IMPORTANT NOTICE
Pre-weathering notice for TJM tents
During the sewing process of the manufacture of TJM canvas tents, the cotton thread is forced through two or
more layers of canvas. As a result, holes are left through the canvas in which water can enter early in the tent’s
life. This is a consistent process of manufacture and is not a manufacturer or warranty issue. The thread used
in the sewing process is designed to swell after being soaked with rain and then dried by the sun. When the
process is complete, the thread entirely fills the hole eliminating further water entry.
TJM recommends TJM customers adhere to the following steps to ensure and enhance waterproof sealing;
1. TJM tents need to be soaked through with constant rain. A minimum of 4 hours is essential to the
conditioning process of the canvas and seams. Watering with a hose is insufficient and will not ensure
the desired results.
2. After soaking, always dry the tent out in the sun. This is an integral part of the procedure as it swells the
cotton thread and shrinks the canvas around it, forming the desired watertight seal. This watertight seal
will last the lifetime of the tent and will ensure and enhance the waterproof sealing.
Ladder Extension Accessory
A ladder extension may be required depending on the height of your vehicle (in most
cases where the roof tent is more than 2m off the ground).
Slide the ladder extension into the base of the main ladder. Position the ladder and
extension to an appropriate climbing angle. Drill two 8mm holes into the main ladder to
accept the two locking pins from the ladder extension.
The ladder extension is stored separately in its own bag.
The overlap of the ladder extension to the main ladder must be no less than 240mm.
Please take into consideration that TJM tents are made with quality canvas and in some cases it
may take two or three initial soaking periods to achieve the ultimate watertight seals.
