Tent Camper Owner’s Manual
Note: Always ventilate and dry tent (with bows and braces in place), as soon as possible, aer each exposure to
moisture. Mildew is always the result of negligence.
Note: To avoid possible damage to the nish, do not use solvents, rubbing compound or abrasive cleaner or cloth,
to clean your vinyl tent.
Note: Do not use hand-held high pressure spray devises such as those at car washes, as they will damage the tape
and painted surfaces on the camper.
For heavily soiled spots, a very so bristled brush can be used. Before using any cleaner or chemical on the camper,
test a small area rst. Aer washing, rinse the entire camper thoroughly to remove any soap residue, as it can stain
the paint. Use towels or a chamois to dry the camper.
To avoid moisture from entering through breaks, possibly causing problems with interior walls and components,
damage to berglass or aluminum should be taken care of immediately. Cover breaks in the sidewall with plastic,
sealing the edges with tape until proper repairs can be made.
TenT VinyL mainTenanCe
All vinyl tents need to be dampened with water, one or more times, to seal the needle holes. Your tent may leak the
rst time it gets wet. is is normal. e tent is sewn with special thread which expands when wet and helps to seal
the needle holes.
Seal all seams before the rst trip, and each year thereaer to prevent water damage to the interior of your camper.
It’s a good idea to include a wax candle in your eld maintenance kit, to seal small leaks which may develop while
you are camping. (If you use a candle for emergency lighting, be sure to observe proper re safety precaution. Have
your camper re extinguisher nearby, and be sure you and your guests know how to operate it.)
Your plastic windows have a -20° cold crack. Do not crank your tent up to the maximum height in extremely cold
weather, (0° ). Doing so could shatter your windows.
To avoid damage from mold or mildew, allow a wet tent to dry completely before closing the camper. If you must
close the camper with the tent wet, be sure to protect all the cushions and drapes from dampness by storing them
in a dry, protected area.
