray and spare guy ropes and pegs for extreme weather. We
provide a small repair kit to cope with minor accidents and problems. If the
patch is sewn onto the awning you will have to seal the stitch holes with
seam seal.
If you have any queries relating to your Air awning, or its warranty, then
please contact your supplying dealer.
During your holiday your awning can get pretty dirty. This can be caused by
a number of reasons of course. For instance, when you have experienced
a long period of dry weather, a lot of dust can be found on top of your
awning. By regularly dusting the canvas with a dry brush you will prevent
black runs from appearing after the first shower of rain. You can already
start with some of the maintenance during the last day of your holiday.
When the weather permits, you can start to clean the mud walls of the
awning with lukewarm water and leave it to dry. After you eventually
dismantle the awning, you can clean the ground sheet, draught skirt and
pegs and dry them.
